Here's my 287 in 2:28.05. My original goal was 200, so I'm pretty happy with this so far. That being said, I'm hoping to crack 300 now.
999 @ 6:23.80 I got my Carnival GM under the most violently uncomfortable conditions imaginable. I've been using an Extron 4LDex line doubler to play console and arcade games on a VGA monitor, but it has absolutely no fucking idea what to do with TAP's 61.68Hz. Not only did the game display in a bizarre partial screen wrap, but there was also some form of inscrutable "floaty" lag. My best guess is that the Extron was trying its damnedest to display a consistent 59.94 or 60Hz in the face of a resolution it could not begin to comprehend. This constant drifting, wobbling timescale made it tough to completely trust my eyes; what I saw did not always agree with my hands or ears. Sometimes it was better to not look all too closely. And yet, for whatever awful reason, I pressed on. All in all, it only took a handful of games to clinch a GM. Dizzy, disoriented, detached from real-time, but successful nonetheless. I would not recommend this challenge to anyone. Extron 4LD: great for TGM and TI, but an absolute toxic reaction when mixed with TAP.
I got a 737... still so sluggish but I guess it's progress. Also holy shit someone actually using Shiromino... guilt for not updating it increasing aaaa lol
Still playing, played a short session to get this. 462 with one of my slowest times. Good job and good luck everyone
