HiToText (Version 2010.11.4).
TheManuel:
I only learned about HiToText a few days ago and I'm loving it. This is a perfect example of people coming up with fresh and exciting ideas for, just when you think you've seen it all. It certainly keeps the hobby interesting.
I have a question:
I have a .hi file for galaga that was originally created with an older version of MAME (0.129). HiToText does not load the data from this file. If I create a new .hi file from scratch with that same MAME version, it reads it just fine. However, if leave in the old .hi file, run the game and let MAME overwrite the original file, I still see the high scores in MAME but HiToText still can't read it.
Is this a compatibility issue with my MAME version?
The puzzling part is that HiToText will read a .hi file that has been newly created with that same MAME version.
Regards.

Hi TheManuel,
Not sure why you're having those problems but HitoText can also write hiscores to .hi files.
If you write down your score from the old .hi and then create a totally new one with a newer version of mame you can write that score into the new .hi
You just have to use HitoText -w for it.....you can use the help command from (Hitotext -?) to see an example.
Hope this helps........
