dna disturber:
Hi GreatStone,
Nice to see you working on this.
It's a nice feature and hopefully people can enjoy it again.
I saw a big percentage of games supported , does this mean all the code is already in from the old hitotext?
If not maybe there are a couple you can use in this thread.
I really enjoyed working on decoding the games, countless hours finding the right bytes and such.
Some were really tough to crack...
After hitotext i decided to make somewhat similar for pinmame.
Pinemhi and an online scoringboard as well (pinemhi leaderboard). Never would have existed without hitotext :applaud:
I left out the writing part to the nvrams , checksums are not my thing :'(
Luckily the roms and nvrams don't change very much with pinmame, as that was the biggest problem with hitotext.
With another mamerelease a number of games had to be fixed..
Keep up the great work , will surely be following your project (in this thread or another)
Dna Disturber :cheers:
-edit- i really need to change the percentages in my signature.... :)

Hello Dna Disturber,
> Nice to see you working on this.
Thanks! I have seen that you were a big contributor in the old hitotext. Perhaps you will join the new one, one day?
> I saw a big percentage of games supported , does this mean all the code is already in from the old hitotext?
All the games supported by the old hitotext have been ported, updated and tested versus mame 148/153, using the new proposed XML format.
No code has been used from hitotext in the new tool, and all hard-coded parts have been also migrated into the new XML format, providing something -I hope- flexible enough to handle any situation.
> Pinemhi and an online scoringboard as well (pinemhi leaderboard)
I am still dreaming about a mame leaderboard, allowing to easily share at least scores with a group of friends...
> Keep up the great work , will surely be following your project (in this thread or another)
I have also dropped the 'write' feature of the old tool, mainly because checksum reverse engineering will take me too much time. If I want this project to be sustainable, I should have a raisonnable target first :)
Again, seeing your past involvment, feel free to give some help if such stuff still motivates you, obviously.
Best regards,
G.
