General / Shared Highscores with friends
« on: March 08, 2016, 05:16:35 PM »
Hi, I was wondering if there is anything out there that can share highscore files with friends automatically and show it in the attract-mode frontend for the game. Would be great to see what my friends scores are.
Not sure on how hard this would be;
cab would need internet access
maybe mame versions need to be the same
Could upload to a shared dropbox and then to a folder named after the person
frontend skin would need to pull in the data and post the top scores with the persons folder/name
I remember seeing a project for this ages ago, maybe for hyperspin.
Anyway, just a thought.
Edit: Found the original project. Hasn't been updated in a while https://sourceforge.net/projects/hitotext/
Edit: Newer project found here http://greatstone.free.fr/hi2txt/index.html
