Highscore to .txt converter?
« on: August 27, 2013, 08:49:16 pm »
Hello!
I have decided to try to make an online scoreboard for certain mame games.
My problem is that I need the data in a txt file rather than a .hi file
I have found http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=83614.0
But the problem is is that It only shows the output, and does not write it anywhere.
As well as it doesn't seem to be able to run via command line, is only command line based.
Also, it cannot convert mass files

I guess what I'm really asking is,
does anyone know of/can modify HitoTxt so that it can process multiple files via a command or simple .exe (So I could run it at startup) and save the files as txts somewhere?

I know it may be a lot, but I would be eternally grateful



-ice

I'll make sure to report back!

You can use stdout from the commandline.
Use the hitotext command and put >>hiscore.txt behind it (you can put in another directory or any name that you want)
You can even make a batchfile so that you can do it for all .hi that you have

 :cheers:

Hitotext can be used using the commandline btw.
