Wednesday 15th November 2000
  • Looks like the MARP scripts are down again. I've mailed the server administrators and am hoping for news soon. {Zwaxy}
  • More information from the server administrators:
    Hehe. Sorry, I laugh, because it was brian bringing one of our main webservers back from the grave. I'll get it fixed on short order. He said 'everything seems to be working now. Just have to wait and see what complaints roll in'. Sorry about it, but thanks for letting us know. Sometimes, it's hard to check up on everyone, and we miss a few.
    So there you go... {Zwaxy}

Sunday 12th November 2000
  • Trivia Results are in: And I know this was a long game... I was around at 12:45am(strange for me huh?) - Aquatarkus took first place at 8 points. Second went to J.D. Lowe at 6 points, and in third place was Tech Knight with 5 points. Other winners include Ben Jos Walbeehm(4), Barry Rodewald, BBH, Jason Dyer(last 3 with 3 points), and Giovanni Solinas(2). Thanks to everyone for hosting, and J.D. Lowe for scoring. Next trivia game is Saturday, November 19 at 10pm eastern(0200 GMT). They take place every Saturday at EFNet's #marp on IRC. J.D. Lowe's trivia report was updated. {GB9}

Friday 10th November 2000
  • It is the responsibility of the MARP Web Page Maintainer to submit a report on the recent downtime of MARP. What's my report? Gosh if I know. All I know is ZTNet, which hosts Emulation World, which hosts Retrogames, which hosts MARP, was down for 24 hours. I'll give a more detailed report when more information becomes available. {GB9}

Wednesday 8th November 2000

Other winners include Brian McLean(6), David Oliver(3), Mausikin(2), Ben Jos Walbeehm(2), and Ron Corcoran(1). Thanks to J.D. Lowe for hosting and scoring. {GB9}

Tuesday 31st October 2000
  • Boo! Mwhahahaha! You have to deal with the same update again! Mweeeeeeeeehehehehe! Oh... sorry... my halloween spirit was bothering me again. No there's an update to this item below.

  • It's time to begin accepting applications for game coordinators of the first MAME Olympiad beginning April 1st.

    Each game coordinator will be responsible for choosing a playback judge(which can be him/herself), set challenging but reasonable DIP settings, and needs to make sure that it will be able to playback in the latest beta in at least DOS and Windows.

    Yeah, that's not a misprint. You may choose ANY game that MAME has emulated so far. Each coordinator should not begin finding judges or DIP settings yet until they know which game they will coordinate.

    Each coordinator will probably only be given one game to coordinate(maybe two). Please submit as many choices as you like(the more the better!) at goldengameboy@yahoo.com.

    The first priority in choosing coordinators will be people who have a lot of known experience at the game. The second priority will be 'First Come, First Served.'

    UPDATE: Here's a sample ballot of what I'm talking about:

    1st choice - Quarth
    2nd choice - WindJammers
    3rd choice - Pacman
    4th choice - 1943 KAI
    and so on. Any further questions - please let me know at the same address above. {GB9}


Saturday 28th October 2000
  • For those who are interested in the one-life only Snipercade challenge - it is coming back this Wednesday. You can still vote for which game will be in the challenge. {GB9}

Wednesday 25th October 2000
  • Keiichi has pythoned his way onto the scene by adding a 'download mame' under the INP link so you can download MAME without going to the old versions page. {GB9}
  • To allow for this - I've uploaded MAME 37 betas 6, 7, and 8 for DOS, and 5, 7, and 8 for windows. {GB9}

Sunday 22nd October 2000
  • The trivia game that never ended finally did this morning after five hours of brutal competition. David Oliver claimed his stake to victory with 9 points. Barry Rodewald was second with 6 points, and BBH was third with 5 points. Other winners include Ben Jos Walbeehm(4), J.D. Lowe(4), Aquatarkus(3), and Tech Knight(2). Thanks to all for hosting, and J.D. Lowe for scoring. Next trivia game is Saturday night, October 28 at 10pm eastern (0200 GMT). {GB9}
  • I'm just curious... but I wonder if anyone knows that MARP's 5th tournament is still going on... :) It ends November 31st by the way. {GB9}
  • Rough ideas for the first MAME Olympiad are now posted here - please give your opinions on this matter if you're interested in participating in this landmark event. (or at least I hope it will be :) ) {GB9}

Monday 16th October 2000
  • The Internal Server Errors have been fixed. What happened was a python source file(not from this site) that MARP depended on mysteriously disappeared. That file has reappeared and the site fixed. Thanks to Zwaxy and Prophet for correcting the problem. :) I'd like to apologize for the downtime incurred. {GB9}
  • On a related note: Any 5th tournament recording created from October 12th to October 16th will be declared legal for upload up to October 18th in MARP's 5th tournament. {GB9}

Sunday 15th October 2000
  • Ron didn't get any emails - but at least he'll get an update here - his Snipercade high score site is celebrating it's 3 year anniversary today. Congratulations for three years - and we hope for many more to come. {GB9}

Friday 13th October 2000
  • Huh... I don't find this surprising on Friday the 13th - Internal Server Errors. I haven't done anything - so we all have to play the waiting game here... {GB9}
  • MARP has reached 200,000 hits according to NedStat! Thanks to all for making this possible. :) {GB9}

Wednesday 11th October 2000
  • I've updated the tournament banner - changing 'Gameboy's Page' to Archives(and you can find all the t4 recordings on that page under complete results.) {GB9}

Sunday 8th October 2000
  • Trivia results time - Brian McLean won the game with 10 points. Barry Rodewald and BBH each scored 6 points for second, J.D. Lowe was fourth with 5 points, Ben Jos Walbeehm scored 3 points, and Giovanni Solinas scored 2 points. Thanks to everyone for hosting, and J.D. Lowe for scoring. J.D. Lowe is looking for a host for next Saturday's game at 10pm eastern(0200 GMT) - so if you're interested, I'd suggest in contacting him.{GB9}
  • Well now we have a four-way battle to claim the maximum 1,400 points available in the Magical Drop series. Tech Knight has joined the battle submitting the first 2 million point easy survival mode score in Magical Drop 3. He now joins Ashuime Rainflower, Aaron Pieper, and Q.T. Quazar(who once had the 1,400 points) for the big pot. Good luck to all... this should be a very cool battle indeed. {GB9}

Tuesday 3rd October 2000
  • Tournament 5 Note - I suggest recording Metal Slug without sound to make sure it playsback - because if it doesn't, your score will be adjusted to what score it was when it was played back. {GB9}

  • Posted two Playchoice - Super Mario Bros. tricks on the tricks page from Tommi Tiihonen. {GB9}

Sunday 1st October 2000
  • Tournament 5 has started! The settings are: (and remember - add a T4 - not a T5) {GB9}

  • Trivia time! Sportsdude aced the Brian McLean hosted quiz with 10 points. Aquatarkus and Barry Rodewald were WAY back with 4 points for second place. Tied for fourth was Chris Parsley and David Oliver with 3 points, and sixth was BBH with 1 point. Thanks to J.D. Lowe for scoring and updating the MARP Trivia Leaderboard. Next trivia game is Saturday night, October 7, at 10pm eastern(0200 GMT) {GB9}
  • 87 zillion people have told me the leaderboard script is broken. They are correct - and Zwaxy was immediatly notified of the problem. It should be corrected within the next day or two. Everything else is working correctly - so I think we can live without a leaderboard for a day or two. :) {GB9}
