mdorman Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 The newest build for Mame/Mess will not play Miner 2049er unless you re-enable the 32kMemory option from slot devices. This is true with either RPK or Software List. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 That is probably because the sidecar cartridge is actually in the 32K space (not the cartridge space at >6000), and MESS needs to explicitly activate the space so that the cartridge file can execute from it.

TheMole Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Is there any way to get off of the middle platform in the second level? I keep falling to my death... At least with this one, I'm in the ballpark of some those other scores... (for now ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 There is no way to get off the platform. I figured this out at the end of my last run. Only way to leave the platform is to exit the level. (Hint hint) Lots of players this month already!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screen Shot 2015-09-03 at 19.59.31.png At least with this one, I'm in the ballpark of some those other scores... (for now ). Top middle has to be done last. You can jump from 2nd level left to the lower middle without dying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfernalKeith Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I have to confess... I HATE this game. I have never gotten the hang of it and I never want to play long enough to try. I'm still trying to crack 100,000 in MunchMan again. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
