You have to push that button at the table selection screen - Party Land and Speed Devils will then be replaced by Billion Dollar and Stones 'N Bones.
John - If you were in 4th grade and i was your teacher you would recieve a gold star. That worked like a charm. It also happened to be the only button i didnt push during my push every button to get a result conquest.

thanks.

Just to let you all know that the ADFs I linked to in the first post apparently don't work properly (teach me not to test them out) so I've now linked to ones that should work correctly - thanks to Biscuit for finding them.

@Graham
You mean the Skidrow crack? I had it crash on me when trying to save the score on the Speed Devils table. The one by Spreadpoint seems to be working fine. I'm playing on my A600 with a 1.3 kickstart for compatibility.

I don't think it was the Skidrow one; it doesn't list the cracker on PlanetEmu for the one I chose. That one hangs when it's loading I think. But the Skidrow one has its problems too, of course, as you discovered.

Hope to have better scores, but thought I'd post these anyway while I bounce between them in hopes of a jackpot on one.

Just making sure everyone uses the same version to keep it 100% fair.

Did you just do a sneaky edit to the 1st post meaning the AGA version i currently have running in the background while i type this is a complete waste of time

Note to mailman - Start again dude

AGA and ECS versions are exactly the same (don't count graphics, of course). Besides, I don't have ECS version. I just have original AGA version and play this one.

P.S. I haven't noticed that rule about ECS version. Nevertheless it is rather strange to force to use it especially when there are a lot of badly done cracks of ECS version which may be a reason for all those not understandable for me restrictions about playing only three tables out of four.

Well... we decided to go for one version in this competition where there are both ECS and AGA versions, as there are games that have differences and we just haven't got time to be playing all these games to see if they're the same or not. This is what Lemon used to do and it's something that's been carried over into this compo. And again it's only fair and (in theory) will cause less trouble if everyone's on a level playing field.

As to your points about the bad cracks, apparently the game's bugs are in the original version too; if they weren't then the other table wouldn't have been removed from this round. I did however link to a bad crack that didn't seem to work full stop originally (my fault for not testing it) but that's fixed now and the version there should work fine.

It would help greatly if everyone used the versions that are linked to in the first post to make sure it's a fair competition.

If this was just my compo I would discount your score (rules are rules, after all) but I will discuss this with Biscuit (as we have been talking about the ECS/AGA issue quite recently and it's a bit of a tricky issue) and see what the best thing to do is.

EDIT: Final decision to come tomorrow (probably)... (I think we could have opened a real can of worms with the AGA/ECS thing.)
