Does this exist? I have a 29-1 board and it only keeps the top score AND it doesn't even save the initials of the record holder. Gotta keep all of the high scores... Would be much better for bragging rights and it's nice to see all the high scores.

Does it exist? Yes.
Can we tell you where/how to find one without violating Rule 5 (http://arcadecontrols.com/arcade_message_rules.html)? No.

All the iCade (60-in-1 or 19-in-1) boards I have, and have seen, are limited as you describe - saving only the top score without the initials.
The PC-based Redbox boards does have this functionality, but I can't tell if the newer xxxx-in-1 does or not.
-
The game elf boards are capable of saving high scores but need to be modded.
-
ArcadeSD does, but it is more $$$ than 60-1.
-
the vertical 60-in-1 has a dip switch you can set to enable high score save. it's disabled by default.

Yeah ArcadeSD is a little out of the budget at the moment. Neat concept though - does it work well?
Lilshawn, I think those only save the top high score and doesn't even save the initials. I think part of the fun would be able to see the top score and those who tried to get there, but just missed out (or who were leapfrogged). Am i incorrect about this? Maybe there is a different version out with the dipswitch?
Anyway, thanks for the info, guys. I looked at some of the mods that people are doing and it is way above my skill level. And, I think since they are likely not completely legal, I can blame it on that as well. :-)

You are correct. If the dip sw 3 is enabled, 60-in-1 keeps the high score, not the initials, or any other scores in a score table.
Once you've purchased a xx-in1 board is it important whether it's legal to mod a board that contains illegal copies of ROMs.

Haha thanks behmer, I just said that because I was reprimanded for inquiring about this. The truth is that I'm not smart enough and don't have the tools like a Linux computer.
