Title: OH NO!! Galaga only has garbled highscore text?!?!?
Post by: AE35 on July 14, 2006, 02:42:27 am

Hi all! :hissy:

I wanted to play a quick game of Galaga this morning before leaving for
work. I've recently fought with a friend about getting the highest score,
and I 'm happy to say that I got it!

But this morning, everything looked normal in Galaga, but the hiscores
are just funny symbols and garbled text!! All other text is normal!!

Any idea what could be wrong? something with the hiscore file? I CAN'T
LOSE MY HISCORE!!!! :cry:

Thanks!

I just replaced the file in the HI folder, and now it works again.

Without the old scores. How can a files go bad??

At the same time, the scores for puzz loop dissapeared, but not the
other games. Commando say Highscore 91000 at the top, but when it
swaps to the main list during attractmode, it says 75000 at first place
(which is correctly put, since it's mine)...but no mention of the 91000 from the
former screen.

I think this is very bad. If there's too much problems with the hiscores, it
really takes the fun away from my machines....
