Actually GameEx already has the ability to display hiscores just like CPWizard using HiToText. I could knock up a plugin to do this actually. It wouldn't be perfect but the way it would work would be using an FTP when you run a game download the .hi file for it and then when you exit the game upload it again. I'll see what I can knock up.

Ok guys with the help of Adultery here is the release of the Gameroom theme. Enjoy everybody and Happy Holidays!!!

I think you need to point the emulator at the game backgrounds folder.

Yes we are at the mercy of HiToText to display hiscores in GameEx but is shouldn't effect the sharing of them. HiToText uses an xml file for encoding and decoding each game's hi file so in theory anyone can still add games without needing to recompile HiToText. Okay I've finished the plugin and am just waiting on Tom to give me a special FTP area for sharing the hi files. There are some issues using the plugin and because of that I will say "use it at your own risk". If you're worried about losing your hiscore don't bother using this plugin. - Because it just downloads the .hi when you start the game and uploads when you finish, it will overwrite any hi file you have. If you both play the same game at the same time the last one to exit will overwrite the hiscore table. Sorry but I did say it wouldn't be perfect. - You can't stop people cheating and editing hi files and uploading. This is why we can't take this feature too seriously anyway. - Different versions of MAME mean different versions of .hi files. So there may be compatibility problems with people running different versions of MAME. I will release the source code so others can improve on it. Perhaps someone else can fix some of the above issues?
