Fyrecrypts,
I don't know exactly when you deciphered it......
The last change (also affected nvram) is:
--- Quote ---0.130u3: Track & Field cleanups [Aaron Giles]: Derived clocks where possible. Complete memory maps from the schematics. Hooked up proper sound command latching. Reimplemented 6802-based ADPCM samples for the bootlegs. Merged memory maps. Extended NVRAM to the full RAM range (according to schematics). Created common include file and modified drivers to use it instead of explicit externs. Changed M6809 CPU1 clock speed to 1536000 Hz and VLM5030 to 3579545 Hz.
--- End quote ---
And 130u3 was in april 2009.
If you deciphered it before april 2009 then it could be the wrong data that's been extracted.

I deciphered it in February. I think I need to modify HiToText to check the MAME version and determine which format to decipher from. This'll be an interesting change.

As I am using mame 0.130 hi-patched with hyperspin I decided to take a look at it
Funny thing, I can read all of the records with hitotext -ra but they donŽt display in hyperspin !
So probably the change in 130u3 did alter the nvram adresses
WouldnŽt that be cool to have a mame version-independent hitotext.
Would be nice to have that for the hiscore.dat as well.
Mostly because of the name-changing but also for something like a driver rewrite perhaps. But maybe that last one doesnŽt happen very often (changes to the adresses because of a driver rewrite)
for instance
dkong:
standard: 0:6700:c8:00:00
-120: 0:6600:c8:00:00 for everything under 0.120
and mameversion rename in it to get the right locations
mame0.120
dkongjr = dkongjunior
Well IŽll just keep on dreaming :blah:

Hyperspin only sends the -r command to HiToText, it doesn't currently read all scores. I don't think any front end supports alternate scores yet actually. This is part of the reason why there are two separate commands actually, I didn't want the FE devs to have to rewrite anything, so -r acts just as it always has.
As for the hiscore.dat issue, I think that you could just continue to add clones to the code, so the game supported for dkongjr would look like this: m_gamesSupported = "dkongjr,dkngjnrb,dkngjnrj,dkongjre,dkongjunior";
Both the old name clone, and new name clone would both be supported, if the .hi file actually changed from one version to the next something like what I'm doing for Track and Field could be done as well. Different versions for different formats. This will be a cool change.

Within Hyperspin I get no score from track and field , not even the normal scores (-r)
Should that be working with the above explanation in mind ?
TIA,
