Joust is now TG-settings only or Harder

greenspun.com : LUSENET : MAME Action Replay : One Thread

As promised last month, Non-TG Joust scores have been backed up and then cleared from the site. (sorry for the delay)

When uploading, please ensure you have cleared the .nv file and that you are playing on TG settings.

For anyone who didn't follow the original threads, only two games at MARP have the status of TG-only: BombJack and Joust.

Thanx for your time, MARPers. Happy hunting.

Firstly, there appears to me to be a problem playing Joust on Win37b4, the graphics are a bit screwed up.

Secondly, joust.nv must be preset to TG settings before playing back a recording made with these settings. So delete joust.nv, run the game, adjust the settings (using F2) then escape, then play back the recording. This is unlike games like Bomb Jack where the settings are made using the Dip Switch settings and you don't have to preset the settings if you see what I mean :).

Alternatively, as I have just experimented and found out, a recording can be made starting with a deleted joust.nv file and the TG settings can be set up as part of the recording. In this case to play back just start without an .nv file.

Sorry Quazar, I'll try not to dig myself any deeper :).
