Hi RetroBorg,
Nice to see that you're joining the deciphering disco. :applaud:

You've got the scores covered.... score number 1 was a typo probably.
That should be 0-2 (3 bytes for each score).
You've got the characters (alphabet) right.
Although there is one other character, when you get a hiscore and enter only 1 or 2 initial(s) and let the timer run out , the ones not entered get filled with a (space) that's 20 in Hex.
You only forgot to mention where the adresses are for the initials, they are right behind the scores :
03-05 Initials number 1
09-b Initials number 2
etc.
When all that typing is becoming a bit annoying here is a little tip
If there is a recognizable pattern you can short things , for instance with the alphabet
A 41
B 42
..
..
Z 5A
And you can do the same for the locations of the bytes:
00-02 score number 1
03-05 initials number 1
06-08 score number 2
09-0b initials number 2
...
...
36-38 score number 10
39-3b initals number 10
Great work.
Soon you can admire your own work when this gets implemented in HiToText :cheers:
I'm curious what your next game will be :)
P.S. I put it on the HiToText spreadsheet

Thanks dna disturber for your tips, that's exactly what I needed.
I was going to do River Patrol (rpatrolo) next but I can't seem to get high scores to save for that game even though it's supported in highscore.dat. Does anybody else have that trouble?
As far as what other games I might do, I hadn't given it too much thought. I've made a few themes for HyperSpin so I might go through and see which one of them don't have HiToText support yet and do those.
Here's a link to my themes: http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/album.php?albumid=23
I guess other than that, any favourites I play that aren't supported yet as well, I prefer old school games, early to mid eighties.

Dude , you rock.... :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
Definitely recognize the themes ;D.....awesome work !
A lot of people see those every time they want to play a game :cheers:
By the way River patrol was renamed:
0.122u8: River Patrol (Orca) is now the parent set. Renamed (rpatrolo) to (rpatrol).
So if you rename rpatrolo to rpatrol in hiscore.dat then the Hi will be created.
I will put this one in the bug-report so that with the next release the hiscore.dat will have that gamename as well (we'll want to keep rpatrolo as well for the people that use a mame before 0.122u8
I found the rename info on http://maws.mameworld.info/maws/ (every info on the games you can find here)
Have fun deciphering this one :dizzy:

Thanks for the info on River Patrol, I was getting frustrated that my scores weren't saving.
I'll give it a go.
