Renegade not saving high scores even though it’s listed in the hiscore.dat file #973

Closed Phill2cb closed 2 years ago

Phill2cb commented 2 years ago

I can’t get the High Scores to save on Renegade which is using FB Neo on a RetroPie. I’ve noticed a few other games I’ve played through FbNeo have the High Score option under Quick Menu - Options, however Renegade does not have this option. 164EF4CF-82D3-423E-A437-A991AFBB2BA8

• My Directory is set up to RetroPie/BIOS BB348D8C-74D8-4716-A77B-FFB65CEE372E

• I see Renegade listed in the hiscore.dat file which is in RetroPie/BIOS/fbneo 0E65EBB6-ED1E-4380-9D93-5DB6FD6E9F35

• Renegade is under RetroPie/ROMS/Arcade A0D9895E-F5E7-48DB-AB86-91A5249AB2CF

• I see .hi files under RetroPie/ROMS/Arcade/fbneo but no .hi files for Renegade 8F037A66-5789-48A6-90B1-1D260837A9D8

Thanks for the report ! No need for the many screenshots, as said at https://github.com/libretro/FBNeo/tree/master/src/burner/libretro#hiscore-wont-save-why- it's a pretty common thing and you just need to let me know. The fix is on git, closing.

Edit : btw, there is a retropie topic you can use to let me know of those issues : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/25014/fbneo-high-score-saving-trouble

@barbudreadmon i appreciate the help. As this is all very new to me, I’m not sure where to go to on Git and what to do from there. Do I need to update the high score file or the game file?

barbudreadmon commented 2 years ago

you need to update your core from sources, using retropie-setup script

@barbudreadmon Thanks, confirmed working on my side.

The only thing I noticed is that each time I load up the game, the first time I save a high score does not save the Initials I put in and shows as 3 blank spots. Every new score after that maintains the inputted initials.

I'm not sure, some games have weird behavior and require extra steps before hiscores save properly. Games that didn't save hiscores in some kind of nvram/eeprom (like this one) were meant to lose hiscores when powering them off, this method of extracting/injecting hiscores by using addresses from hiscore.dat is a hack, and shouldn't be considered failsafe imho.
