DK Score Submissions

[corey.chambers]

I have updated the following scores:

Dean Saglio 1,206,800 High Score

Mitch Elliot 66,300 Wild Barrel
Corey Chambers 37,000 Wild Barrel

Mitch or someone else, I know that my wild barrel score is genuine but just in case anyone wants to pretend that it is not in order to take down my missile command, I mean, wild barrel score, could I get someone to verify it for me?

[marinomitch13]

Yer, I can take a look. One sec.

[marinomitch13]

Ok, you're all good, Corey! I verify your 37k inp!

[corey.chambers]

Thanks, it just does not seem right verifying my own stuff.

I got 987,000 last night.  Here's the link:  http://www.twitch.tv/dd0ck/b/468102978

I think a few people were watching...

Congrats Daniel!  Great score!

I agree, awesome score. I will get it updated soon, and as a reminder to myself it was done on a TKG-3 (4 board set)

Everyone, help me out here. I will be making the platform more specific. I will be adding TKG-4 to all the scores that we know for sure, the others will be either Arcade (if we are unsure) TKG-4 or JAMMA. Please help me in this improvement to be more specific about our platforms. Thanks.

[corey.chambers]

For starters, I know that all the TG scores are TKG-4.

You'll also need to specify D2K or HS kits.

FWIW: BITD scores may not have been TKG-4. I would bet that a few TKG-3s were grandfathered in. For all we know Tim Jackson was on a TKG-3 and used the ladder cheat the whole way!

[corey.chambers]

This would be to specify whether it was using these added hardware components. I can see the merit in doing this, but I don't think I can fit any more on the list. For example, if I add another column or put too much int he platform column it can start messing with how some people see the list, I ran into this problem before.

I did not think of grandfathering on TG. Why can't this just be easy, lol.

Well, at least there are some we know for sure. If people know some TKG-4 for sure, just let me know.

[ChrisP]

One important thing about the kits is that they predominate over the boardset, so specifying D2K is more important than specifying TKG-x.

What I mean by that is, if you're using a D2K or HS kit, it doesn't matter what boardset you're using because the kit is actually running the game code that's stored on the single EPROM chip on the kit, bypassing whatever ROMs are installed on the PCB. The kit uses the rest of the PCB hardware (RAM, sound chip, etc.), but not the ROMs.

That means you could have a TKG-3 with Japanese version ROMs, but if there's a D2K kit installed, it will play the US code.

Do with that info as you will!

[corey.chambers]

It is a very good idea. What I could do is have the kind of board such as TKG-4 but then put an asterisk like this TKG-4* if it has D2K, which is what by the way?, or TKG-4^ if there is a high score save kit, and then I will just note on the bottom what * and ^ means.

[corey.chambers]

I also was thinking about offering indicators for the TG top twelve, maybe a TG after the name or something like that. Not sure yet

[Zerst]

I see that I'm listed on the board at 302k from an older TG submission. A few months after that one I got 416,100 which I only submitted to MARP.

Thanks for letting me know, I will updated that after this weekend.
