Q # 2 , also what is the official xevious world record , i cannot find anything official on that either , i got around 700 k back in the day , but im tipping that is chicken feed on a world stage . so im relying on the worlds best forum and members to cart out the trash on this one !!
 
Galaga World Record - 4,525,150

Galaga Settings:

Dip-Switch Bank 6J:
1 = OFF
2 = ON
3-6 = OFF
7 = OFF/UNUSED
8 = OFF

Dip-Switch Bank 6K:
1-3 = OFF
4-6 = ON
7-8 = OFF

Rapid Fire P.C. Board:

Position B: Normal

Note: The above Dip Switches are the correct Twin Galaxies Tournament Settings for this title and will provide the following settings;

5 Lives
Extra Ships: None
Difficulty: Rank D

Special Rules: Attempts for this variation may be done on Marathon Settings, but once you've lost your 4th Life, you may not allow your ship to be captured or your Tournament Score attempt ends immediately. Useage of the trick to cause enemies to stop firing is banned. It has been deemed permissible for a player to intentionally play on the player 2 side so as to allow the millions-digit to show up in the final score.

Special Note: There are some Midway boardsets where Dip-Switch Bank 6J: has Dips 1 and 2 in Reverse to get Rank D and 5 Lives. Adjustments to these 2 Dips can be made accordingly to establish the settings correctly.


Xevious World Record - 9,999,990

Settings:

Settings of 8-Toggle Switch on Xevious CPU PCB (at 10/D) [7D On Namco CPU PCB]

1-7 = OFF
8 = ON/OFF [1 Coin Counter / 2 Coin Counters]

Settings of 8-Toggle Switch on Xevious CPU PCB (at 10/B) [8D On Namco CPU PCB]

1-6 = OFF
7 = ON
8 = OFF

Note: The above Dip Switches, are not only the FACTORY DEFAULT settings, but are also the correct Twin Galaxies Tournament Settings for this title;

Lives [Solvalous]: 3
Bonus Lives [Solvalous] Awarded At: 20,000 & Every 60,000 Points
Difficulty: Hard Game Play
 
Twingalaxies.com can help you with everything youwant to know.

That being said, I believe the galaga wr is somewhere just shy of 16 mil (for marathon settings). 15,9xx,xxx or something like that. 3 ship start, first ship at 20k and ship every 70k thereafter. Difficulty D, to allow board rollover. Can't help with xevious though.
 
can i get you to do this 1 more time please ?? , but with 1942 , sorry , i looked at 2win galaxies , and i have to sign up , at this stage , just bieng on this forum is enough , my friend got 11,720,00 with 7 ment left , but the TG specs on the dip settings might of not been set on normal ,,, cheers Paul .
 
You picked one game that is very difficult to beat and another that is impossible. I suggest picking something a little easier to achieve nerd immortality.
 
yer you got that right , hey i beat Arkanoid on 1 credit , but after watching a fast moving ball on an ultra brightly colored screen for over an hour , my eyes had permanent " welders flash "
 
Speaking of nerd mortality , how do you get an animated user pic for your profile ??
I tried to put a pic of me for my id , but it said , pic was too large ? , if a pic has too many pixels , then what about these short animations everywhere , or even other peoples pictures ?? <
