uhm, pspuae... thats allowed right?

[mihcael]

Should be cool!

Wouldn't of thought pspuae could manage this game??

[john4p]

It will definitely not run fullspeed.

[EmuChicken]

Im not sure myself,
a) Ive never really played slamtilt
b) my psp is gathering du.... NOT REALLY, Ive been Roadrashing it up on picodrive ^-^ - level 4 is HELL!

[mailman]

1,973,249,210

For starters.

[linesmachine]

I don't see any reason for PSPuae to be slow for SlamTilt, it's not an overlycomplex thang.

Roadrash rocks!

[Graham Humphrey]

Got this score this afternoon - it's not very good but at least I was sober then and would probably do very badly now :laughing

[john4p]

I don't see any reason for PSPuae to be slow for SlamTilt, it's not an overlycomplex thang.But the Amiga's hardware is "overlycomplex" compared to the MegaDrive. Thus PicoDrive runs even the SegaCD-games ~fullspeed on PSP while PSPUAE can't do the same with most OCS-titles. Slam Tilt being an AGA-game doesn't help much, either. ;)

PSPUAE is a great application. Lots of useful features, very high compatibility, but unfortunately few Amiga games are really enjoyable on it.
Recompiled on a powerful ARM-device like the Pandora or the Nokia N900 it will possibly finally be the best portable Amiga-emulator (since both devices are way more powerful than the PSP and on ARM-devices the 68000 assembler-core Cyclone can be utilized which means fullspeed emulation of OCS-games is granted).

Previous score was just a warm-up ;)

[Graham Humphrey]

Bump...

Anybody here? EAB has been really rather quiet for compo-related stuff in recent months. Apologies, however, go to anyone who thought the round started on the 76th December as stated in the original post ;)

[TheCyberDruid]

Since you asked so nicely Graham ;)

Will have another go tomorrow.

[Graham Humphrey]

Wow, "ask and ye shall receive" indeed :D

[AmigaFriend]

Apologies, however, go to anyone who thought the round started on the 76th December as stated in the original post ;)

Damn! Was that a typo? :shocked Me was counting the days and then I realize I'm already that late. :D

[turrican3]

I hope you don't forget me, i'll be back for qualification :)

[mailman]

Where is john and rexsu?

[Graham Humphrey]

Well rexsu's giving it a go this weekend I take it. I'm sure John will be along soon. I can't imagine either missing this round. Also wonder where Robo-Sparkle got to.

Good to see turrican3 back too - but we still need more EAB entries. Three out of eleven is a very poor turnout so far.

Remember there's still a week left folks...

[mailman]

To encourage absent players...

6,086,477,760

;)

[john4p]

Nice score. :great

Don't worry, I'll show up in a couple of days.

[rexsu]

3,999,505,470 Bad luck, only X6 :guru

Nice score for Graham, Mega score for Mailman, EAB...what else? :D

[Graham Humphrey]

Good stuff.

Wakey wakey EAB :D

[Bloodwych]

LOL! Wakey wakey indeed! You have to have a LOT of patience for these hi score comps. I tried, but failed. And got quite worked up in the process! :laughing

[rexsu]

@TCD
You have to improve your score to the grand slam :)

@Blade002
Made an effort please, you may be hidden tallents to pinball games :cheese

[Graham Humphrey]

And remember folks, if two more people join the top twelve qualify for the next round rather than the top eight :)

[TheCyberDruid]

@TCD
You have to improve your score to the grand slam :)

Sorry, but 800 million more is just out of reach here :) Like you can see in my round score I was able to score 650 million after quite some time playing. Not going to invest that much time on it.

[john4p]

A score of ~500 million might be enough to qualify after all.

[mailman]

Come on guys! Xpect, Bloodwych, turrican3, blade002, emu - participate!

[Graham Humphrey]

Say please :cheese

Several other people have voted but not submitted a score yet. I hope this picks up soon so we can get a full house in for the next round. Otherwise it's been a very disappointing turnout...

[rexsu]

The calm before the storm ? :nervous

[Graham Humphrey]

Finally we're up to twelve people to qualify for the next round :D

Just four more needed for a full house ;)

[Graham Humphrey]

Last day of the round folks. Once again - if you don't enter this round you've got no chance of taking part in the subsequent rounds.

Still waiting for a new entry to come flooding in :D

[Graham Humphrey]

Just a few hours to go now.

Anybody to keep the EAB flag flying?

[rexsu]

In this end year I have not much time.
But I can try again if you want :)

[turrican3]

sorry for to be so late didn't realiez before now it was so near of the end, i just have the time to play one time to each table :
1,342,668,770 , not enough to be qualified but i will make a last shot.

[Graham Humphrey]

You missed the "only play Ace of Space" bit then :nervous

[turrican3]

[turrican3]

[Graham Humphrey]

Turrican qualifying by the skin of his teeth there - Biscuit agonisingly missing out.

That's the end of that then - the top twelve go through. Superfrog next up and the first round draw.

[rexsu]

I just beat the record, too late but it's not very important ;)

[mihcael]
