      @barbudreadmon Found one more: Mystic Warriors (mystwarr.zip)

      Also, can I add an entry for bbakraid myself?

        Do you understand how those entries work ? If interested it seems there is a tutorial at https://highscore.mameworld.info/tutorial.htm

        Added support for mystwarr.

          Cool, thanks a lot.

          No, but I could try.

          Aaand both tutorials start with 'compile your own version of mame', so I'm already out. Wow, finding that hiscore information is not a hassle free process, to say the least...

            I think standalone mame now has debugger enabled in its binary releases, but i might be wrong.

              @WeirdH are you sure ? this one should save hiscores already

              edit : nvm, actually the game probably doesn't save hiscores, the hiscore support code is in FBNeo indeed, but there is no entry for this game in hiscore.dat

              Uhm, it does now...

              I decided to poke around in the test menu and saw some glitched characters where text should obviously be. I clicked on 'initialize eeprom' and had to confirm twice.

              After that, the text glitches were gone and it now seems to save scores. It does in 'training' mode at least, I haven't yet tried the others.

                @WeirdH ok, that means the highscore is probably saved in the eeprom, that's good to know

                  @barbudreadmon Found another one: Hotdog Storm (hotdogst)

                  I am on FBNeo 1.0.0.01 now, so I don't know if that requires an updated hiscore.dat as well?

                    Hmm no, i just confirmed that one's hiscores work properly.

                    I don't think so, i very rarely update FBNeo repo's hiscore.dat (the one i use for my tests), but maybe you picked yours elsewhere, or maybe yours is corrupted or something. It can't hurt to re-download the one from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libretro/FBNeo/master/metadata/hiscore.dat

                        I think Bomb Jack (bombjack.zip) doesn't save high scores in fbneo.

                            @barbudreadmon Thanks, that is weird, I'll do some more testing. I got the hiscore.dat from that very link, so hopefully it's still fine. I also don't use runahead.

                            EDIT: confirmed working here as well. I must've been doing something wrong again. Thanks for still replying, though!

                              I just added support for both.

                                  i found another game that does not save highscores (or better: lap-times in this case): "Extreme Downhill" (Sammy).
                                  I does under MAME, so saving works generally and its worth it, funny top-down-racer, great for best-time-hunting with friends :)

                                  btw: @barbudreadmon thanks for adding support for the SEIBU KAIHATSU Shmups!, awesome!!!

                                    While i help with debugging and small tasks, the new drivers are usually the work of iq_132 & dink, feel free to thank them at our forum :)

                                    I'll add hiscore support to our seta driver later today.

                                      You are right, i allready visit your/the FBNeo-Forum daily, so i really should register there, even if it is just to say thanks for all that work!

                                      But let me thank you at least once more for adding higscore-support to another game i like to play for scores :)

                                        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!

                                            @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 :)
