RCorcoran Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Ron- Thanks for the info. It certainly makes more sense. Will the golf scores be fixed so that they come up in the right order? If I play the game on difficulty A, would this start another category of scores? Thanks again for your quick reply. Yes, our intent is to fix all score anomolies (sp) as soon as we can. I could create a new category for Diff A... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCorcoran Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 We should have an AtariAge Tourney. Say 72 holes over a few days (18 a day) post your daily score (on honor of cource since this is golf) what say ye?Of cource I would have to figure out how to play the stupid game since I can not seem to hit the ball, but I will work on it tonight!) I'd be game for this. (Shameless TG plug) If you record your game to tape or .avi (PCAEWin), you can submit it for TG consideration. (Shameless plug off)...

StanJr Posted August 19, 2002 Author Share Posted August 19, 2002 What is considered "rough?" Is that the dark green "border" around the field? I thought that was OB, since you can't hit through it on B (which is all I have ever played.) In the weeds Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+johnnywc Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Stan - Yes - the dark green border is the "rough". When the right difficulty switch is in the 'B' position, you cannot hit the ball through it - it will just stop. On 'A', you can hit it through, but it slows the ball down considerably. If the ball gets stuff in the rough, hitting it out is almost like hitting it out of the sand traps. I keep it on 'A' so I can cut the rough on hole #1 and #9, but I put the left difficultly on 'A' to make the cup smaller to make up for that little advantage. In the end, I usually miss two putts a game because of the smaller cup, so I don't think it's worth it. The easiest way to play, IMO, would be left diff. on 'B' and right on 'A'. Just don't get stuck in the rough!!! Have fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCorcoran Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 I only play Left "B" and Right "B". All scores in the TG database are also B - B difficulty. As I said, if anyone wants to play AB, BA or AA, I can create new categories in the database and track those seperately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fretwobbler Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Jeez when I said I was a 44 man, thats on AA,......I'll get my coat :wink: I never expected there were scratch players on the board. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fretwobbler Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 What? What the heck is a scratch player? Its impolite to scratch in public. I dont know if this is the case over the pond, but when a real-life golfer plays off a zero handicap, there are to said to play scratch. So if your good and enter a 'Scratch Tournament' you can kiss goodbye to yer handicap, because they dont count, if it takes you 95 to do the round, 95 is the score you get.

StanJr Posted August 21, 2002 Author Share Posted August 21, 2002 Ya, I know ZIP about golf. Only what one can learn from playing Jack Nicklaus Golf on NES and Mario Golf for N64, and a couple of other computer golf games. Scratch player and handicap are terms that are totally new to me! thanks for the education! Learn-as-I-go Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooterb23 Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 I just did this on PCAEWin...Sadly, whenever I try to record an avi of my game, the controls go all screwy...Both difficulty switches are on B. Not sure if this will show right...if it doesn't, the score is a 37... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fretwobbler Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 I just did this on PCAEWin...Sadly, whenever I try to record an avi of my game, the controls go all screwy... Does the game speed up immesuarably?? or does the game take a single keypress in one direction as a long continues key press? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterb23 Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 or does the game take a single keypress in one direction as a long continues key press? Yeah, that one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fretwobbler Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 I havent found a fail-safe way around this, however you can reduce the frequency with which it happens by - Switch on 'Display FPS' in the Preferances, this will display the frames per sec in the top left corner of the display. when you then load a rom, you will see that it ticks over nicely at whatever its set to (60 default) click the 'record avi' button' when youve entered the filename and clicked 'save' you'll notice the fps drop off dramatically and start to build back up slowly to 60 at this stage down tools, dont touch anything and wait until the FPS has built up-to its correct rate, when its back upto 60 and things have calmed down your far less likely to encounter the problem, it works for me. If you try to move, fire, whatever before the FPS has become stable it seems to carry on having problems and the fps jumps around all over the place. It will still happen occasionally but hopefully yoou'll have less of a problem. Alternatively you can use the DOS version (2.5 or 2.6 only) in which Ive never had the problem. To record to .avi in the DOS version you press BACKSPACE to start the dump and then BACSPACE or ESC to end it. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterb23 Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 Thanks for the advice Fret. I'll try and be more watchful of the FPS, I thought it was all right, but I'll keep that in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
