Gameex seems to count the plays, because it has a list of popular games.

I don't think people are checking BYOAC competition scores on their phones at two in the morning.

I have no idea what are you talking about. I am talking about how to avoid any "checking" and make it all automatic, make it all happen right on your cabinet from within MAME (frontend), without using another computer, internet browser or even keyboard.

Imagine whenever you turn on your cabinet and start some game you are able to see all the current hi-scores from the whole community right there in the game itself, just like you can see your own records now. It would be like everyone is playing one a single "public machine", and just as if you walked into actual arcade there will always be possibility someone have beaten your record or set new hi-score while your were away.

Cross-platform front-end with database driven multithreaded SSL engine for the server.  But I'm way lit off booze atm....and it's time to watch Aliens HD louder than is sensible.   :laugh:

something parses log files, or run time instances, or whatever to determine what games i've played, sends that play count to a server, then spits back out a list file for my front end (hyperspin, mala, maximus, atmoic, flat xml, whatever) of the popular games this week, month, etc. Maybe even other lists like 'Games played by less than 3 people' or something.

That way I'd always have a list of new games to try.

It's been awhile since I followed the updates, but I think GameEx does that.
