Something like "HiToText -read [ROM]" to display the hiscore table and "HiToText -write [ROM] [RANK] [SCORE] [NAME]"?

Yeah, this should actually be pretty easy given the way saving scores is called with a generic method that accepts a string array just like command arguments, I can probably squeeze this in tomorrow night.

Fyrecrypts:
New HiToText updated with the suggestions from Headkaze.

Syntax is: HiToText [-r|-w|-f] [filename] [score, name, etc... whatever a -f says, delimited by spaces]

-r reads the file, sends it to standard out.
-f tells you the format used for writing to the file.
-w writes to the .hi file.

There's no real error checking done here, but it works if the parameters are correct.

headkaze:
Hey Fyrecrypts I've added some error checking so it will fail in most cases with a proper error message.

It's coming along really nicely I must say, great work guys :)

Fyrecrypts:
Very nice, I'll include those in my next update. Thank you.

Next update will also include a fix in the hiscore.dat table for xmen (Was missing stage reached byte for the 10th highest score for Cyclops), and I guess I'll do some version control with it as well. I'll probably also throw in the dkongjr fix.

Fyrecrypts:
Quick note, I've made a loading screen, as HiScanner now takes a little while to get some information from MAME.

I am terrible with photoshop, but I would love if someone who is artistic would be willing to create a nice little loading image that could be used.

Two things to know about this, I am not set on any particular image size, I'd rather it be less than 640x480, and there will be a progress bar that will take up at least some portion of the screen, I suppose someone could incorporate this into the image if they want.

Of course, I'll give you credit in HiScanner.
