where is the best place to get MAME Plus? I downloaded it from http://mameicons.free.fr/mame32p/ but my antivirus complains.

Probably another stupid antivirus alert. Your link is the official Mame Plus download site.

Autofire is cheating.
Be a man and play like the game was meant to be.

DEFAULT OPTIONS
NO AUTOFIRE
NO CONTINUES

Arcade games suck even more than consoles when it comes to these setting options

Since you will use the setting regardless of what I say, it's now autofire time! Since there's no autofire power-up in the game we will have the same rule as the Super League. No autofire power-up = autofire allowed.

NO OTHER BUTCHERING WITH DIP SWITCHES OR WHATEVER ALLOWED!

@Akira
Wimps, aren't they?

I will still play it as if I would go to the arcades, throw in a coin and play till I'm busted

Im not 17 and i actually have a life, RSI or other injuries would cause me to miss work!

Its not cheating, its the smart way to do it!

Ther main issues with this game is you must continuusly press the fire button, you cant even hold it down for slow fire!

Im happy to play without autofire if that is the rules!

Nah, it's okay

Just remember to not touch anything else.

Me neither, so if I can't make it, tough shit, no score submitted, like if someone's gonna die for not participating...

It is cheating.
Changing a game in any way to make it easier for the player is called cheating. The head of the competition has allowed your cheating, I am no one, just voicing my opinion.

The smart way to do anything is the right way, not the easy one

Can we stop these tedious options discussions now please? I hope over time we can get all these things sorted (still first round on MAME) before we start a round. Btw : The rules linked in the first post say '...such as the banning of autofire if it is a power-up within the game'. So it was allowed without discussing it here anyway. Mainly pointed at Akira

Quickly mashing the same button over and over again requires no skill. It's also healthy for neither your controller nor your sinews...

We're not playing for money here. The competitions should be fun. Of course every form of cheating is forbidden - except autofire which we had a poll about (14:1 votes for it I think).
I also don't think we should allow it for some platforms while not for others.

You were right Mr Druid, that was the problem

All fixed now and trying to get a decent score

The C64 version though was a tad easier, but not by much

Less enemies in the C64 version

Took me a few tries to adopt to the number of enemies, but still this is a piece of cake compared to Gigawing or Raiden (I really tried it...

). Looking forward to your first score mate
