Title: [SOLVED] How to edit high scores?
Post by: scout43 on May 23, 2016, 08:29:05 AM

Is it possible to edit the high scores of my mame4all games? I am currently using Attract-mode with Emulationstation on a RaspberryPi 3.

I thought that maybe it had something to do with the .hi files.

Any input would be very helpful.

Hi,
I think this post is more suited to a MAME forum.

If you read the hiscore.dat file it says the below.

You can also read this post. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=51625.0
I haven't tried it, so sorry I can't give you any more tips.

;This file can be edited with a text editor, but keep the same format:
; all fields are separated by a colon (:)
; <gamename>:
; <cpu>:<address>:<length>:<value to wait for
; in the first byte/word>:<value to wait for in the last byte/word>
; [repeat the above as many times as necessary]

Thanks! I was able to figure it out with that article. I found the galaga.hi file and opened it with a hex editor. I changed the name from (MAA) or (16 0D 0D) to (MAT) (16 0D 1D). Thanks again!
