Title: Is there a hiscore save for NES emulators?
Post by: Tiger-Heli on February 10, 2005, 07:22:52 am

I'm mainly looking for one for Tetris, but interested in others as well.

First off, I know most NES games did not save high scores, neither did Pac-Man or Donkey Kong in the arcade, but MAME can.

Thoughts - This would be easiest to implement in MESS.  Basically, someone just needs to write a hiscore.dat file with the appropriate values (AFAICT).  Has anyone looked into this.

Both VirtuaNes and FCE Ultra support cheat codes, so I would think these could be used to save and load a hi-score value from an external file.

Ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance!!!

wouldn't the easiest way just to do a save state before you close the app?

i beleive the save state is autoloaded when you run it again
