I'm ok with this until someone hacks the "legit" boards, which will probably happen at some point anyhow.

A real hack should make the score 3.2 million in honor of another special someone.

Alright then. Anyone seen any good movies?

What did you mean by "good movies"?
Come on, the question is obvious.  He asking if we have seen any movies with "good" in the title.
Like
A Few Good Men
As Good as It Gets
Good Morning Vietnam
The Good Son
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

I would rather get an answer to my question from the user who posted the question I was asking about.

Mario500 - we clearly have very different opinions on things. I was changing the subject to avoid a train wreck. I don't like train wrecks.

And the 3.2 Million wasn't about you at all, so I don't really know why you're trying to add that into this bizarre retaliation for whatever offense I apparently caused.

I had never mentioned my self in my previous question and had never had the idea that I was the "special someone" referenced in your previous message here.

What do you mean by "mentioned"?

There are 10 scores between 830k and 930k on the "Original" scoreboard where save states are allowed and none in that range on the "High Scores" scoreboard that doesn't allows saves.

I think it's good that non-mame switch players can experience a kill screen using the save mode and maybe one or more of them found it enjoyable enough that they will continue to use this mode in order to increase their skills and then hopefully later put up a proficient score on the legit scoreboard.

You basically exposed the corruptible nature of the scoreboard.  To be sure someone else would have done it eventually.  Still, the scoreboard has become a complete joke now.  It's too bad Nintendo didn't put in better security measures.

You were correct in saying that if I hadn't then someone else would have done it eventually.

F_symbols put up a score of 1.35M, but it was kind of a bummer because he actually was on pace for a 1.53M game and wasn't quick enough to load a save state before the game ended on Level 19.
