I suppose I can say a little. GHOST is like an evolved HiScanner. For those who may not remember, HiScanner enabled hi scores to be shared online, so your buddy could beat your Pacman score in Finland, and I, in Oregon, could see his score, and try and beat it myself. HiScanner, while good on paper, failed. It was too difficult to install, and frankly it was far too easy for people to cheat. GHOST takes care of both of these problems (mostly).
GHOST requires a simple online registration at our site: www.arcadehiscore.com (You can't register here, but you can see actual submitted scores.) Then you download GHOST and away you go, pretty painlessly. We hinder cheating, but haven't been able to completely stop it yet. We're close. I can't exactly say how we do it yet though. A little too early to say.
There's much more to GHOST, however it's in such an early stage I don't want to reveal too much that may change, or may be impossible. =D

Sounds awesome Fyrecrypts.
Any chance any of these options will be available:
Produce a high score table where no initials are included twice.
Have the ability to form your own group, where just you and your friends can combine high score tables.
Thanks.

I hadn't thought of the first option, however it's a great idea, and I'll implement it! So it will be available!
The second option is something I've thought about, and is deeply ingrained into what GHOST is. You can create any number of groups, and invite any number of people. While using GHOST you can tell it which groups' scores you wish to see, and it will only pull down scores from people in those groups. Scores are attached to people, so if you left a group, scores you made would no longer be seen by anyone else pulling scores from that group. Group creation is something I'm working on now actually and will be in the next iteration of the Alpha.

Excellent.
MKChamp:
I figured I'd post here since there is a lot of work also done to get the hiscore.dat file in shape. I made a change to the hiscore.c file to get the cinemat.c games working. Not sure how much of an interest there is to get those supported, but they work now with the current hiscore.dat file. I re-uploaded hi_133 with the change...
Great work, btw!
