high scores
« on: May 07, 2011, 07:51:11 pm »
Any way to get high scores visible on the front end before entering the game....it would make it easier to see if anyone has beaten without entering all the games.  I am using mala but would switch for this capability

I have never heard of a frontend doing this.  Considering each game has a different format for its high score file, each game would have to be handled seperately.

Hyperspin can do this.  Check out HiToText I think.

I was wondering about this functionality as well.  Sure would be cool. 

I have never heard of a frontend doing this.  Considering each game has a different format for its high score file, each game would have to be handled seperately.

I'm running MALA, and I noticed that when I'm in the game selection screen, if I hit player 1 button #2 (can't remember which key this is mapped to), a high score screen pops up but it never contains any information.  Anybody have any idea what that is for?
