I know it's very late, but can I still join this? I don't know how much I will be able to participate, but it sounds too fun to pass up.

The fuck are the actual rules for this?

Is the scoring scheme actually laid out in writing anywhere?  It obviously should be...

Ok to spark some drama I'm gonna post it.  <gasp>

I think all games need to be played on MAME in the "MAME" Olympics. Way too many games in this have a HUGE advantage if played on the original cabinet due to control setups and some emulation issues (Defender apparently has huge lag issues with input). At least a list of games that must be played on MAME vs Cab is a start as several titles really don't matter much cab or mame (Rally-X, DK, Rtype, Mars Matrix, etc).

I'm cool with whatever people agree to as this is all in fun but feel its worth discussing before this gets too far down the road  <Pigger>

Some games also present an advantage playing on custom controls in MAME vs arcade controls.  I still think player's choice is the way to go.

Curious why this is called "MAME Olympics" at all, to be honest. Most of us will be playing MAME, most of the time, but it seems that the point is to compete at the games, with the platform not being particularly meaningful. (Not like a MARP tourney or RU tourney for example, where MAME is integral to the competition.)

Maybe if it were renamed "Arcade Olympics" we'd all be more comfortable. :)

As for the concern here with cab advantages, I think it balances out. And how many people actually have the games where owning a cab is advantageous? Maybe a few Trons out there, but I wonder if anyone has the driving games.

What controls are people using to play Super Hangon? The default settings for keyboard are awful on RU.

You can pretty much get any game to work with a keyboard, just need the practice. No different if I were to try and play a Tron cab, I'd have no idea what I'm doing as using a spinner and joystick etc is foreign to me. Keep in mind you can use ANYTHING on MAME....PS3/xbox controller, mouse, trackball. Find the right setup and you are almost at a certain advantage

Super hangon - I use "A" for accelerate and "left shift" for turbo. Can't remember if these are default or not
