59620 This weeks dificult question - whether to 'twin up'? Vital for challenge stages but almost guaranteed to lives lives rapidly in the standard game. Deluxe Galaga on the 'miggy is better  |

which version number of mame are you using? The version numbers of the rom and mame have to match, hence the missing .bin files. Let us know which version you are using and it'll be easier to find the correct rom. |

Syd, Trust me when I say it doesnt work, been using mame long enough to know when things are naffed. Ive tried running it on in order Mame32 v.035 Mame32 v.066 Mame32 v.103 MameUI v.129 So thats 4 different sets of Mame spread over 10 years of development from 5 different sites I think I can safely say it doesnt work Cheers Edited by Invisible, Aug 29 2010, 03:54 PM.

Doesn't work for me either. Well actually it does if I use mame32b-036 but due to a compatability issue with vista I have no joystick support with this version  Should be able to play it (briefly!) at work on my PC which uses XP. |

*re compatability* - I'm still using a pretty ancient MAME set 0.112 and although it says that the graphics arent 100% accurate it works fine for me. Wow , just found myself 'in the zone' tonight , and boy that took me back . I was dodging the bullets and blasting away just like I used to do. Either my reflexes arent what they were , or I'm far too much out of practice with simple arcade shooters (probably a lot of both) , but for 10 minutes I was on top form. I doubt I'll beat this score , but I thank you for choosing this title to give me a remembrance of better times. 120180

Some great scores!!! Personally I shall be happy if I can crack 100K  This is another game I seem to have missed back in the day. I know when US gamers mention 'the Golden Years' of arcades both this and Ms. Pacman constantly get mentioned. However, from a UK perspective I can never remember playing either Galaga of Ms. Pacman in the wild - Galaxians and standard Pacman were always much more common as I recall. I concur that S20 is shaping up very well with it's initial two titles  Thanks for the noms

Funny , I remember the same thing , *everywhere* had Galaxians (and clones) but i only really knew one place that had this (and at the same time had Mr Do! and Super Pac Man which were both 'unusual' titles.) I also remember a *LOT* of pirated ones , everywhere had Crazy Kong rather than Donkey Kong (i remember how odd that looked and sounded when i first saw it while on holiday) |

Then stay there and you can score a perfect Edited by Ambroid77, Sep 1 2010, 10:44 PM.

Try pressing Tab when it starts up and go to DIP switches and check what the setting for "Service Mode" is - if it says "On" change it to "Off" and exit MAME then go back in (and don't preess F2). Unfortunately if that doesn't work I'm stumped ! |
