Some game's score end with a number different from zero.

Atomic Point or Avalanche for example

Yeah, it would have to be on a game per game basis. Is that possible?

I have found others 2 different situation with high score.

1) I enter an highscore and then it is saved in a different way: G-Darius Ver.2 - New Zero Team and Alpine Ski (I do 1000 points but it is saved in leaderboard like 700k)

2) In some games you can continue inserting coins and the score is not resetted. In the Hunt (I have finished it) and Metal Slug X Super Vehicle -001

I hope it can help

In the case of games like In The Hunt and Metal Slug, when an extra credit is used it adds a digit to the score. So all that has to be done is only allow scores that end in a zero.

Yes, dip switches are reset if you delete the cfg file. Unfortunately we don't have any way to display what the default settings are. However, you can always edit the cfg file as well and just remove the dipswitch lines.

Awesome. Does that mean we can keep the controller config and reset the dips?

Great news. Will the dip switch standard be displayed. Do the dip switches get reset if I delete the cfg file?

Just to add something else to the mix. There’s also the issue of people continuing. Some games add a digit to the score when continuing so this could be easily validated but others like Smash TV and Buck Rogers don’t. Looking in the dip switches finds no way of turning Continue  off.

I'm so excited for this feature. I have a question as my high scores don't appear to be uploading.

 

I'm using the latest mame64 220 and my high scores are saving and loading perfectly but don't upload. Because I have multiple mame systems I store my HI files on a NAS (Init.lua in the plugins\hiscore folder states "local hiscore_path = "Q:\\ROMS\\MAMEHI";")

The Launchbox debug attached states no high score or nvram files found despite it saving to the above location. Does launchbox only look at the Hi folder within the MAME installation?

 

Thanks guys
