FBNeo high score saving trouble

WeirdH

@barbudreadmon I think I found another one: fastlane

@weirdh hmmm, i just put the hiscore support code for this one, however i'm wondering if it actually works, usually the emulator would let me know after it found the hiscore memory range (most of the time, during attract), but this game is telling me nothing, 3 possibilities :

it'll actually happen sometime later, maybe after you actually enter a hiscore ?
the addresses in hiscore.dat are actually wrong (it happens sometimes), so it can't find them
there is a bug in our hiscore feature

Please test again after updating, and let me know the result.

WeirdH

@barbudreadmon No luck. I set a score: after exiting and starting again, the game reverts back to the standard 20,000 score and names are also erased from the attract mode list.

barbudreadmon

@weirdh do you know if this game save hiscores in mame emulators ?

WeirdH

@barbudreadmon I currently use mame2003-plus for it and that does indeed save the scores. However, mame seems to have a semi-finished dipswitch implementation for the game, so that's another bit of weirdness going on there. But yeah, scores work.

@weirdh fastlane fixed, thanks again for letting me know !

WeirdH

@barbudreadmon Confirmed working, fantastic! Thank you once more for another fix.

WeirdH

@barbudreadmon Can't seem to get a score to stick in aliens. Is this correct or something on my end?

barbudreadmon

@weirdh support for aliens was missing, it should be ok now !

WeirdH

@barbudreadmon Thanks for the fix. Found yet another, I think: stmblade also not saving scores for me...

barbudreadmon

@weirdh it was missing too, support added

WeirdH

@barbudreadmon Fantastic, thank you.

WeirdH

@barbudreadmon Another one, probably: osman

barbudreadmon

@weirdh It was missing indeed, support added !

WeirdH

@barbudreadmon Another pretty obscure one: riskchal

barbudreadmon

@weirdh support added

Since this has become the 'official' topic for hiscore requests for FBNeo, I'll add one - Air Assault (Irem,1993 - romset airass) seems to have an entry in hiscore.dat, but hiscores don't seem to be implemented in the driver and are not saved.

barbudreadmon

@mitu done !

mitu

@barbudreadmon Thank you, now I can boast with my scores saved in this easy shmup (it's either very easy or I'm playing it on the lower difficulty).

WeirdH

@mitu Another one: zeroteam. It appears the game also suffers from some layers overlapping where they obviously shouldn't, so maybe it's not fully emulated yet? There is some information about the Seibu protection on http://adb.arcadeitalia.net.

This entry says 'preliminary', but both clones seems ok emulation wise.

EDIT: Just tested, and nzeroteam and zerotm2k also don't save scores for me.
