I'll try and match the score to make it legit, might take me awhile?

lol. No worries. The devs are working to troubleshoot as much of the high score issues as they can. Any time you see any issues with scoring please post in our Mame high score troubleshooting thread. In Jason's first posts there are some steps he recommends.

Duplicating here my reply about "1515151515151515" score from the original big thread:

@metalr

About the games reporting "1515151515151515" as a top score, can anyone give me a logfile from LaunchBox showing that it is what is displayed by hi2txt itself?

LaunchBox is logging hi2txt output and I would like to see one of them with this score... to be sure it is coming form here.

Currently, my best guess is: program finds a nvam/hi file, existing but locked or empty, so that a read() will return "-1", converted into 0xFFFFFFFF, converted again into decimal as "1515151515151515", letters by letters. So, a read file error.

I love such mystery :)
