General Rules: Play with default settings unless otherwise specified. If the ROM set is not mentioned, play the parent ROM. No use of trainers, cheats, saved game files, emulator save states or other emulator advantages.
No use of code modifications that give the player an advantage over other players. 1 player only. No continues.
In-game/internal autofire is only allowed if a game has it (enabled through hard or soft DIPs). External/MAME/cheat-based autofire is not allowed.
It is discouraged and may lead to voters not accepting your score to
- excessively point farm
- use glitches or other game exploits

You can use any emulator you want (Retropie, rain, neo geo, Coinops, Antstream, handhelds,...). If specific emulators or versions are restricted, it will be mentioned in the Specific rules.

For Top 3 we encourage (but NOT mandatory) to provide:
a) A full video with DIP Switches to be shown in the video (at the start or at the end of your performance). If DIP Switches are not available, Service Menu should be used instead (at the start of your performance). If no difficulty settings is available on your game, you still have to show either DIP switches or service mode showing this (if not mentioned in the specific rules).
OR
b) An INP file. Please state your MAME version in the comments. And add an URL where the voter can download your .inp. (We currently have no way to store those files on the server, but it is on the roadmap).
For INPs:
o We encourage to also show the DIPs during your video play.
o Delete NVRAM before recording/viewing. Many arcade games that MAME emulates save some information (like high scores) in non-volatile ram (NVRAM), which by default MAME saves in the nvram subfolder. For some games (not all) the RNG is affected by NVRAM, so an .inp file recorded with non-empty nvram won't replay correctly on anyone else's system.
o To record INP file, you require Wolfmame: You can download it here : https://github.com/mahlemiut/wolfmame/releases (or on MARP).
o Record one run gameplay when using INP.
Specific Rules: Play the game in 1 player mode with default settings

Confirmed that I didn't use any autofire. Good old fashioned button mashing!

I think the level order may be different between the US version (terraf) and the Japan version (terrafj). My run was on the Japan version (terrafj).

I'm not an expert at this game but I read the comment by 4kizan. I do know however that some arcade games randomize some things. Chain Reaction (Magical Drop), as an example, randomizes the items that drop each time you play. So, I'm going to vote YES!

Question about this game, i just tried and used the "terraf.zip". The introduction looks same between mine and yours but after this isn't the same stage... i don't know why. Are levels random ? mine is a horizontal shmup (it's the level 2 on your video) o.o
Is someone get an explanation ? thanks for help.

Auto fire is off by default on this game. Could you confirm you didn't use an autofire advantage (emu or controller) thanks @ dumple.
