we were able to see the logs saying SARCASTIC_MODE=1.
Absolutely right :-D

@obsidianspider Harder than it looks, first time in a while I've been able to play the weekly choice, will try to scupper all your high scores (lol I wish) this week.

@arkive Your best bet is probably romset version 0.78. which seems to work pretty well with MAME2003 in Retropie.
There's still the odd game which doesn't work very well, but I use advmame for them (0.93 rather than the later version because the later one seems to have a weird sound-delay issue on my setup).

What do we have to do on stage 2? I shot that big tank for minutes and nothing happens...

I found the instruction manual and in addition to telling you how to wire it up and adjust dip switches, it actually tells you how to play.
Based on that it looks like you need to shoot the Super Tank right in the barrel. I'll see if I can do that. I finally got to Stage 2, but the Super Tank kills me instantly.

@meleu Shooting the Super Tank in the barrel does kill it!
I could only take a screen shot by going into the RGUI menu to show that I got to Level 3, and that "inserted a coin" so my score for this round won't count, but it's possible to move past Stage 2!

I think I killed the supertank (once). I just fired the minute it appeared and it exploded with a single shot, right in the middle.
Next time it was pointing the other way and my shots were ineffective.
So yes, I think you need a lucky shot right on the barrel.
-
I got to the second Super Tank, but as @GtBFilms said, it's really a lot of luck on whether you'll land the shot or not.
19,020 is my high score for now.

Man... I could destroy the big tank on stage 4 and reached stage 5. But got a game over very fast and performed a rage quit! Unable to get my score but it was ~38k.
Now I changed my hotkeys and there's button combinations to quit retroarch. I have to invoke rgui and quit from menu.
Unfortunately I'm unable to destroy the big tank at stage 4 again... :-(
