MAME Leaderboard Question

[MNMax21]

I am showing up in the online list for the leaderboard.  Does this also overwrite the hiscore file for each game on your machine?  I only see my scores on my home machine.  I’m just making sure that’s the way it should be.  It would be sweet if it showed scores from other players within the game.  I am also not seeing them in the high score list view for the gameex game menu.  It just shows mine.  My scores online are the ones showing, but I do not see other players.  I saw the embed note, but thought that was more like if you wanted to rss it or something.  I have gameex online enabled and set to not private.  Am I missing a step?

 

Thanks!  Hope everyone is staying healthy!

When you go to GameEx Online, Login then click Home. Look for New: MAME arcade score leaderboard. You should see the scores and your own.

P.S. You need to work on that DK high score, my friend!

Just wanted to say as a "Contributor" your account should be in good standing. It could be auto lockout. If it persists please let me know.

Cheers.

Tom, thanks.  I’d gladly contribute (monetary) a bit more if it came to that, as the product you provide is amazing and I’m sure time consuming.  I appreciated you making me a contributor years back and the product continues to shine.

Draco,

I can login just fine and see the scores at online.gameex.com.  I see mine and the others in top 3.  Those scores are accurate to to my scores in the hi file.  I will get to work on Donkey Kong.  Haha.  However, when I open the high scores link within the gameex program itself on my arcade and view the stats.png file, it only shows my scores.  I do not see other scores in this community.

 

I guess I am just trying to figure out if this should be overwriting the hi files for each game on my system, if the scores should be showing up in the high score menu for each game within the gameex program or if you just need to log onto online.gameex.com to see the scores.  Basically, if my stuff is functioning properly if it’s posting scores to the online piece, but the fact that I cannot see them inside the gameex program on my arcade is expected.

The intent of the leaderboard is to capture the top 3 scores within the community on GameEx Online only and not locally on your rig. Enhancement request?

The only way possible would be if you use the Pixelcade LED marquee with LEDBlinky which will eventually display the top 3 scores for MAME games that support it.

Just so happens I have plans for a Pixelcade in the future.  Either way, high scores is a cool thing!
