This sucks...cuz I have a shitload of hiscores on .109u1 savestates.... I am deathly afraid to upgrade as i will lose the hiscores for sure...and I can't compile a 109u1 executable as I can't find a hiscore.diff that will work.

I have tried .108, .108u5, .110 and .111 and none work.

I have a build with .109u4 that supports hiscore.dat and kills the OK stuff if your interested.  PM Me.

Well...I bit the bullet and just upgraded to .111u1.   I found a .109u2 hiscore.diff file and compiled it...but evidently there was a change between .109u1 and .109u2 because my savestates from .109u1 wouldn't work with the recompiled .109u2. 

Bottom line is that I lost all my savestate hiscores.   Oh well.  I lost the scores but now hiscores are saved in MANY MANY MANY more games than the savestates...and thus far I have found that Donkey Kong no longer has a sound loop issue at the start of the game.

I took a step backward but 2 forward in my eye.

The fact I no longer have to be bothered with error screens is a bonus.
