I'm putting a $550 bounty on MARP's Space Firebird WR score. The scoreboard can be found here: http://replay.marpirc.net/r/spacefb (http://replay.marpirc.net/r/spacefb)
This bounty will run until May 30, at which point the highest scoring player on the leaderboard (assuming the #1 score is new) will receive the $550.
*Thanks to Eric Tessler for his $100 donation.
*Thanks to Nathan Sheeks for his $50 donation.

What version of MAME do I need to use. #doesntwanthisscoresdisqualifiedagain
-
Doesn't matter as long as it's accepted on MARP :)
-
Note two things:
First, Space Firebird is harder on default settings after .145 due to a change in emulation. Use .145 or lower for this game, unless you wanna make it harder on yourself.
Second, since this will be for the record, it will need to be WolfMAME. MARP requires 1st places to be Wolf.
So, shoot for Wolf .145 or lower. :)
-
Well then, lets hope its much MUCH easier :D
106 here I come. Never thought I'd say that again.

The situation is that, up until .146, they had an older revision of the game (03e-set 2) as the parent 'spacefb' set, and the newest revision (04-u) as a clone set.
They swapped those two versions as of .146, so that the 04-u became the 'spacefb' parent, and downgraded 03e-set 2 to a clone. But what's being tracked on MARP is the 03e-set 2 version, which, since .146, is now 'spacefbe2'.
(This is what they SHOULD do with Mario Bros. already, since they've made an older, super-buggy version with an accidental KS and infinite extra lives as the parent 'mario', and the fixed, revised version as a clone 'marioo' <mad> Eeeediots! <Pigger>)
Anyway, at the same time that they changed the parent set, they also changed the default settings in such a way that the game is harder.
To make things even more fun, the version that works with newer MAMEs has a different dump than the ones that work with older MAMEs, so you'll also have to find an outdated version of the ROM in order to play it on older MAMEs (though I think RU should have the old one?)
<confused>
Here is the WIP note from MAMEInfo.dat:
- 0.146u2: Verified dips for Space Firebird and clones [Tafoid].
- 0.145u8: Andy Welburn added clone Space Firebird (rev. 02-a). Dumped mb7051 prom, I8035 audio and gfx2 rom. Changed clones (Nintendo, set 2) to parent 'Space Firebird (rev. 04-u)', (Nintendo, set 1) to clone 'Space Firebird (rev. 03-e set 2)' and (Nintendo, set 3) to 'Space Firebird (rev. 03-e set 1)'. Renamed (spacefb) to (spacefbe2) and (spacefbu) to (spacefb).

Poor Brian Kuh. Still getting flak from the King of Kong documentary. BibleThump
I know a guy who grew up in my hometown like him. He calls me and tells me he needs a ride from a train station on a Friday night but he doesn't know where he is. Only after describing the surroundings do I figure out where he is. Then, he gives my daughters a bunch of pirated DVDs that end up breaking my BluRay player.
Then he schedules a flight to go back home on Monday, so he ends up spending Sunday night with us unexpectedly. He needs another ride to the train station to get to the airport. I tell him I can drop him off at 8:00 and he says "9:30 would be better". Then I say "I have a job and can't get to work that late!!"
Ironically, he played classic games like I did... had to play Donkey Kong on his knees since he is about 6'4". He also has had the same haircut since 1982 as well. We are not actually friends... he just joined us on a weekend another friend visited us who is more respectful of our time and appreciative of our hospitality.
At any rate, he was a my Brian Kuh childhood acquaintance to a T. By the way, were Brian's parents doctors by chance??? ROFL

Here is an interesting fact about this game. This game was one of the first games Programmed by the legendary programmer Shigeru Miyamoto. The same guy who programmed Donkey Kong by the way. 8)
