HiToText (Version 2010.11.4).
headkaze:
Does anyone know what version of MAME the hiscore.dat generated using hiscore.dat-astic is based on? It doesn't actually say in the file what version.

I believe I stopped development after 0.139.
Edit:
I very much enjoyed working on this project, but as time went on my interest faded, and the work became repetitive. After having my second child, taking on new responsibilities at work, and a separate project taking over my interest I decided to put HiToText on the back burner. Fast forward to now, and I have a new and more demanding job, a third kid, and that side project I'm working on has blown up within that community and taken over what little spare time I actually still have. My interest in MAME has waned severely as well, which hasn't helped.
I would like to apologize for not giving any updates or information for the past few years, and honestly, I didn't really know it was missed. It's such a small drop in the vast MAME community bucket, and everything was open-sourced (free-sourced, you can even make commercial projects out of the code if you wanted) I kind of assumed people would use it and augment it how they needed, or continue to contribute to the hiscore.dat and HiToText.xml file. If I've forgotten some piece of code, I do still have all my older project folders and stuff in the cloud, but I'm fairly sure it's all there on sourceforge or even the arcadecontrols forum link. Should have everything.
Sorry all, but I don't have plans to continue working on HiToText, and I'm sorry for not informing everyone at the time of my decision years ago. =(

thanks so much Fyrecrypts. Does anyone have the know how and time to resume development and start this back up?
Funkoid:
I'd love to see support for this project continue, its a great little app and has some seriously useful features. Maybe we should get the ball rolling with more supported games first though?
Edit - Am I correct in saying that as the rom files change per version of mame the hitotext application would need updating or are we only talking adding things into the XML file?
GreatStone:
Hi guys,
I am currently spending some time on hitotext to decode high-score files as text.
I am rewriting it from scratch (code+xml+mame 0.153 compatibility=>"new" hi2txt utility), as a hobby and for my personal purpose (learning Java, XML modelization, manipulations at byte level), as it seems to be no more maintained.
I am sharing it now, as perhaps it can raise some interest for other people.
Feel free to use it, read the doc, give some improvements idea: contributions to add more games are also are welcome! :)
Huge thanks for Fyrecrypts and all contributors of original hitotext!
Note: perhaps I need to make a new thread as this one is somewhat old?
