FBNeo - Working games hi-score list ?

robbi3j

Hi - for latest FBneo is there a list of games that have hi-score functionality enabled -

I've been trying to weeks to get track and field and hypersports HI-scores saving with no luck

most of my games save hi-scores and i have the latest hiscore.dat file in the correct location

Also performed the whole DIP switch pieces of set to reset on reset - then set not to reset - still no luck

the reset does generate me some default world records - but still does not save scores :(

I'm assuming its not enabled ? - is there a list of enabled ones anywhere - i have been looking with no joy

No. Also, our emulator is named FBNeo, please don't butcher its name.

Games that don't appear in hiscore.dat (like those 2) usually won't save hiscores, however in this case i think hiscores could actually be saved through their eeproms, so i'll look into this.

@barbudreadmon ooops I do apologise on the name front (I'll edit as much as a can to rectify ) - and thankyou very much for looking into this, that is very much appreciated !

@robbi3j the fix is on git, please update from sources and let me know if it did the trick.

robbi3j

@barbudreadmon you are the man - Im at work atm but will check later and feedback !

robbi3j

@robbi3j Yep fixed - thankyou v. much ! so fast !

barbudreadmon

@robbi3j i'm glad it worked, i wasn't sure because not every games save hiscores in their eeproms

robbi3j

@barbudreadmon - Thought I better feed this back - this does seem to have created a slight issue with track and field that - so ... when asking retroarch to reset the console & game - the game gets stuck with partial reset and partial continue ( half of the running game graphics show through the initial rom test graphic ) and the game doesn't actually reset - this doesn't bother me as I rarely use the reset option from the quick menu in retroarch ( I always quit the emulator and re-load ) - Just FYI

@robbi3j Thanks for the report, i'll look into this

barbudreadmon

@robbi3j it turns out this game is also using its eeprom as an additional ram, so the fix here was to stop saving/loading eeprom at reset (which should be perfectly fine, saving eeprom should only be required when exiting the game).

@barbudreadmon Great stuff thank you !
