Fbneo does not save ghost 'n goblins hiscores

mitu

Hm, it seems the hiscore is not saved indeed. The gng ROM seems to have hiscore support (https://github.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo/blob/834bbf29a93251d75b0c96426a197952e29ba814/src/burn/drv/pre90s/d_gng.cpp#L829) and I remember at one point (18 months ago ?) I reported a bug with hiscore not saving, which was promptly fixed.

I can't remember if I played the gng ROM or gngt (USA version). I see the gng driver got some changes recently, maybe that affected the hiscores.

Also, I see there's a bootleg with increased difficulty - WHO WOULD WANT THAT ?

EDIT: I'll try with gngt later to see if's working.

Superhuman dink (FBNeo dev) can 1up gng consistently.

This is a bit of a weird issue, i can confirm the stuff for hiscores is properly implemented in those 2 drivers.
Someone can confirm it's also broken in ghouls ? Actually it's a cps1 game and i remember implementing and testing hiscores in this driver myself.

@barbudreadmon Hm, looking at your other post in a recent topic, I see that 3 July is a bad day for lr-fbneo - this is when the binary was built. I'll try to update from source and check out also ghouls while re-testing gng.

barbudreadmon

gng's hiscores are fixed.
Maybe the bug from 3 of July could explain the issue with ghouls, it was a bug with my arm's custom m68k intf (https://github.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo/issues/62) : i haven't tried scoring with this one, but at the very least it's properly creating ghouls.hi. Considering the number of games using m68k, i recommend to bump your binary to latest commit asap.

@barbudreadmon I re-install from source earlier this morning and the scores didn't save, but now if I try to update from source I get an error during compilation

[...]

I noticed also that ghouls.hi is created inside $CONTENT_DIR/fbneo, I didn't manage to get a hiscore yet :).

@mitu sorry about that, the build issue should be fixed

I don't think ghosts n goblins needs that emulator, it works perfectly fine on mame2003. In which case it just saves the files into the hi folder.

barbudreadmon

@ballboff idk how gng fares in mame2003, but it is a known fact that FBNeo is generally more accurate than old MAME cores, maybe that's what @kmi is seeking.

mitu

@barbudreadmon I'll give it a shot this evening, thank you !
@kmi Can you try updating from source now the lr-fbneo package and check if your hiscores are saved ?

mitu

All fixed now, thanks @barbudreadmon. Hiscores are saved ok.

kmi

Thank you very much @barbudreadmon and @mitu the game now creates the gng.hi and correctly saves the hiscores.
