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.
Settings for both Namco as Atari Rev 1 or 2 are:
Bonus Life : 10K, 40K and every 40K

roms you can use for this variation are:
- digdug (rev2)

coming back to you, after some checks on this game, it appears that you played with the default settings, so all is good here, despite you not showing dip switches so voters can't know if difficulty switch is set on easy, medium or hard/harder.
so I still suggest you to show this in your next MAME score (in video or on a screenshot would be enough imo if your score is not ranked #1), or to record an .inp using wolfmame and record the playback of it on video.

I reorganized Dig Dug the best I can for now. Feel free to come back to me if you think something is wrong/off. Thanks.

Video show 10k, 40k, 40k, instead of what the rules for this variation ask for (20k, 60k once), moving your score

I suggest you to show dip switches or share an .inp for your next MAME submissions. it's not always obvious what settings you play on by just watching a gameplay video
