Welcome to DKF, Kevin, and thanks for the submission! This INP looks like it was recorded with regular MAME, and for submissions we require WolfMAME: https://github.com/mahlemiut/wolfmame/releases

It works the same as regular MAME but has special features that make it more suitable for competition purposes. Also, please put your INPs in a zip archive when submitting if you can (zip, 7z, whatever).

Hope to see another score soon!

Slightly updated score if you could update please xelnia 

Finding it really hard to stop the pressure when recording.  Any tips to clear the mind?  I've had so many 400-500k games when relaxed including at my local arcade.  Maybe I need to get some music going!

Music might help, or some players cover the score so they can't see it. You might also try thinking about how far into the game you're getting instead of what your score is...or use a higher score as a goal instead of your PB (e.g., aim for 400k, not 222k).

[DonkeyShlong]

I honestly don't know how people keep composed when recording, I just can't deal with the pressure and I think I'm going to stop playing this game for good.  I get tinging hands and extreme nervousness and just can't play like I normally. 

If you watch this INP, you'll see I fecked up on the pies big time when I had an easy run.  I passed out for a moment!

G'Day Kongers,

Looking back over Sept and Oct just want to say there is a lot to recognise. Congratulations to everyone for posting PBs, amazing scores and Kill Screens.
Matt on breaking a mil
BBH, LauraKingNeville, KKX, Wade Wittmar for Kill Screens
Brad Williamson, Maximumsteve for 900K+ scores
and Justin for a mammoth 1.142 mil
and lets not forget Xelnia for continuing the updates to the scoreboard (sorry I am sure there are others but being new to the community I'm still getting a handle on who everyone is)

If I may now indulge in my own efforts separating myself from the ranks above
submitting my new PB HS of 485,200 and a start HS of 101,700 done on Wolfmame 106
I've had a couple of tough months since posting my last PB on 1st Sept, after that the rest of Sept had left me feeling like I have been going backwards and lucky to get 200k.
Things got back on track early Oct with a new PB on the 7th but only by 7100pts not enough for me to want to submit.
Went back into a slump for the rest of Oct only managing 2 games into 300K. However Broke the hoodoo on Sunday with a new PB but alas only by a soul destroying 300pts. Then it came up trumps for me yesterday with a new PB breakthrough game adding 126K. No screwings in there so on and upwards
What a funny old game this is, 2 thumbs up to the community and enjoying the roller coaster ride.

Thanks to all.

Congrats on the new score! Superb stuff.

I too feel like I'm going backwards sometimes, but you have to remember that it's simply due to the randomness of this game. Even the top players admit that if the fireballs want to get you, there's nothing you can do. It really does depend on the luck you get thrown.

Hi xelnia,

Wasn't sure if you saw my last submission with my rambling. 

Thanks

I see everything. Don't worry...I'll get to it.

I've modded a forum in the past, no easy task. Keep up the good work, and thanks for the previous updates.

Thanks DonkeyShlong, I make it a point not to get hung up on the randomness, just plan to get up one more time than I fall over to get to a KS.
