Scores file overwritten #1

Closed AkBKukU closed 1 year ago

Scores are stored in two different locations which are mapped in the code. The difference between these is not known, but two CSV files should be made for them. The code currently writes one, then overwrites it with the other.

These may be two different locations to store local and networked times, more testing will be needed to determine this.

Solved, the two data blocks alternate writing to ensure one is valid if the machine is shut off while writing to the HDD. One will be newer but even when writing race times the game writes so much audit data the difference between the two is minimal. A --block parameter has been added to the tool to allow choosing which block to work if the user wants to pick one.
