I'm more than skilled and experienced enough as a professional IT engineer to set this up and maintain it. it's not a new open source project or anything. i'm literally just using well maintained and supported open source software thst even companies like NASA or government agencies use to track data.

I cannot believe that this is literally the first topic coming up especially from microsoft bootlickers who may have user knowledge but aren't actually fellow professionals. keep to your excel spreadsheets and sharepoint folders, i know what i am doing and as a 33 year old i find being called a child highly insulting!

i mean, if you act like a child, people are going to think you are a child, and you have proven that point perfectly

I'm just sick of people playing mr wiseguy and knowitall when they don't actualy have any clue what they're talking about and i will not use my "customer service" voice if all I'm asking for is people to contact me if they're interested in becoming a member and not to get mr.compliance having a privacy fit about his precious highscores

you seem like a very approachable person that is perfect for bringing people together for a common goal

ofc i prefer all my software to be complete blackboxes, it's much more secure. do you have any idea how ludicrously stupid that is?

I am also very concerened about my prsonal data that's why i'm immediately shutting down any projects that i see coming if they don't make it like i tell it to them. ALso because I am SOOOO worried about my privacy I always sign up to arcade forums with my full legal government name as my username and a picture of myself as the avatar! Makes com,plete sense!

You're quite right, I am such a useless prick, good bye forever, my fair [person-of-non-determined-royalty-level-position], would that I wish we could be. 💔

ahh c'mon now lad don't give up yet. you sure got a witty comeback for me-

Guys seriously now though can we put the banter aside and focus on what's important? I am basically looking for a venue operator that would be willing to put my HDD into 2 of his mame cabs, one would be for horizontal one for vertical.

Just BECAUSE i am keen on security and privacy i'm not just taking any image but making it from scratch to make sure nothing that doesn't need to be on there is on there including microsoft's own spyware! there is no router config or anything else that has been speculated (why would you think that). my script is making a simple HTTP Call to an API just like your browser does millions of times during the day when you surf the web!

Members receive an ready to use hdd image? Is it free? Dose it come with all game roms on it?

How about the users that don't like mame? Will I be able to upload an picture of my high score?

Bitkit2 implemented this really nice and easy to upload the scores.

I don’t think anyone here actually runs an arcade, a couple of people used to work in one and perhaps maintain one.

My nearest arcade is in Croydon, must visit soon!
I go to hog,
would love to go more and support it more,
going to make some time to go soon me thinks !
Love seeing folk in there really enjoying gaming. Especialy Rhythm games, something I haven’t delved into.


Walter looks after all the official high scores.
Also
Isn’t a high score thread already avalible on this site for folk to upload pics of their scores?

As a venue owner (arcade club - unfortunately not “next level”) I can’t see any of my visitors wanting to set high scores on a mame machine. Also I’d not like to run unlicensed ROMs this way.
We have a verified high score system in beta test at the moment , it’s not international as such but we do display the “world record” on most games .

Todays crowd don't give an F for the high scores in Arcade places, of course there are individuals who does but you can count them on the palm of your hand. People just come to spend time with the games, and finish it using tone of free continues, not even realising that there is a high score counter and if they do, like I said before, they don't give an F about it.

There are still a few good scoreplayers in Europe (at least for shmups), but because there just aren't too many good arcades about, all of them are really limited to playing at home.
I need to make the trip up to Bury myself at some point to set some, I know a guy who's set some good scores on Ketsui there but for whatever reason he hasn't submitted them to the site
