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.
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.
To allow for this - I've uploaded MAME 37 betas 6, 7, and 8 for DOS, and 5, 7, and 8 for windows.
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.
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 :) )
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
MARP has reached 200,000 hits according to NedStat! Thanks to all for making this possible. :)
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...
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.)
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.
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.
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}MAME 37 beta 8 is out - and so is the new MARP database. Here's what's new according to Mr. Pat Laffaye:

Posted two Playchoice - Super Mario Bros. tricks on the tricks page from Tommi Tiihonen.
The leaderboard problems of a couple days ago are now fixed. No further errors. Thanks to Zwaxy for his help on the matter. :)
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. :)
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)
Tournament 5 has started! The settings are: (and remember - add a T4 - not a T5) {GB9}* t4-elevatob : Elevator Action (bootleg) NORMAL DIFFICULTY, 3 lives, Extra @ 10 K t4-kuniokub : Renegade (Japan bootleg) Normal Difficulty, 1 life, Extra @ 30K * t4-mpatrol : Moon Patrol 5 LIVES - NO EXTRA LIVES * t4-mslug : Metal Slug LEVEL 6 - 60 second play time - 3 lives * t4-tempest : Tempest Medium1 Difficulty, 5 LIVES, NO EXTRA LIVES * t4-thepit : The Pit Speed = Fast, TIME LIMIT = SHORT, 3 lives t4-vulgus : Vulgus 3 lives - Extras @ 20K & 60 K t4-wjammers : Windjammers Level 4 - 30 second time limit
Finally - I woke up to the infamous ISE(internal server error) - I have found the problem and will take care of the source of the problem. I apologize for the inconvinience.
I have also updated the MARP Totals Report.
J.D. Lowe updated the MARP Trivia Leaderboard. Actually he did this a couple days ago...
Tournament 5 time - When the time comes around(October 1, 0000 GMT) - Tournament 5 will begin. I will mention though, that once again we will submit under T4. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE T4 RECORDINGS?!!!! WAAAAAAAA! Calm down baby boy... The T4 recordings are here! Oh yeah... everything should be correct now :)
Trivia results time - Barry Rodewald won the game scoring 10 points first. Brian McLean and Giovanni Solinas tied for second with 5 points, David Oliver was third with 3 points, BBH was fourth with 2 points, and Ben Jos Walbeehm, Chris Parsley, J.D.

J.D. Lowe is creating a spreadsheet of the MARP Trivia Leaderboard. This will keep track of all trivia results for the past 3 months or so.
Trivia results are in - David Oliver comes and claims a victory scoring 5 points first. Aquatarkus came in second with 3 points, SportsDude and BBH each scored 2 points for 3rd place. BenJos, J.D. Lowe, Brian McLean, and Barry Rodewald each scored 1 point. Thanks to everyone for hosting, and J.D. Lowe for scoring. The next trivia game will be next Saturday at 10pm eastern(Sunday at 0200 GMT) - with the following rule changes agreed apon by vote:
1. We're going to have one solid host instead of everyone hosting.
2. 10 points wins instead of 5
3. Non-arcade games will be allowed in the mix.
Ocean View has submitted the 15,000th available recording! Woohoo!
We are nearing 15,000 recordings... isn't that exciting?! Updated the MARP Totals Report - now by place instead of by letter/number.
I should comment that I updated the version database to MAME 37 beta 10 - MAME 37 beta 7 is still there - it's just down the versions list a little bit. I do this so we're prepared for future MAME releases for a while.
Added a MARP Totals Report. This mentions total raw points scored and what have you. This report is also on the banner frame.
Trivia results now. Who else but BBH wins by reaching five points first. Second goes to Aquatarkus, Brian McLean, and Giovanni Solinas all with three points. Fifth place goes to J.D. Lowe and Ben Jos Walbeehm each with 2 points. Barry Rodewald, Chris Parsley, and David Oliver all got one point. Thanks to everyone for hosting, and J.D. Lowe for scoring.
MARP IRC News now(remember... EFNet's #marp!) - several people have informed me some new bots have taken over the chat room - the web page for the chat statistics is now here.
Lots of things... so bear with me. First - let's talk about the old versions. I've updated the old versions page up to MAME 37 beta 5 for DOS, and MAME 37 beta 4 for Windows. In addition, I UPXed all versions of DOS MAME between MAME 30 final and MAME 34 beta 7 in case you want a smaller exacutable for those versions. Finally, I updated the UPX from 0.93 to 1.00.
The Rules Page and Banned Games pages have been updated with a number of additions and deletions. Please check them out by clicking on the RULES link above.
I'm daring enough to update during class huh? The knockout tournament's 2nd game has been announced by the name of "Arabian". The game begins at 0500 GMT(00:00 CDT) on the 7th, and ends at 0459 GMT on the 17th(23:59 CDT on the 16th) All details are listed here. Good luck to the 23 remaining contestants! :)

Trivia results are in from Saturday night - a big day of scoring, with 10 people scoring last night - but the big winner, like regulation MARP, was BBH reaching 5 points first. Giovanni Solinas, Barry Rodewald, David Oliver, and SportsDude all tied for second with 3 points. Aquatarkus was the sole 6th placer with 2 points, then Gameboy9, J.D. Lowe, BeeJay, and Chris Parsley all tied at the bottom with 1 point. Thanks to everyone for hosting, and J.D. Lowe for scoring.
The 1st round of the knockout tournament is complete. You can see the results here. Not all results are official for the record...
Debate has been posted for the 5th tournament - make your voice known here. Debate expires September 10th, 2000 at 2359 GMT.
Unfortunatly... I have no days remaining before college begins!!! :( We start it all with Advanced Visual Basic for 2 1/2 hours...
You also have two days remaining to vote for the 5th MARP Tournament. If you haven't done so already - and you want to do so - you have until tomorrow at 2359 GMT.(7:59 eastern)
You have two days remaining to submit a score in the 1st round of the Knockout Tournament(link is to the knockout leaderboard). - Currently, Zylquin, Dith, Zwaxy, Frankie, and Pam on the brink of elimination. Oh yeah... the prize pool is up to $15 now. Continuing to click on either banner ad will add to the pot. A vote will occur in a few days to decide wheater we have prizes or not.
The Knockout Tournament leaderboard has been updated by Chris Parsley - there are four people in one group who haven't submitted a score yet - they would all lose(I believe) if they didn't submit a score. One person from each of the other groups hasn't submitted a score yet. I believe there's a big time penalty for not submitting a score(possibly not allowed to play in future knockout tournaments - don't know yet) - so please post a score even if you think you're going to be eliminated.
Well Pat Laffaye did update for beta 6... but as Q.T. has mentioned, recordings in beta 6 are illegal until further notice (see Update 1 under August 21)...
