Accept submissions from Johns pace rom?

(1/7) > >>

Hi all

John (Sock Master) have made great contributions to the world of Donkey Kong since entering this forum and is especially known for making Dk Remix. His latest work include a "tournament edition" of Donkey Kong (original gameplay with a pace calculator and stats between the screens).

I think that all scores by this rom should be accepted on DKF for both mame and arcade submissions (up and coming for remix pcbs) as it makes it very easy and enjoyable for all to "pop in" and follow peoples games and quickly get an overview of the start, pace, deaths on which boards and so. I think it will help making the community grow if the streams are more user/viewer friendly - and more people understand whats going on.

What do you think... yes or no?

Latest version of the pace rom is available for mame here: https://donkeykongforum.net/index.php?topic=1642.msg28462;topicseen#msg28462

I am voting yes... John made no changes to the game itself beyond the pace and level sizes.  This is as simple of a decision as allowing d2k submissions.  Jry might want to consider adding a symbol next to games played with this rom, however.

So we're considering accepting scores from a modified ROM that none of the current submissions on the board had access to?

This is not as simple of a decision as allowing D2K submissions. D2K loads a supposedly unmodified dkong rom ... this is a modified ROM. We're talking apples and oranges.

For pace on MAME, you can stream with Pauline and still use an unmodified US Set 1 rom. On arcade, there are a variety of calculators and charts that can be used that are just as descriptive, if not more so, than the modified ROM's metrics.

It would be crazy to accept this ... I'm voting no.

The trainer is very cool but scores should not be accepted. I'm with Wes.

Well the gameplay is exactly the same and the alterations only have to do with stats that wont give you any kind of advantage over those who did not had access to this rom. Its like playing the original rom with the old Pauline pace program running at the same time and showing info for the viewers. We never had any problems with that?
