As many folks probably know by now, RayForce has recently recieved a new port alongside it's sequels. I've spent a little bit of time playing this port and am curious as to how it could be incorporated onto the leaderboards. The Ray'z port seems to perform better than playing on MAME and is far more accessible to a larger audience. The upcoming Steam version should further enhance that. We'll likely need to come up with some rules for running this port though. Primarily regarding rapid-fire, as there's a 30 shots/second feature that could be a bit unfair to MAME players. To demonstrate what I mean, here's a recording with that enabled:
In the meantime, I'll withhold the other run I recorded. This one seems to run 1:1 with MAME, via an enabled PCB Rapid-fire option. I don't quite understand everything; but, it felt far closer to legit.
