Played Solomons Key on the Spectrum recently, due to Facebook compo. I’ll try. The problem is, I don’t do that much emulation these days, as I don’t use my PC as much as I used to. More into real hardware these days 

@Ivanstorm1973:

Oh and Solomons Key...incase that swings it for you 

@Frankie:

Nope doesn't start untill the 1st July so there is still plenty of time. Discord isn't a necessity all you need to do is go to CAGTournaments then login (you must have done this anyway to resister), scroll to summer yolo 2019 and click more info, this will show all registered and give some info about the tournament. All you need to do then is start playing the games. All the games will show on the CAG page you just click on a game to upload a score (inp) and a screenshot or comment if you wish. The games have been announced but aren't live yet i think there is 20 games in total and you can play anytime over the month the tournament runs. Its a team based competition, 60 registered at the moment so they are thinking 4 teams of 15 players each, with the top 6 scores for each team counting towards their teams total score for the tourament. So in this case the best score for New Rally-X would get 24points for their team and the 24th ranked score would get 1 point for their team, anything under 24th position would get 0 points for that game. You can keep resubmitting scores whenever you like so if you get a better score on a game it automatically over rides your previous score. It really isnt that complicate at all, i'm the least techy guy around and i managed to play in the last Winter Yolo. All you need is access to the CAGTourament page and ability to record and zip an inp file. I think they also look for specific version of WOLFmame 183 or 209. Here is the current gamelist if you are interested and want to practice before the tourney starts: New Rally-X, Ms Pacman Turbo, Bosconian, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Contra, Elevator Action, Karate Champ ,Mr Do's Wild Ride, Outrun, R-Type, Shinobi, Smash TV, Sunset Riders, Street Fighter 2, The Punisher, Twin Cobra, Pink Sweets, Tetris the grand master, Mushihime-sama, Giga Wing (Jap).

You never know till you try 

@Ivanstorm1973:

I must be a very old git, but I don’t understand Discord  It looks so confusing, and I could not find my way around that site. If it has already started, I better leave it for this time, but thanks for your offer to help 

@Frankie: I sent you a friend request on Discord. Easier to communicate that way . If youre interested in playing let me know. I'll try and help you get started. Plus theres alot of guys on there that are well experienced.JES, Illseabass, Derek

@Ivanstorm1973:

Find it very confusing. Where is the official site of the tournament?

Just seen there you signed up for the summer Yolympics, you gonna play

@derek:

Thanks 

@Frankie:

Not yet, but voting is open, I put up a link in wolfs thread in contests section 

@derek:

Yes, but been busy lately. Has it started?

Are you the same Frankie that's registered for the yolympics MAME tournament?

@Petete7:

No, don’t have the original, only the Sinclair release Bubble Buster 

Hello Frankie, I've seen your record in the game Cannon Ball of zx spectrum do you have this game or is it an emulator?

Hello Frankie, I've seen your record in the game Cannon Ball of zx spectrum do you have this game or is it an emulator?

@Frankie:

Thanks. Yeah. It's not much on the 8bit games. I rarely ask for new games. But at least it gets better management. HS is becoming very 'fix'.

@GTibel:

Done, good luck 

@GTibel:

Will do during the weekend. Never really figured out how that site works, how to ask for new games and so 

Hi Frankie, can you do me a favor and kick me out of the 8bit addict team on VGR. Another team has been spamming me for almost a year to join them and I finally will so. Not that I am very active... Apparently only the teamleader can do. And I gave that role to you last week

not urgent.

Thanks in advance. Cheers.

@oyamafamily:

Thanks, did not notice before you told me
