Uploaded new versions, now we have something like 18 games or so figured out. I've also done some more work on the "kong" games: dkong, dkongjr, and ckong. I figured out the score is also stored in a short reverse byte form, so I've added that.
Donkey Kong Jr looks wrong in the hiscore.dat file, and I'm thinking of fixing it. For the first score it's missing the first 5 bytes that scores 2-5 have, and the 5th score is missing 7 bytes after the 5 unused bytes after the name, which includes the short score, so I'm tempted to fix it in the hiscore.dat file.

now that's interesting and something I'd never even considered, that the data we're handed from hiscore.dat might also be wrong. ouch. garbage in, garbage out.
Good job!
I'll likely have a moment to decode a couple more this weekend.

Little update for anyone watching this thread (might just be you NOP. ;) )
I've added a few more games: Raiden, Marble Madness, Wonder Boy 3. I discovered a few bugs here and there that I'm still in the process of fixing, I want to add catlist.ini support, and I would like to overhaul the UI a little bit more.
Not sure how long I'll be putting up the source as it just seems to be a waste of time, so I might just put up the executables, I'm not really sure.
BTW, Marble Madness name/score format is weird...
headkaze:
There are people watching this thread (in fact I was looking at it earlier today just didn't post) and there are people interested in using the source code so please keep posting it and keep the project going.
I might be able to get that webspace afterall, I was talking about it this morning. I'll PM you with more info when I get it.
Fyrecrypts:
Oh good, as long as it's useful.
I'll throw up the updates when I feel I'm at a reasonable bug-free point.
