FBNeo high score saving trouble

@WeirdH Someone already reported this last year : https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/12596

[WeirdH]

@barbudreadmon Ahh, so now we wait... *touching fingertips while grinning maniacally

[WeirdH]

@barbudreadmon Found two more: blstroid (not a very good or fun game, but still) and blazeon.

EDIT: and a third: flytiger

"Space Invaders ´95" (TAITO) got retro-achievements yesterday.
While playing this gem i realized that i does not save highscores yet ;)

@WeirdH: i remember that "Blasteroids" was quite a hit when it was released as an arcade-conversation for CBMs Amiga & Atari STs in 88 or 89. It is not such a bad game, there are worse ones IMO :D

Taito F3 driver should be ok now

Edit: yeah, probably a retroarch bug, i can reproduce it, remapping L2 or R2 doesn't seem to work properly

Should I report this somewhere?

I believe retropie setup script doesn't allow updating to latest retroarch, but fwiw this bug was fixed yesterday.

Yeah, I remember playing it on MS-DOS and being blown away by the graphics. But it has an ever depleting energy bar that just kills the enjoyment for me.

Great, that's good to know. Will the setup script be updated to allow this later on, or can I update retroarch manually?

EDIT: found some fairly recent Reddit posts by @sleve_mcdichael suggesting it's not recommended and also a bit YMMV, so I'll refrain from manual tinkering.

@barbudreadmon Found another one: chqflag

[barbudreadmon]

@WeirdH support added

[sirhenrythe5th]

Is there support for the new CAVE1000-roms/driver?
At least "DoDonPachi Daifukkatsu" did not save highscores yesterday evening :)

[barbudreadmon]

@sirhenrythe5th Added, there is this note about cv1k in hiscore.dat :

;***** saves todays top scores (others are saved in nvram) ******

Not sure if it concerns all cv1k games or only the one listed right after the note (akatana)

[sirhenrythe5th]

To stay with cave: ddp3 / DoDonPachi 3 ;)
(i did not try the Black Label Edition)

@sirhenrythe5th done

[sirhenrythe5th]

@barbudreadmon thank you once more sir!

[WeirdH]

@sirhenrythe5th Want to test, but can't get a high enough score... :D

[sirhenrythe5th]

@WeirdH i had two tries this evening and no highscore as well :D

Hi barbudreadmon,

i played that game again yesterday and recognized something odd.
The highscore is saved indeed.
But it is only shown during gameplay/demomode between 1P & 2P-Scores.
In the Highscorelist the highscores stay on default :O

[barbudreadmon]

@sirhenrythe5th Hiscores are properly hooked in that driver so it might be normal ? Is it different in MAME ?
