Do you have to do all that every time you screw up and want to try again?

[hank804]

@Cypryssss You have to do that everytime you stop the recording or turn off the machine. It's a small pain, but I've gotten used to it and it's worth it to protect the integrity of the scoreboard.

BTW. Do you have to show the joystick underneath the controls? I'm having trouble finding where it latches. I read that was a requirement.

[hank804]

@bliss1083 You don't have to show the undersurface on the joystick until after the game is over. It's important because it shows that the joystick is a 4 way that it's an original Nintendo joystick. The latches are on the sidewalls of the cabinet. There is 1 latch on each side.

What was that glitch at 2:04??? That could be a switch in the video right?? Surprised that they accepted it.... you kicked some pretty good ass..

[hank804]

@TheWBarry Hahahaha.... I hope that was a joke! Yeah, when my camcorder snaps back into the tripod, I guess it looks that way... I suppose you could super slo-mo and see it's the same vid tho. I sent Twin Galaxies the originals as well and those are super high resolution (I have an HD camcorder).

I figured it out.......as he puts the back panel on again(covering the camera view) he switches out the whole cabinet. Disqualify this man!!!

@Cypryssss if you screw up and you have already done all these steps as long as the camera doesn't leave the view of the machine screen you can kill the rest of your men off and then put your initials and wait for the nintendo of America logo to show up then place 1 credit into the machine at that time and begin a new game.

@hank804 I just paid 275 for mine. I think I mentioned in another video. I'm just looking at the submission video for twin galaxies because now I want to start recording. Thanks a ton for this.

@hank804 - it would really suck for them to nullify your score because of a doubled video. I shall say no more, YOUR SECRET IS SAFE WITH ME!!!
