Nice job. The dual camera setup works well. Ive been playing around a bit with setting up a proper camera.

Thanks!

OBS, Open Broadcaster Software, works well to capture and display from more than one source.  I have my laptop running OBS, while using the laptop webcam to capture me, and my stand-alone webcam to capture the cab monitor.  My stand-alone webcam is about the lowest end "HD" option there probably is, and getting it to look decent takes some effort.  For some reason, I had to re-tweak all the settings once using it in OBS.

Next stop Top 100! These two scores have been verified and the Main and Start HSLs have been updated. I did enjoy the wall jumping the L5 rivets. I'm sure  would love it too.  Since your Start PB was in the same game as your overall PB, I've only included the main stat breakdown instead of providing the usual "Start" table. All the same information can be seen in the big breakdown.

I'd like to make my first score submission to the High Score List.  It's low and I'm sure that many might wonder why I am taking the time to submit it.  I am here to learn, to improve, to challenge myself, and to support the DK community.  I love the idea of the HSL and I want to watch myself climb higher.  How high can I climb?

So here is the official submission.  Please let me know if I need to do anything differently.  Thanks.

Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated: playing style, video setup, strategy, etc.

Thanks.

Congrats on your first submission, and nice score to set your personal benchmark!  The video is clean for 360p, good colors and scores are clear.

Thanks. I've got a long way to go, both in skill of play and video editing!

I promise not to submit scores every time I get a PB.  I am just trying out video techniques and trying to find an acceptable solution given my outdated laptop.  Moving forward I will only submit based on 50,000 pt increments.

Next stop 150,000!

I am huge supporter of people submitting every score they get and not just waiting until they get a #1 score, or a score they're "happy" with, etc. The competition and scoreboard becomes better and more legitimate that way, in my opinion.

So here is the official submission.  Please let me know if I need to do anything differently.  Thanks.

Everything looks good. Your score has been verified and the High Score List has been updated! You enter ranked #258 and I look forward to seeing you climb the ranks!

Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated: playing style, video setup, strategy, etc.

For video quality, consider increasing the capture frame rate. It looks like your video was somewhere around 7 FPS. If your equipment allows for it, try to increase that to at least 25. 30 is standard, 60 is  .

As far as playing tips, there are a lot of things that are best learned by repetition (springs, how to jump certain barrel combos, etc.). One specific tip I can offer is to make sure you're always steering barrels out of your way. Take a look at your last death in this game. If you had steered the two barrels down the ladder right as your hammer ran out you could have climbed the up and finished the level before the fireball made its way over.

Verified and HSL updated! Btw, do you know that you had/have your left joystick input also mapped to the 2P start button?  Not an issue here, and I imagine it's related to how the X-Arcade maps itself as a keyboard.

												Level		Total
Level		Barrel		Conveyor		Barrel		Elevator		Rivet		Score		Score
01		10,600								7,700		18,300		18,300
02		8,900						8,500		11,400		28,800		47,100
03		10,900		7,600				9,300		9,600		37,400		84,500
04		13,400		8,400		10,900		6,900		8,800		48,400		132,900

A quick turnaround for a PB and an update to the HSL!  Congrats. This is an acceptable clip for the scoreboard. I do recommend submitting full recordings whenever possible. Full games are more interesting to watch, provide more opportunities for advice, and enable me to provide a thorough breakdown of the game stats.

Thanks so much for all of your feedback. Greatly appreciated!

Ha! I did not realize that. I had some problems with my joystick and I experimented with plugging the joystick into different ports on the x-arcade board. Just happens to be the port that uses 1-2-3-4, and I didn't re-map the 2P start button (since I never use it).

Man, I could smell the kill screen.  Risk management is a key component to continually advancing through the boards.  I was making much better decisions overall, which allowed me to get as far as I did, but all but one of the deaths were clearly of my own doing.
