Extract Pinball Dreams Highscore table

[efrenmgp]

Hello!

Does anyone know if it is possible to extract the highscores from the Pinball Dreams diskette and use it with WHDLoad? I still have my old floppies around and they work fine. All the high scores from back then are still there and I would want to move them to the HD installed version.

I will appreciate any guidance if this is at all possible.

Thanks!

Did the WHDLoad installer not extract the highscore to a file onto your hd? Maybe try again with the latest version?

Well, the thing is. I created my WHDLoad version in WinUAE using IPF Disk images. Then I moved it to my real Amiga so maybe I'll try installing it directly from those floppies and see if they are copied over.

Thanks!

So you used to play on floppies with the disks write enabled?! That's dangerous IMHO. Corrupted my Emlyn Hughes' International Soccer disks that way :-(

Sorry to hear that In this case, they are a copy I made back in the day directly from the originals (which I also still have). It was a very pleasant surprise to see they still work fine. I've seen hard disks, CDs and DVDs live way shorter lives

The easiest way is to use the Multi-game Character Editor (http://amigan.1emu.net/releases/#mce) to edit the high scores on the WHDLoad version to match the scores you had.

Hey thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try

I think you'll probably find though that you're better now than you used to be, so those old high-scores probably won't last long.

Hehe I think it is quite the opposite. Most of them are not mine anyway but even those that are mine, I just don't know how I got them... I have not been able to reach 30 - 40% of those points now
