[QUOTE="WilliamPorygon, post: 24352, member: 386"] Exactly. As Mike mentioned a few months ago, they can't really fix the rollover for local high scores because the emulator uses it to set the table's high score list when the game is loaded, and it would wind up screwing the whole list up: The only possible solution I could think of is to have the game record two separate high score lists for each table; one that records the "true" scores including rollovers that is displayed when you choose it on the menu, and a second that records what the ROM would read/display the score as (i.e. not including rollovers) to be used by the ROM. But even that wouldn't really work, since it would lead to times where you'd either be asked to enter your initials for the ROM's scoreboard but not make the "true" high scores, or worse, not get asked by the game to enter initials for a score that does make the rollover-including list.
