I have been trying to find a way to "easily" preserve/save cores from played tables.
I have looked at the good work which Fartian has done, and see where he ran into problems. It seems that we have little control over the ROMs and how they store information in the NVRAM. Attempting to extract information from the NVRAM is very Table Specific and often tedious.
Here is the question, especially to those who have built tables. Is there a way, perhaps an event, or perhaps and object we can incorpertae in table scripts, which would allow the high score to be written to a file in addition to the NVRAM.
Here is what I am thinking. Maybe we can have a discret object which gets enabled or activated at end game,
perhaps by watching the ball exits, and determine if game is over, at that poiunt do we have access to the current table score, and if so can we grab that value and "using script" write it out to a flat file ?
