It's a Knockout! 2010/11: Quarter-Finals - Lotus Turbo Challenge 2

It's a Knockout! 2010/11: Quarter-Finals - Lotus Turbo Challenge 2


Starts: 00:01 January 2 Finishes: 23:59 January 8

Down to the final eight players now. Group winners will play runners-up from different groups in a straight head-to-head. May the best men/women win.

Rules

Rules are available here. Super League rules are here.

IMPORTANT - You MUST play the WHDLoad version linked to in this thread, as the scoring systems seem to vary amongst different versions, we have supplied the WHDLoad version on a High Density ADF to play in UAE for those who don't use WHDLoad normally, so you can boot it and play it like normal. You need an A1200 setup emulated with a High Density floppy drive and 4MB of Fast RAM.

Post a picture of your score here with the score written underneath. Enter as often as you like.

No cheating (including save states) - anyone caught cheating gets disqualified.

Good luck to all involved - may battle commence...

Downloads

- High Density ADF (see above, this or the below WHDLoad archive MUST be used. Thanks to Hungry Horace for supplying this)
- WHDLoad-installed

Extras

- Lemon thread
- Super League Round 2 threads: EAB - Lemon

Final Scores - EAB, Lemon

jPV - 42,054,645 v. capehorn - 61,425,775

Time to get the ball rolling but it's not a particularly good score.

Are you guys playing the same version of the game? On Graham's list Sout has 25M and on capehorn's list it's 50M.

This cropped up when we played it in the league last year - looks like we're using different versions of the WHDLoad slave. It does appear to be the only difference though.

I'm using Horace's "High Density ADF". Sout also has 50M in that version.
Still our scores are halved. Were we playing the standard Lotus II release capehorn's score would be 121,099,600 which would be displayed as 21,099,600 by the game (hence the score halving).

I can assure you the scoring system is identical in the WHDLoad slave and the HD ADF. Dunno why the highscore tables differ.

I haven't played Lotus 2 before. I seem to have trouble on the 3rd stage, the fog one. Maybe this is a good matchup.

^ You can practice the marshes with password "BAGLEY" and the final track with "E BOW".

I have never used a password before in the league.
Is it allowed in the rules ?

Yes - as long as it's not a secret cheat-password. You obtain the passwords in Lotus 2 yourself by reaching a stage.

Well if you want to practice then there's nothing stopping you. In fact it's probably a good idea.
