I am curious as to the formula used to calculate "Top Players ranking". I assume it sort of like 1 point for each person below you for each game ranked on, even those under top 100. Ranking is kept track of even if not in top 100 for any given game. And if I am assuming correctly, does it include 1 point for just playing a game. This because it's possible to be the only one ranked so far in a particular game/variation. Also would ties in a game ranking count towards a point. Hope I'm explaining correctly. Is it as straight forward as this or something else? thanks. BTW I'm 7th on the "Top Players" board and moving up..

your theory proves correct. testing on a variation of phoenix that nobody plays (Hellomat Automaten bootleg of Phoenix) rom "phoenixha" says Supported in leaderboard menu. It saved the .hi file in hiscore folder and uploaded to community leaderboards, perfect. But I found a real mixed bag of results testing 2 other variations of phoenix, all I tested says high scores supported in the leaderboards menu. (S C Novar Bootleg of Phoenix) rom "condorn". This one saves the .hi file correctly, shows back up when playing game, but does not get on the community leaderboard (Sidam Bootleg of Phoenix) rom "condor" . the one doesn't save the .hi file, so obviously not uploading to community leaderboard. searching for condor in the hiscore.dat file does show it listed as working. most likely unrelated issues, or not actually tested. these issues probably would be for developers of the hiscore.dat file and/or hi2txt team I also test a few other Phoenix variations and they worked perfectly. I think I can move out of newbie section on future post and thanks for the help.

you are correct in that it is now saving highscores in the hiscore folder and not the hi folder. will try renaming hi folder zhi folder and retest to check your theory, once I get done with a scan in a few hours. if this fixes it can I put my .hi files in with the new ones created in hiscore, or could this cause issues...

I have the platform named Arcade - FBNEO for fbneo through retroarch. I just went in and renamed the system from "Arcade" to "Arcade - FBNEO". in the AllGames.xml in the plugins.

thanks guys for all the advice, I got it working now. I am just new Launchbox

Hi all, I'm probably overlooking something simple. tested on a game, same version, all default settings, that previously uploaded to mame leaderboards, is now not uploading scores. my previously tested high score is still showing (From mame .212, now is .244). but not any recent greater than previous hiscores are showing up. the game is saving scores correctly with the .hi file to the hi folder. the highscores are reappearing in mame when restarting. autosave is off, cheats and game patches are off. LUA is pluggin enabled for hiscores. have tested on several games that used to work. I have it connected in the cloud settings, and I resynced games. Any ideas. any help would be greatly appreciated. I also updated the hiscore.dat file.

did you ever solve the achievements not showing up in fbneo, but instead showing up in the mame games? I currently use mame standalone through launchbox. was planning on importing fbneo as a separate platform "FBNEO", scrap as arcade, and use the RA fbneo-lib core. wanting to do this for the achievements abilities of FBneo. while use mame for the launchbox community highscores, and mame's superior ability to map across multiple controllers on my emulator cab.
