Game List

Adjudication – We understand different people have access to different equipment - both for broadcast/recording and gameplay (e.g arcade/MAME cabinets). With that in mind - and a desire to be as inclusive as possible since this is just for fun - the official policy will be "make your best effort to provide evidence." While video and/or INP is still the best form of evidence, we will also accept screenshots, photographs, and in-person verification as evidence for arcade cabinets and other situations (e.g. batteries fail, memory cards fill up) where a more complete form of evidence is not available or easily accessible. Every score is subject to challenge / review, regardless of what forms of evidence is supplied. Therefore, it is in every player's best interest to provide as much evidence as possible.

Other Rules
Overall Top 5 scores require an inp, video or stream
-The score you claim must be done on the first credit of your inp recording. Failure to do so will result in your score being changed to what it was for the first credit.
-To encourage good sportsmanship, no recording can be uploaded 24 hours after you recorded it. If these periods are violated, then that person's score for that game will be changed to zero.
-No Autofire
No Pausing
If using an inp file can use one of the following: latest WolfMAME, WolfMAME .106, or RetroUprising
All scores require at least a screenshot

Scoring

will be Top 5 from each team per game will score points for their team

I assume that submitting a high score via Score Mode counts as submitting an INP?

[Wolf]

yes it counts as long as the dips are the same

Do we get hoodies?

[Kugyince]

Yes, but because they're not making their crowd-funding goal they can only afford to give out partial hoodies, a.k.a belly hoodies.

[krehztim]

I'm looking forward to it. As I told Wolf last month, though, the wife is having a follow-up surgery to her mastectomy on Feb 3. Won't be as major as last time, and I'll have plenty of time to participate - just not a lot of large blocks of uninterrupted time. Some great players have already signed up - I think the total was over 50 last time I checked.

[nick666101]

over 60 now krehztim, i checked last night.

I will try to do the same as igby2 with the STATS BY TEAM for each day (according to my availability). I love the stats too and i didn't post them but i have all my progression by game for the igby2 which is a way of motivate me :-)

Hi.

A french mamescore's member subscribed to the tg site to participate in the yolympics 2016 (on 29th december) but it seems that he hasn't been taken in the draft process. He surely made a mistake.

Is it possible to include him in one team ? His name is Vikleroy

Thank you.

[Cicca]

You'd better post such a request in the dedicated TG forum:
Article: Yolympics 2016 is here! Register now! (http://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/148773-Article-Yolympics-2016-is-here!-Register-now!)
since the tournament organization belongs to TG.....maybe there's a chance...

Does he have any proof that he registered for the draft? Like a post somewhere that says "I registered for the draft" before the draft actually happened? They are sort of being strict this year because of the problems they had with having a second draft last year.
Sorry about that.

Drafted last. Love it.

Jive & Fred: Nice entertaining draft stream!

[George Riley]

Yep, it looks like there is enough evidence there to be let in the tourney. Just need final approval from Wes.

[OMGKreygasm]

I think we are one player short from being equal across all 4 so it would make sense from that perspective as well.

I assure it was not me who lobbied for the Staal selection....though the Klax stream will be epic I imagine.

[nick666101]

3 more days, can't wait for it to start c:
Also nice that I'm pretty much done with my exams when it starts x3

I think Wes Copeland will let him in, but I think you or he needs to talk to him to get the account set up.

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 AM ----------

Tell your friend Vikleroy that he has been added, and is now on team Puma Men.

Been waiting too long.

[bestcellar]

Hey guys

DonPachi and DoDonPachi have C autofire buttons that you need to enable in dips.

C Autofire is crucial to gameplay in these two games.

Typically autofire is disallowed in these tournaments, - but in this case I would advocate for it.

I think it's important to clarify this

Not sure about Dodonpachi but in donpachi definitely is not critical to use autofire. I'm not saying no to autofire. I am, however saying its not necessary to score well.

[gastrainga]

I discussed this with Wolfman. We're using default settings. So no auto-fire.

[Wolf]

gates are open good luck to all players and teams

[Jason L. Davis]

doesn't show my entry... so depressing

[BiggerJ]

How do I submit an INP if it was generated on RetroUprising?

[Cicca]

You don't, BiggerJ....just check the relevant box....

Ah, I didn't notice that. Thanks.

Hi.

Here are the STATS BY TEAM after the first days of playing :-)

http://www.retrouprising.com/img/2016_01/6076.jpg

I think that it could have been a good thing to have the same thing by game (only the total by team by game) but it's too much hard to update it manually with the actual site.

PS : I sent the same post at TG Forum (because it's easier to insert an image) and i will certainly update the thread on TG. Ref :
