Thanks KRC. It is now completed. Link for download is on first post and also at the GameEx.com themes page. Yay for me!

There is really not much to this plugin. First it requires that you have a custom compiled version of MAME with a Hiscore Patch and all it does it download and upload the games associated hi file to an FTP server. So it basically allows people to share hiscore tables online. I recommend using the hiscore.dat file generated from here which I believe is for MAME 0.140. So if everyone uses that version there should be no issues. This is really just a proof of concept and is by no means a robust solution. I just don't think it's possible to really do this properly but perhaps it will be expanded in the future to address some of these issues. Some of the more obvious issues are cheating which I don't think is really possible to prevent. Another is in the off chance you run the same game at the same time your hiscore file might get overwritten. Although it does make a backup of the .hi file so you may be able to recover it. Another issue is some versions of MAME may create incompatible .hi files between some games. So you may download a .hi that is not compatible. DISCLAIMER: Use at your own risk! If your hiscores are precious to you then don't use this plugin! You have been warned! If anyone is interested in continuing development of this basic plugin PM me and I can send you the source code.

It doesn't suck too awful bad... He put this plugin out. Give it a throw and see how it flies.

STARCADE (WIP) 1920x1080 Here's the current theme that im working on (amongst all the other stuff going on). Still needs alot of work doing to it but should be worth it when its completed. Im going to be using the Black Brushed logo set as they look like they were made for this theme. Im currently working on intro's, sfx and a whole lot more to make this theme worthwhile. Ive uploaded an example snapshot of the Start Page, as you can probably see things need a little tlc like the selector bar (im going to be shortening it and putting a lightsaber handle on there), Also more layers need to be added as it still looks a little bare.

Here are a few special logo's to be used with Starcade.
