OK...I'll shut up now. I figured my request was lost amongst the responses above...
Thank you BTW.

Hahaha, I'm not a mamedev, you don't have to tiptoe around me. =D
I actually thought about posting a reply, but since I hadn't found it yet, I figured it wasn't worth a post. And no worries, I'm happy people are interested in the project and really, providing games that aren't in the hiscore.dat that someone actually plays is helping to enhance it. By posting requests, you're actually contributing. Otherwise I'm just left to choosing games I enjoy, and miss some gems that other's know about.

You don't have any idea the floodgate you just opened... do ya? :)
I'm happy to "contribute" whenever I can.

Sorry, but puzzloop and puzzloop2 are included in the hiscore.dat, and they saves correctly. You only must follow the instructions for puzzloop2. In this game, the hiscore table is generated the first time is going to be showed. Then, the hiscore data is changed with the data of the pzloop2.hi.
No special instructions for puzzloop.

Strange... my HS works but PL and PL2 don't. I guess I will go in and delete the .HS files (if they are there).
Now what I don't understand is your instructions for PL2...
"The highscore table is generated the first time is going to be showed. Then, the highscore data is changed with the data of the pzloop2.hi"
I'm not quite picking those sentences up. Can you please reiterate?
EDIT: After deleting the .hi file, PuzzLoop is working. When i have a chance I'll have to go searching through the highscore.dat file to find the instructions I assume are there for PuzzLoop 2. I do apologize for the wild goose chase and I will make sure to CHECK the freakin' .DAT file instead of relying on whether a game is saving HS or not as proof positive it's included or not.
My bad 100%.
:(
EDIT #2: I just checked the latest hiscore.dat (i believe it is) and this is what I found RE: Puzz Loop 2:

I will have to try this... now I wonder if they mean at boot up, or after a high score is achieved, the next game is not to start until the HS table is displayed?

Yes, only at boot up. Each time you load the roms (of this game) from mame, the hiscore table is 'loaded' into memory only when it is going to be displayed for the first time. After loaded, the data is overwritten with the data of the hi file.
After that, you can play normally.
