      I'll commit the outrun driver hiscore support later today.

      Hi, has this been committed yet? I just updated from source and Turbo Outrun still doesn't save score for me.

        @WeirdH nope, it appears toutrun emulation is a bit broken (it's what we call a "barry harris driver"), my PR is fixing hiscores in other games from the same driver though. Since i can't figure out what's wrong, dink told me he would take a look when he has time, but tbh it's low priority.

        digdug hiscores are fixed though.

          @barbudreadmon Alright, that's good to know. Thanks for replying and all the work is still very much appreciated! Also, I don't know who Barry Harris is.

            It's the former FBAlpha project member that decided to - illegally - license the emulator to Koch Media for the Capcom Home Arcade and caused all the other developers to fork the project as FBNeo.

              Ah, thanks for that! Google only turned up a 90 year old jazz pianist. :D

                @WeirdH we finally figured out the issue with the toutrun hiscores : for some reason, the second memory zone for this game (@:maincpu,program,60909,1,09,09) must be removed/commented from hiscore.dat. The hiscore i provide at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libretro/FBNeo/master/metadata/hiscore.dat has been updated & patched

                  @barbudreadmon Hey, I only just had the time to check it out. It works flawlessly, thanks a lot! Now if I could only improve my Outrunning skills to match...

                    Just noticed this for the first time, but am I correct in stating FBneo doesn't save hiscores for Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man?

                      No, those games should support hiscores.

                        @barbudreadmon Well, crap. Something is off then. Any idea what might be the cause? I only just copied over the .dat from your earlier post...

                          No, i just tested, it works for me. One thing that can throw off hiscores is readahead, maybe you enabled it for those games ?

                          NB : those games don't save name, only highest score to show it at the top

                            I know, but even those aren't saved.

                            Afaik I don't have runahead enabled. Is there anything in Retroarch or core options that could affect the functionality?

                                It appears I fixed it by using @grant2258's solution here.

                                It's honestly the third time this command has solved an FBneo issue for me, so I'm curious to what it actually removes (I know, I know, kudos on me for blindly following internet suggestions). Maybe there is some issue with my core-options file either way...

                                He states 'remove the fbneo entries from your core options and see if it helps'. The issues it already solved for me are:

                                • AB Cop glitching out after launch
                                • Turbo Outrun black screening after launch
                                • Pac-Man hiscore saving again

                                So what could the file contain that causes this unreliability in my system? Is FBneo going rogue with settings so that it needs periodical removal?

                                EDIT: just thought of this: I use this script with a generic button on GPIO pins, but it should be a safe shutdown. Could it be of influence on my settings?

                                  @WeirdH did you keep the file backed up that caused the issues would help try debug this random issue.

                                    @grant2258 I think this is the only backup of an earlier file I have. It should be the one that has hiscores not saving for both Pac-Mans.
