Title: High score saving in Metal Slug games
Post by: ClessxAlghazanth on June 06, 2021, 09:11:22 PM
Hi

I've been having trouble getting my hiscores saved in Metal Slug & Metal Slug 3

They seem to get resetted every time I close the games (no.hi files are created in hiscores folder)

Other MS games I play (2 & X) remember the scores without issues (.hi files are created and get updated normally)

I am on the latest WIP build

Is it normal or is there a setting for it ?

Thanks and best regards  ;p

It turns out only Metal Slug 2 and X have entries in hiscore.dat (the latest one by Leezer). 
At this point only those 2 metal slug games can save hiscores.

hi files are only created when the game exists in hiscore.dat.
iirc most neogeo games are supposed to support hiscore saving through their eeprom instead, however i think that support might also depend on selected bios.

Edit : i confirm Metal Slug 1 is properly saving hiscores in eeprom for me, i'm using "MVS Asia/Europe ver. 6 (1 slot)" bios, if you are using another bios then i would expect that bios is somehow missing the hiscore-in-eeprom feature.
