Skeezix has requested help from the community to add games to Compo4all MAME
The request was made in this post, here's how it works (initial instructions from Skeezix, now slightly edited) :
________________

From Panmame
i) Try each game someone wants, and verify that if you register a score, and then quit panmame, and try it again, is your score is still there? if so, make a note of the score you acheived + the name you entered on the hi score chart, then quit Panmame
ii) Browse to appdata/panmame/hi and remove the relevant hiscore file from this directory (will be called gamezipname.hi, or possibly .dat), place the file you removed in a directory called c4ahiscore (or some other obvious name)
iii) After you have removed the file with the hiscore restart panmame and run the game in question, let it boot ; then quit without playing, quit Panmame, and remove the .hi file without your hiscore, place this file in a directory called c4vanilla (or some other obvious name)
iv) Create a text file that shows the zip name of the game you played, your score & what you entered as your name.
v) Zip the directories c4ahiscore & c4vanilla and the text file with the scores + names and attach the zip to a post in this thread (you may need to click full reply options to attach a file)
What should be in the text file :
Zip name of game played +
Name entered on hiscore table (if applicable)
Score achieved
For example playing zaxon.zip
If the table has:
50,000
30,000
10,000
And you score 12200 & enter A1Z, then let me know :
Game : zaxon.zip, Name : A1Z, Score : 12200
Those items will let me (skeezix) add new games quick.

It seems to make sense to have a dedicated thread for this to avoid duplicated effort and make it nice & easy for Skeezix to find the list of games to be added.
So if people could post the following for games to be added it would be great :
Name of game, e.g Frogger (Sega Set 1)
Name of Zip, e.g Frogseg1
and then attach the untouched Dat File & the Dat file with the high score to the post using the attach files function under the reply box.
@ Skeezix, if you'd rather do this a different way / have the .hi files submitted directly to you, then no worries, just tell us how you want to do it.
