MARP Knockout9 Tournament

**Barra** · 10-25-2011, 03:47 AM

Hey everyone! Hope Im allowed to post this here....

The next knockout tournament is being organised over at MARP. Everyone is welcome to enter so please do!

This tournament has featured some of the highest levels of gameplay on MAME and this year looks to be no different. Even if you dont enter, pop on over to the site when the competition has started and check it out!

The games have not been announced yet, as there is a new co-ordinator whom wanted to see if there are enough players interested. So far it looks around 20, so numbers are good.

Pop on over to:
Twin Galaxies Forums • View topic - [K9] KNOCKOUT 9 - Only if many players are interested...
or
forums.marpirc.net • View topic - [K9] KNOCKOUT 9 - Only if many players are interested...
and sign-up on the forums then post that you would like to enter
Its up to you whether you put me as a referral, as anyone and everyone are welcome!!!

I promise it will be great fun and you will see some AMAZING scores

Cheers!
Andrew

P.S. If you need any help getting MAME sorted (games have to be recorded to be accepted for the competition) then give me a PM and I can give you some advice

You should suggest they play here.

It's easier and more secure.

**Barra** · 10-25-2011, 07:45 PM

Haha yeah I could do, but its very strict regarding recording and the specific rules for each game.

**Kong** · 10-25-2011, 10:40 PM

I'm familiar with their recording rules with wlf and inp files. Our system is more strict, just more automated.

Post the games here once they pick them.

**Barra** · 10-26-2011, 09:12 AM

Yeah I know what you mean.

Sure thing will do.

A challenge with another site might be just what I need to dive into the arcade again.

**joz** · 10-26-2011, 04:54 PM

Interesting. I'll have to see what this is all about.

**Tails** · 10-26-2011, 04:58 PM

I have to apologise as I have been a bit misleading, it seems as though the games will be annouced week by week.

Round 1 commences at the time given above, and ends on the 6th November at 23:59:59 GMT

Rules and general info will be posted prior to the commencement of the tournament.

**Wolf** · 10-30-2011, 02:41 AM

If you are still waiting for your MARP forum account to be activated, it should be done as soon as possible (they have been going through them in lightning speed) but this cant stop you from playing

Game on!

**Kong** · 10-30-2011, 07:47 PM

Magical Crystals » Coin Op

**joz** · 10-31-2011, 07:32 AM

Can I use the games here and submit it them to them?

**Barra** · 10-31-2011, 08:14 AM

Unfortunately not. You will have to download WolfMAME 0.106 or 0.143, record your gameplay and submit through the MARP website.

I don't know how to do that and I can't really download stuff on the computer I primarily use due to it not being mine. I don't think I'll be able to play this then

**Barra** · 10-31-2011, 08:42 AM

I can help you out with how to do everything if you need it, but you will need to do a couple of downloads to be able to compete. Sorry!

**joz** · 10-31-2011, 08:47 AM

Even if I could download all the stuff, I have a VERY limited amount of time to play without having to pause every few minutes. Pausing is against the rules and I'll only have like 20 minutes a day at most to submit a legit score.

**Barra** · 10-31-2011, 08:54 AM

Yeah WolfMAME does not allowing pausing when recording a game. Bummer mate
