FBNeo high score saving trouble

[sirhenrythe5th]

just found another one: "Butasan" (Pigs & Bombers) from Jaleco / "butasan.zip".
One of my favorite hidden-gems, i would be very thankful if highscore-saving could be enabled as well.

"Extreme Downhill" ("extdwnhl.zip" / Driver "seta.ccp") did not save higscores yesterday after an update from source. Did you manage to have a look at this game?

Thanks a lot and kind regards!

Could support be added for tmht22pe please, it's the only turtles in time 2 player game that doesn't need coin b inserted for player 2! Thanks :)

[sirhenrythe5th]

@tommkell FYI: i mapped Coin1 to Coin4 to the Shoulder-Buttons of my Gamepad, just to be able to play the character of my choice.
Of Course a real cabinet with 4 coinslots would be much nicer, but it does the job for a quick turtles or simpsons brawling session :)

I'm on a 1 up modded cabinet with 1 coin door fitted, I don't have a select button for hotkeys etc either, makes it nice and simple, and toddler proof!

@sirhenrythe5th done for butasan.
it turns out extdwnhl doesn't work even with the hiscore support code, i'm guessing something isn't right in the seta driver (i'm only half surprised, we already had issues when adding hiscores for daioh - another seta game - last year).

@tommkell done for tmht22pe

[tommkell]

@barbudreadmon brilliant, thank you yet again :)

[sirhenrythe5th]

@barbudreadmon thank you very much for adding butasan and having a look at extreme downhill!

just to confirm: the new added Seibu-Shmups dont have hiscore-support as well at this point? I only tested "Raiden Fighters 2" yesterday and in this game the highscores were resetted to default after restarting the game.

No, but i just added it :)

[sirhenrythe5th]

@barbudreadmon gorgeous!, thank you once more !

[barbudreadmon]

@sirhenrythe5th extdwnhl should be ok now

[sirhenrythe5th]

@barbudreadmon wow, thank you so much! 👍

[tommkell]

Just came across another, zaxxon, can this be added please? Classic game too :)

[barbudreadmon]

@tommkell done :)

[tommkell]

Class, thanks @barbudreadmon

Here's an obscure one: Super Shanghai Dragon's Eye (World, bootleg) (sshanghab) Is it addable?

@barbudreadmon You are a machine! Thanks a lot. Is there something like a donation button somewhere for either you or the FBNeo project? I'm starting to feel like a freeloader more and more...

[barbudreadmon]

@weirdh thanks, but we don't accept donations, this is against our license. The best thing you can do to help us is to report issue whenever you find one :).

[WeirdH]

@barbudreadmon I think I found another one: fastlane

[barbudreadmon]

@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.
