is there a way of editing hi score dat so that i can have my name & an unbeatable score. i remember back in the days of c64 using an expert cartridge to look for the hi score code then altering the 1s & 0s. thanks for any info

None for now. If something is needed ask and if it's possible and not excessively complex, I can add it.

Well actually,

the only feature i can think of right now is for games that put the hiscore data into memory, then for whatever reason wipe it and write it back again seconds later, so to get round this i troll thru memory looking for some kind of timer that is displaying a number after the hiscore data has been written again.

It would be usefull to have a command in hiscore.dat that would not trigger the .dat files data overwriting the games data for say "X" amount of seconds to save having to look for any in game timer. (this feature should be OFF by default btw.)

for example:-

;(cheeky mouse)
cheekyms:
@:maincpu,program,3009,9,00,00
@:maincpu,program,3014,1,36,36 (this is the timer)


could become :-

;(cheeky mouse)
cheekyms:
@:maincpu,program,3009,9,00,00
@:timer 3 (write data 3 seconds after game has started/initilized)



Anyway thamks

Okay "@delay=n" will delay n seconds after the game starts before loading in the score data. Be a bit careful as the resolution is just one second so if delay is 3 sec but the wait time is actually 2.5 sec it could load too early so you'd have to set the delay to at least 4 sec. Scratch that, it supports subsecond accuracy now.

Thats great,

so to get this correct in my mind,

;(cheeky mouse)
cheekyms:
@:maincpu,program,3009,9,00,00
@delay=3

is this correct ?

I also assume the @delay=n will not work untill next mame release


many thanks
Lee

Yup, fractional delays also work (@delay=2.5 etc...). It'll work fine with the last version, just get https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mamede...iscore/init.lua and drop it in your plugins/hiscore dir.
