I totally agree that we should leave the hiscore.dat the way it is (leezer's version that is).
Just extract what we need and don't worry about extra data.
If we find an error (!) in an entry we could inform leezer and he could do the fix/update.
That way we don't get sidetracked by maintaining a hiscore.dat as well.
And for the scores.....all that is displayed in the game(s) is good enough for me.
Just as Wob said earlier if you're 11th and didn't make it to the first 10 you're not worth mentioning even if there is a (hidden) 11th place.

Keep up the good work.

We'll still be maintaining a hiscore.dat, since Leezer's version does not come out as often as HiToText (well, it might now). We also have entries that are already different. Leezer did not approve of the latest Phoenix changes, however I do like them. So some splitting is going to happen, and really isn't that big of a deal. I incorporate the changes Leezer makes so if you use HiToText, use the version of the hiscore.dat we put out. If you have old .hi files and you don't want to mess with adding them one by one in HiToText for the new version, use Leezer's version.
Edit: Also, thank you very much for all of your decoding dna disturber! I have a lot of catching up to do now though. Hehehe. Don't stop/slow though if you don't want to, one of us will get to it sooner or later. =)

(1944 ,1944j,1944d)
This was one #@$#@ tough cookie..to crack :dizzy:
This game has also nvram but everything we need can be found in the hi.
There are 5 things to extract:
1 scores
2 stagenrs. achieved
3 stagenrs. started from
4 destroy-rate
5 initials
Presenting to you the stars of this evening ..theeeee Bytesssssssss (yep .. I've lost it)
---------
00-03 highscore in game
04-07 number 1 score
08-11 number 2 score
...
...
40-43 number 10 score
---------
44-46 padding
---------
47 stage-nr. achieved number 1 - value in hex for instance 0ah = level 11 (00h=level 1)
48 started at stage-nr. number 1 - value in hex for instance 0bh = started at level 12 (00h=level 1) *** for continue buy-ins
49-50 padding
51 stage-nr. achieved number 2
52 started at stage-nr. number 2
53-54 padding
...
...
83 stage-nr. achieved number 10
84 started at stage-nr. number 10
---------
85-87 destroy-rate number 1 - each byte has 1 digit 100% would be 01 00 00 , 92% would be 00 09 02
88 padding
89-91 destroy-rate number 2
92 padding
...
...
121-123 destroy-rate number 10
---------
124 padding
---------
125 1st character of initials number 1
126 padding
127 2nd character of initials number 1
128 padding
129 3rd character of initials number 1
130 padding
131 1st character of initials number 2
132 padding
133 2nd character of initials number 2
134 padding
135 3rd character of initials number 2
136 padding
...
...
181 1st character of initials number 10
182 padding
183 2nd character of initials number 10
184 padding
185 3rd character of initials number 10
---------
The characters (you have to add 2 to get the next character starting with 00h):
00h = A
02h = B
..
32h = Z
Special characters:
34h = !
36h = &
38h = . (period)
3Ah = @ (at)
3Ch = (male icon)
3Eh = (female icon)
40h = (heartshape)
42h = (smilie)
44h = (space)
Hope you can understand all this....Had to shorten everything , but I hope you see the patterns correctly.

I can confirm the PHOENIX issue I reported above was rectified by deleting the Phoenix .hs file...

Great!! Remember that now, there is no need to start a new game to save the hi score.
