[QUOTE="Mike Reitmeyer, post: 5709, member: 132"] We tried implementing a fix awhile ago that kept track of rollovers and and modified the score on the leaderboards. Problem is every once in awhile it would give a false positive. We've found a solution and it'll be in all the next updates. The local high score table will still be rolled over, because we haven't found a good way to handle that since the ROM can't. If we kept track of your real scores and then tried to push them into the emulator they would get truncated and the high score table would get out of order. For example, an 11 billion score would show up as 1 billion but be ahead of a score that was 9 billion. The one thing I can't figure out is why a higher scoring table like Theater only handles less then 10 billion, but a table like Tales will handle scores up to almost 1 trillion. As for the question about Firepower. We didn't emulate that table, so we had an internal score value that kept track of your points reguardless of what was on the display. When emulating a ROM that's much harder to do. [/QUOTE]
