I don't think people are checking BYOAC competition scores on their phones at two in the morning.

Lol, I just read the current high score thread.

Sent from my phone at 11pm.

My main problem with this,  is that i am not very good at video games  ;D Meaning that quickly I will just see an unreachable top 10 (more or less depending on the games) of people I don't know.

It would be nice to have a server that gather high scores from everybody, extract the scores (with hitotext for instance) and put it in an online database. Like that I would see that I am ranked 92 over 200 people at donkey kong for instance. I would keep my local hiscore.  It would also be possible to have ranking by countries or access this ranking from the frontend.

I've been contemplating doing sumthing like this today.  The HyperSpin/HyperScore boys have no interest in Mac or Linux so I'm pondering the feasibility of one that does all three os's on my own.  My webdesign sucks though.   :laugh:

I would be much more interested in a system that generates game lists based on 'what's popular' among people participating...

something parses log files, or run time instances, or whatever to determine what games i've played, sends that play count to a server, then spits back out a list file for my front end (hyperspin, mala, maximus, atmoic, flat xml, whatever) of the popular games this week, month, etc. Maybe even other lists like 'Games played by less than 3 people' or something.

That way I'd always have a list of new games to try.

My Mame systems are closed systems. They do not require Microsoft updates, antivirus updates, etc. This means the system is more stable than a system that is constantly randomly adding updated software. If I allowed an internet connection, I would have to worry about malware, worms, viruses, etc.
