    I don't know anything about macs or macmame, but if you don't get an answer here you might want to try on the Twin Galaxies forums. They use inp files for world record verifications and I'm sure someone there knows the answer.

    Does Knights of the Round NOT add 1 to your score upon every continue like a lot of Capcom games then?

    Easiest way to tell how many times you've continued in a Capcom game by the last two digits of the score...

    Ooh, thats a good tip! Thanks, Mayhem!

    Chris

    EDIT: OK, it does not do what you say, but I does something at least as good. Directly to the left of the score is a counter, which counts how many times you use a coin to continue. In any screenshot submitted, that counter should always be at zero.

    So I guess INP files are no longer neccesary. Right, Gapporin?

    The instructions I gave you were for creating a MacMAME version of an INP file. I dont know what hydr0x is doing, other than confusing people. When did I say anything about a save game?

    Try deleting the NVRAM folder in the MacMAME folder and see if that helps (I read that on a MacMAME discussion board).

    Er...right!

    Like Jibba mentioned, next week's games will make sure that your score doesn't get carried over from one continue to the next. Sorry for all the confusion!

    No INP files required? I'm relieved to hear that! This means that I can actually play this game with my Dual Shock controller instead of the keyboard (to make a long story short, because of the switch to OSX - and the loss of InputSprocket - the OSX versions of MacMAME were not compatible with joysticks and controllers. MacMAME has only recently regained joystick/controller compatibility).

    naaah, SHE was confusing herself with some savegames stuff and i just made clear that savegames and INP files are not the same, that's all

    I WAS NEVER CONFUSED BY WHAT I WAS DOING. NOT MY FUCKING FAULT IF YOU CAN'T READ FOR SHIT. OR DO YOU SAY THAT KIND OF CRAP BECAUSE I'M A GIRL?

    Sheesh, I followed specific instructions by Jibbajaba because I never recorded my MAME games before (even though I've been using MacMAME for years). It's not my fucking fault if this feature is not properly implemented in MacMAME, if at all. At least I tried to find a solution, even though there might not be any solution right now for us Mac users.

    If you're so clever, give me a play-by-play account on how to save a .INP file in MacMAME.

    Guys - hate to be a party pooper, but it only adds to that "continue" counter if you continue when the game is over. If you add a credit before the "Game Over" screen comes up, 2 lives are added to your reserve and it doesn't count as a continue. I'm gonna double check that right now.

    Well then it's a good thing I havent sent out an e-mail cancelling the INP requirement.

    You know what the easiest way to solve this problem would be. DONT CHEAT!!!!!!

    @Lady Jaye

    what the???? i'll just assume you're having a bad day or whatever and forget this, damn, when exactly did i insult you?? please calm down, i'm sorry i can't help you out because i don't use MacMAME, i just wanted to make sure you didn't mix up savegames and recordings as that's how it sounded (and for gods sake, this has nothing to do with you being a girl....)

    I'm wondering if, because of all the confusion and now ill will (sort of), maybe we should have a new game. I've put in a little time on the game, and I'm sure everyone else has already, but this is going to set the tone for the rest of the competition. I want to have fun here, I don't want to go through this thread and see a lot of bad feelings pop up in the future. I apologize if I'm out of line here, as I do not mean to offend anyone, especially Jibbajabba and Gapporin. Thanks to you guys for taking the time and setting this all up. I will abide by whatever decision you guys come up with.

    Just my two cents, for what it's worth. Thanks for hearing me out.

    MILK AND COOKIES, I SAID!!!

    @Fergojisan: I don't want to cancel the game, people just need to submit INP files. I have already given Lady Jaye the help that she needed, so she is good to go.

    I'm going to give 50 meseta to the first, third, and fifth people to submit their scores. Why? Because I accidentally double-posted, and this is a way of covering it up.

    I have a major concern. I just zipped up my .inp file into a brand new zip file I created, try to upload it to my e-mail message, and it says it has a virus that cannot be cleaned (which is 100% BS). How am I supposed to send it now?!

    Well, the obvious question is are you sure you don't have a virus? I have already recieved INP files from other players, so either your e-mail provider is bouncing back your e-mail because it doesnt like either zip files or inp files, or you really have a virus and you dont know it.
