DK Score Submissions

[stella_blue]

If I can I submit this I just got 742,600 over on RU

Indeed you can.

Craig's latest DK high score has been verified:  742,600 on 07/27/2014 (ending on Level 16-5).

The  Donkey Kong High Score List  has been updated.

For now, the Source column is linked to the RU screen capture and INP file uploaded by Andrew and wolfman24.

Kongrats on the new PB, Craig!

This is where I would normally include a snapshot of the game summary.  However, Pauline doesn't appear to be compatible with version 0.135 of MAME.  Deaths are not recognized, and the "death points" are added to the score for those individual stages (once completed).  As a result, the stage/level averages and overall pace are somewhat inflated.

When I have time, I'll compile the game stats manually and post them here.

Love it! I have already watched this game so verification is already taken care of and the High Score List has been updated!

Looks like part of level 3 was cut out, but everything else is there.  This is my PB.

I got a 235,100 over at RU.  Not an earth shattering score but it's a lot less embarrassing than the 130k that I currently have on the scoreboard.

I do have to admit I made the screen full sized when I opened the game and I think that registers as a pause and I think I might have fast forwarded the into.  Not a big deal if this dq's the score because of these things but since it's such a small score, maybe it can slide.

Congrats Tanner and welcome to the High Score List! Seems like we have quite a few people gunning for the next killscreen. Who will be #69?!

I'll check with the mods at RU to see what the pause/throttle stats show. At this time we're only accepting RU scores that have no pauses and no throttling.

Tanner's latest DK high score has been confirmed:  546,400 on 08/06/2014 (ending on Level 15-6).

The  Donkey Kong High Score List  has been updated.

Kongrats on the new PB!

I would have verified your score much earlier, but Twitch was apparently unable to locate one of the highlight's video segments (Part 2 of 4).  The playback proceeded smoothly until the 6:11 mark (halfway through L3-4), then the screen went blank.  After a 20 second timeout, I was treated to the following error message:

"We could not find the video file for this quality. Please Submit an Issue Report."

Yeah, I'll be sure to do that.  With any luck, I might get a response before Kong Off XLVIII.   

I manually advanced the video timeline to 34:42 (beginning of the next segment).  Playback continued, from the latter half of L9-5 until the end of the game, without further incident.

The missing video file resurfaced 48 hours later.  Nice work, guys.  Where did it finally turn up?  Under the sofa? 

For the record, had the MIA segment disappeared forever, I would have accepted the score anyway.  The accessible portions of the highlight were obviously from the same game, based on the duration of lost footage (28 min 31 sec), the number of affected boards (34), and the average completion time for each level.

The game summary is attached.

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but I have a score to submit!!  Finally got a 1,000,000 plus on tape.  http://www.twitch.tv/mickywinz/c/4889734
I created the highlight and it should have all the info you need at the end of the recording.  Let me know if I need to do anything else.

Congrats Mick! It was a nail-biter indeed. Your score has been verified and attached is the game summary (à la Pauline). Welcome to the scoreboard and good luck with your future games. Also, the High Score List has been updated.

I realize it's not your personal best, but congratulations on your first recorded million point game!

I've only watched the final minutes of the video (from L21-5 onward), but I plan to view the game in its entirety.

I have 3 observations:

• Needing roughly 8,000 on the final rivet board, and getting it, must have been a nice feeling.
• Upon reaching L22-1, I imagine it was also a relief to secure the 1M without having to trust that 3rd barrel to steer properly.
• Your girlfriend/wife/video assistant is very pretty.

Let me know if I need to do anything else.

Yeah, take a break and let the forum's notorious posers (myself included) catch up.

Thanks guys!  So excited to be on the list

Lovit!

The after-game was pretty funny too 

Good job Mick, can't wait to see you play at a higher pace! Big big big!

[MickyWinz]

Thanks guys!  I'm gonna start playing at a higher pace so Vincent will quit making fun of me.  Phil, thanks for the kind words.  I was watching the stream last night with my wife at the end and I was like "Phil knows my high score!"  I was hyped
