      Hi,
      This is my first post so first of all thanks everyone for all the great work you did to allow people to play on all these old systems !
      I read a couple of topics about the highscores in fba and I tried a few things like that : https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox/issues/323
      But still, the highscores are not saved for my streetfighter game (3rd strike)
      Is there something I can do about that ?
      My version of recalbox is 18.07.13
      it has Retroarch 1.7.3
      I use FBA V0.2.97.43
      And the whole thing is on a usb stick plugged in a Dell desktop (optilex GX620)
      Thanks for reading.

        @thomasdubois it is adviced to do a clean installation with latest beta version. Fbalpha has had very big changes and such an old retroarch + core version is no reference.

          @thomasdubois idk what's your issue, i added support for hiscore in the cps3 driver in january 2018, so your recalbox from july 2018 should be ok.
          Make sure you have the hiscore.dat file in your [system]/fba/ folder ([system] being your bios folder), and that you enabled hiscores in the core options.

            Thanks for your answers.
            I activated highscores in the core option but while verifying that, I just saw that I can activate autosave for FBA in the advanced settings of recallbox. It WORKS ! Highscores are saved and even number of credits.
            But is it the point of highscores.dat or is it a way of by-passing my problem ?
            I'm going to upgrade retroarch and test without autosave.
            Thanks again and have a nice day !

              I think it's bypassing, you're just saving the memory state of the game

                Yes my hiscore.dat is in that place. and it is activated in the core options, still it doesn't do.
                I'm gonna search for a newer version of FBA.
                Thanks

                  I looked a bit around and I think my version of fba (2.97.43) is the last one so i misunderstood : the thing I have to update is my retroarch.
                  I just read this : https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/8801/update-retroarch-is-it-possible-how-to-do-it
                  Is there any tutorial for compiling it ?
                  I use lubuntu so I already compiled once or twice but I'm not sure about how that works with recalbox.
                  Thank you for reading

                    Yes I think so the path is : "recallbox/share1/bios/fba"

                    And I just made a few more tests : my autosave works but the autosave is deleted if I open the game in netplay or if I load a previous savestate (witch was predictable)

                      As i said, there are 3 conditions and only those 3 :

                      • having a recent enough fba version (later than january 2018)
                      • having the core option enabled
                      • having a valid hiscore.dat in [system]/fba/

                      You said you meet those 3 requirements, however it is 100% sure you are wrong somewhere. You can try updating retroarch all you want, it won't change anything.

                        Ok thanks, I'm gonna do it all over again from the beginning. I'll post the results when I'm done.

                          Ok I just did it.
                          My hiscore.dat file was not valid.
                          Now it works.
                          But the highscores are erased if I load a savestate, is there anything I can do to be able to load a savestate without erasing the highscore ?
                          Thanks again for your answers and all the work there is behind.

                            @thomasdubois no, a savestate is a full picture of the full memory of the game, so off course what was saved as that time as scores are retrieved along the rest

                              The file that worked for me is the "old format hiscore.dat" as indicated in the manual
                              https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/lr-fbalpha
                              And I placed it in [system]/fba/ folder ([system] being my bios folder)
                              As indicated by barbudreadmon above.
                              Thanks a lot to you all and see ya !

                                @thomasdubois that file is there by default in the newest beta. It should work ootb.

                                  Newest fbalpha support any version of this file, it might be that the fbalpha version packaged in your recalbox is too old.
