MAME 2010 High Scores?

Alturis

@markwkidd Awesome! Do you still have a short list of things we should hold off on before we make the switch?

As far as I know there is only one reason to wait: There are at least a few games which are segfaulting now after the directory relocation project. Or more precisely after the new code was introduced for the new directories.

How one could cause the other is beyond me, but I am working on it. It may take some time. I've started a github issue to track this: https://github.com/libretro/mame2010-libretro/issues/101

To put it another way, there are hopefully many more games that are not going to crash because of the directory issue but it's still early in testing.

The only other major change I'm planning to implement soon is 4-player support. Other than that I'm just looking for the one bug we know of and anything else that crops up as result of my updates. :)

You're really whipping 2010 into fighting condition. Well done, sir!

After you say such a nice thing I hate to report that Gorf does not seem to be saving hiscores despite its entry in hiscore.dat. Maybe there is a fix or update that can be applied for Gorf though. Hope springs.

See, now we can't be friends anymore. In fact, according to internet law, I'm now required to claim that you're worse than Hitler. All kidding aside, I'm just glad we have a core that'll run the game with the voice samples. Keep up the great work. It's much appreciated.

I'm not positive what this comment in hiscore.dat means, but I have a feeling it might be related to the Gorf issue:

gorf: ;* resetting screws up 2 scores and top score

I checked the MAME 2003, MAME 2014, and MAME 2016 hiscore.dat but they're using the same hiscore memory map. :(

So 2010 is the odd duck doing it different?

Sorry, I meant that MAME 2003, 2010, 2014, and 2016 all have the same Gorf hiscore memory map with the same comment about resetting.

Very strange. If you can think of any way for me to help test or troubleshoot let me know.
