[RESOLVED]High score in PinballX Information menu

[axilla]

I am having an issue with the text files in the High Scores folder in the PinballX installation folder are not updating on every table.  So, when I pull up the "Information" menu from PinballX on a table, it reflects old scores and not the current.  I know it's working for some because I had set a high score on the Popeye table and it updated the text file correctly.  However, I had set the Grand Champion high score in World Cup Soccer '94 and I can't for the life of me get the text file in the high score folder to update correctly to reflect that.  I've spent the last couple days reading all of the forums to see if I can find anyone with similar issues, so I apologize if this has already been asked/answered.  It seems it's mostly all or none for everyone else.  I can post some logs if someone can tell me which ones to post  .  

Any help that can even just point me in the right direction is greatly appreciated!!

I have the same issue. I posted it somewhere I will try to link to it. Basically the file that reads the hi score info needs updated. Especially for tables that have seperate hi score for different modes like alot of the stern tables. For example Metallica has the table hi score but then you can also get hi scores for fuel mode, graveyard, etc.

I did not even know you could view this outside of the tables...does it work for any table that has a hiscore chart or only certain tables?

I think all except the ones that can have multiple hi scored at this time.

I solved this issue (at least in my case) and wanted to go ahead and post it in case anyone else runs into this issue.  The issue was that the upper/lower case of the ROM names in Pinmame and pinemhi.ini do not match.  When the pinemhi application runs, the match is apparently case sensitive.  The table in question that I had an issue with had exported the high scores before I had updated to the latest Pinmame, so I would guess that the change happened with Pinmame.  However, one of two things has occurred:

1. The latest version of the pinemhi.ini file included with PinballX has changed the upper/lower case of some of the ROM names
2. The latest Pinmame that I am using ( VPinMAME_SAM_NON_PINDMD__PINDMD2__PIN2DMD_2.34 ) has changed the upper/lower case of the ROM names.

Once I noticed in the "test" function within the Pinmame Setup application that the ROM name for World Cup Soccer was listed as "World Cup Soccer (LX-2)", I checked the pinemhi.ini file and WCS was listed as "World Cup Soccer (Lx-2)".  Since the pinemhi.ini had the lower case "x", I changed this to match the upper case "X" from Pinmame and the high score file was immediately created after exiting the table from PinballX. 

This one had bugged me for quite some time since it used to work and then stopped.  I also had other things I wanted to be able to do with that data.

Hopefully this will help save someone some of the headache that I had!
