found another "catch 22" the game Air Assault, only saves the high scores if the DIP SWITCH "allow continues" is set to off, but it's ON by default! so IF you toggle it to have your high score saved, you can't upload to the leader-board, but IF you don't there is nothing to upload! how do we fix this?

this also happens for Mame games with the latest beta .. never seen this problem before!

BigBox needs to be restarted to update a "recently played" playlist I made .. pretty sure this has not always been the case? everywhere else in BigBox the recent list are working fine also in the last beta my clock was showing as 24H format, and now it back to am/pm ...

update: found a dipswitch setting called "Ranking Save" that make the game save the highscores! but now launchbox says " Aborting MameHighScores.Prepare: Dip switches were tampered with." is there a way to toggle the dipswitch called "Ranking Save" without triggering the tampering thing? hope someone can help? --------------------------- Pink Sweets is marked as working with Highscores, but as far as I can tell Launchbox is not looking at the correct highscore list? in the game you enter your score in a list called "todays heroes", and as far as I can tell from world class youtube videos, that the only list there is??? but in the the .log file the scores nelow are the ones that are being looked at? normal top place is only 10.000 so that should be easy enough to beat, but no matter what I do nothing is registered? please help AND when rebooting the game the "todays heroes" list is not saved, so this might also be part of the problem? is there a DIP setting that's set wrong, so the game does not save the scores, or has something changed to break it?

anyone know if there is a way to get your hiscore manually if the auto sync thing failed? I have a .log file, the nvram file, the hiscore file and a personal record, that was just not uploaded :,(

isn't Cloud Sync supposed to be turned on?

just to add to the post above, I had the exact same problem with dig-dug ... and the solution was the same! if I delete the hiscore and nvram files for the game, AND then uses an old version of mame (in this case .239) it all works again .. and the hiscores are uploaded! can anyone else please check if they can upload dig dug hiscores with .260 or never?

Batsugun: anyone have a suggestion as to how to fix this? TRACE: structure definition 10109e:04:00:00101166:70:00:001011b5:01:15:15 does NOT match hiscore.dat definition 10109e:04:00:00101166:50:00:151011b6:20:00:001010de:30:98:fb ERROR: unable to find a structure from the xml definition that matches size and hiscore.dat definition' for game 'batsugun' is there anything I can do, or is this just something I need to wait for someone else to fix? ----update--- the above in with mame .260.. I just tried it with mame .239 and everything worked just fine ...??

Just played Blazing Star 2 times .. and the first time I scored 305.310.. but that score was put on the scoreboard as 250.000?? then I played the game again, and this time I only scored 256.690, and this was correctly put on the score board ... Looking at the score screen in the game, it says some thing like ALL = 305.310 1 = 256.690 2 = 48620 3 = ------- and so on .. so I'm guessing the score app gets confused by the ALL part?? I have attached the .log if that helps Debug 2023-11-26 08-55-54 PM_blazing.log

is there any way to figure out why some games don't send hi-scores to the Community Leaderboard? (like is there a log file where I can search for errors?) I just tried setting a hi-score on Eyes (US set 1) which is the version listed as supported.. the game saved my score, so that I could see it the next time I booted it up .. but my score did not show up on the weekly Leaderboard, which is empty at the moment, there are lots of scores in the yearly, and since not a lot of people play this (brilliant) game, my sad score should have been in the top10.. I know the score uploading works since I uploaded a (not very impressive) score from muchi muchi pork a few hours earlier So if anyone know how to track down this issue, please help... PS i just installed launchbox yesterday, and upgraded to this beta right away, so I don't know if this is a new problem or an old one?
