P&T's Desert Bus! Any Posted High Scores? - 2007/10/10 22:34 As I'm downloading this Torrent of the unreleased game, I can't HELP but wonder if anyone has posted the Desert Bus High Score? I think it would be interesting to see how long one could keep that game going. Just a happy thought. I hope they brought everything I know and love about P&T's wit and cheaty genius. Well, here is hoping! Lemme know if anyone has played the game and their take on it.

You can cheat and skip frames. Since you can only play the game on emulators, any highscore is suspect.

Re:P&T's Desert Bus! Any Posted High Scores? - 2007/10/11 14:25 Whatever the record is, I'd like to see Billy Mitchell beat it in person on a Sega CD.

Actually, shouldn't it be possible to burn a working Sega CD copy of the game based on the dump that's floating around?

Furthermore, since it takes eight hours to score a point, and there's many digits to the score, and the game has existed for less than twenty years, might it be possible to use an emulator and liberal frame-skipping to achieve a score higher than that which would be possible if someone started playing the game as soon as it was programmed, and played it continuously to the present day?

And how long would that guy's hair be?

Re:P&T's Desert Bus! Any Posted High Scores? - 2007/10/12 19:39 Actually, it is possible to use the ROM to burn a Sega CD game. The Sega CD was never modded to combat pirating since the burning software was so hard to get at the time. And according to my sources, you could burn it no hitch. The only game worth playing on the ROM without burning it to CD is Smoke and Mirrors. I wish I could find the Manual. That game is just hard. But I got my friend to play the Impossible mode and had a good laugh. To bad this company went belly up. The sales from this game would have given it what they needed.

PS: The Billy comment was adorkable. 10+ points for you!

Re:P&T's Desert Bus! Any Posted High Scores? - 2007/10/14 00:37 I have the game (burned copies) and have played it on my 2 SEGA CDs, it runs perfect, since it is a finished game.

I have some pages of the manual, they were scanned by a employee of EA Games, the current owner of the game.

PS: Billy Mithcell is not attempting a record on this game because he is afraid that Penn & Teller might burn his american flag tie.

Re:P&T's Desert Bus! Any Posted High Scores? - 2007/10/15 13:35 Really? Even the Mofo game? I remember trying this on an emulator and some of the games didn't work.

How do you burn it to a CD?

Re:P&T's Desert Bus! Any Posted High Scores? - 2007/10/15 14:40 I spoke to the guy that actually uncovered the P&T ROM and he said that there is a manual and you can download it from this site that I'll link below.
It has the complete explanation. This really works best with two people. The mark playing the game while you hold the second controller and fool them by entering data. IE: What's Your Sign?

I don't have Adobe, but I know you need it to look at it. Can someone post the pages for me?

As for how to burn it to CD Just rip the CUR file to one CD and that is disc one, the second CUR file for disc two. I think that's how it works.

Penn and Teller's Smoke and Mirror's Manual
