Well, I don't know how many people would have the original hardware.

And the whole thing about people accusing you of cheating, isnt fair due to the fact 5 people could gain up on someone without evidence and just say "Your cheating".

You should make it so there must be clear evidence of the person cheating, somehow.

But you still expect everyone who wants to enter to have not only a working NES but also a copy of whatever game you think of? :facepalm: I mean Super Mario Bros I can understand because that was packaged with 99% of NES consoles, but Punch-Out? Yes it's a good game but personally I neither own it nor feel like running around to track down a copy just to submit an image to a forum for nothing but bragging rights. On top of that, you want to do 2 games a week? You might get 1 or 2 entries unless you only choose REALLY popular games like Sonic 2 and Super Mario World.

At least have separate categories for "Real hardware" and "Emulator", if you're so dead set on the idea that everyone will abuse the emulator to boost their score. :|

That's not the point. :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: All you did was substitute one reasonably popular game for another. Who's to say everyone owns Contra? Or any other NES game for that matter?

Unless it's something everyone can easily do (online Flash games, emulation, freeware PC games, etc) you're not going to see any substantial turnout.

Besides, Contra's really easy to abuse on the real console anyway:

UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A START

Bam. 30 lives.

Meh, whatever. I'll just hook my laptop up to the TV, run the emulator full-screen with no menu bar, and take a picture of that. You won't be able to tell. :twisted:

Anyone who hacks the rom just for the purpose of winning this compo (with no real prize) is an idiot.

I agree completely. Why NES specifically? You are restricting the potential entries by quite a bit. And cheating is completely possible on original hardware as well through a Game Genie. Either use emulators or pick some freeware game like bic said. It would be even better if you picked games that could be played online, either through the game itself or through Kaillera.

Besides, you can't tell me Goldeneye over Kaillera wouldn't be awesome :wink:

I'd suggest giving up on the smb high-score thing and just have a smb speedrun contest.
It isn't that hard to get a decent time for smb1.

First of all, I think this idea is stupid, I do not have the original hardware to play contra, and don't have it. Also, you didn't either, until you got stuff from Stone age. :roll:

Second, I'm getting tired of you not being able to spell check.
