      Hello again @barbudreadmon , could you enable hi scores for wonder boy (wboy) please. Got my arcade cabinet working perfect apart from a few hi score saving issues! Thanks

        Also is there a better way I can report these hi score issues? Or even do something about them myself?? Don't wanna unnecessarily hassle you with this

          @tommkell fwiw, this is what a commit to add support looks like : https://github.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo/commit/16787af03856c5b453eecb6bb369b00cdc7cb684

          Several things to consider :

          • making sure the game(s) actually exist(s) in hiscore.dat
          • locating the source file(s) associated with the game(s)
          • adding BDF_HISCORE_SUPPORTED to the BurnDriver struct(s) associated with the game(s)
          • locating the ____DoReset function(s) associated with the game(s), and adding HiscoreReset(); just before returning 0.

            The game is supported in hiscore.dat but that's as far as I can go atm, I literally know nothing about coding! I tried the game in mame2003 but it doesn't run as nice, although it is saving hi scores

                Fantastic :) I'll update from source again and try and educate myself on the issue. Just out of curiosity, is it that fbneo is relatively new so it's just a matter of time to get all games hi scores supported?

                  @tommkell fbneo is new but the underlying code (fba) is ~20 years old in parts. an explanation of the problem with automatically adding it is here: https://github.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo/issues/378#issuecomment-643835253

                  as you can see, a solution was proposed to make support automatic, but nothing has happened as yet. currently it's a manual process to add support.

                    Ah ok, thanks for the reply and good to know it's fixable. Is it ok to request added support for games here then, if we come across any more?

                      Hi all, I've come across a few more games that aren't saving hi scores for me(chasehq, tmht2p, tmnt22pu and simpsons2p2)
                      Could support for these be added? Thanks for your patience :) Tom
