The problem with high scores is that the high scores are saved differently depending upon the game. Some are in .nv files, some in .hi files, some in both (like centiped). Also the way each high score file is organized is different between games. Yes some games are saved the same way as others that are in the same family but that still leaves tons of different high score formats.

: I got my PS2 (no flames from fanboys pls!)

: I have a question for the FE writers. Is support to output high scores/game stats to a file or the serial port so I can hook up an lcd or led display. I think it would be cool to have a scrolling marquee w/ that info on it. Maybe you could have the FE "copy" the info to another file each time a game is initiallized, then have the info read by a device hooked up to the serial port.

: If its already been done, let me know. The only thing I similar I read was about daphne that had a HUD/banner of some sort.

: Enjoy your holiday...I am at work :(
