Hello again!
Thanks to all the advice you guys have given me, I have set up an online scoreboard for my cabinet.
Its very primitive html right now, and I'm welcome to any help to develop it farther.
But here emulatron.zapto.org (http://emulatron.zapto.org) is the link, I'm just using a simple noip.com domain instead of buying one.
The process:
Made mame save highscores to dropbox
Had maximus arcade launch a bat at startup containing commands to delete the files, then write new .txt files off of the .hi files using HiToText
Linked the files (via dropbox) to the website.
Its a bit of a pain to add a new game, but it works!

EDIT: would like to thank CoryBee and Scott for helping me prevent viruses by connecting the cab to the internet, and just general help

I was trying to find your thread the other day to no avail.
Does your system show the scoreboard online? Or does it just save the .hi files to the dropbox?

I have it just save the .hi files to dropbox, then, on my web hosting computer, it links to the files that are in the dropbox

So no actual scoreboard? I will keep messing with the HitoText.

So no actual scoreboard? I will keep messing with the HitoText.

Can you explain how you went about this. A better interface for the site would do wonders and have the .txt file displayed as a page in itself instead of a link would look nice.

Yeah, I'm (semi) working on the interface
And I could only have it display directly on it if i had the files as .html files, but even then, the formatting would be screwed up, which is why I went with .txt on seperate links.
To write the files, just add a >>filenamehere.txt to then end of the command when u run HiToText via command line

Well, I just saw this "I would really appreciate it if you sent the code via PM. I do website design as well and could easily make something to house my projects.....but I wont turn down already finished works." - Cory Bee
On a different post,
If you wouldn't mind, I would love if you could rig up something simple for me...
Just anything better than What I have now XD
Don't bother yourself however, you have done a ton to help
