High Score Issues - Some games use the same title and save/load high scores under that same title.

Open LimitZer0 opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

There are some games with the same title (like all FURY UNLIMITED games). These games all save/load under the same game name ("F U R Y" in this case).

Luch's Soft games come to mind as well although I'm not sure if it uses the standard score location. "LUCHS SOFT PRESENTS:"

There may be more games. Different versions of the same game could have this issue as well (alphas/betas/final release/etc) if anyone cares. (Rockaroids/Rockaroids Remix)

Yeah this is a known issue but I'm glad you opened a issue for it. It bugged me that MINE STORM I and MINE STORM II only write to "MINE". We need to figure out a way to hash the header and use that, or find the longer string amongst the header data. I think we thought you could probably read up to a certain number of bytes (80? 255?) and terminate at that number or the end of the cart header which is indicated with 0x00 IIRC.
