Scoring's back alive!
Cheat used to remove score cap, gameplay otherwise unaltered: [ Ссылка ]
Got the motivation to try the MAME debugger again, got it to work this time and finally made the uncap I wanted since day 1.
There's still small mistakes all over the place, but there's also a couple big ones:
- Accidentally grabbed Crusher instead of Heli in Wierd Walls, causing a long detour to grab the flags (EDIT: No score loss at all due to the timer capping at 240, see 14:14)
- Left the bumper sweetspot in Bonus 3, losing around 3s of sweetspot time and the count of where in the wand cycle* I was (6k from bonus, 45k from time missed)
1.8 could happen for sure. If only B3 was consistent...
*Depending on your score entering the bonus, it's possible to get fewer time extends by scoring more on the bonus. Since time is very valuable in KoTM and it's the end of the game, it's important to ensure you get as many extends as possible, even if you get less points from the bonus itself.
