Request Score Rollover Recognition

Score Rollover Recognition (Xbox 360)

I understand ROM codes do have score rollovers; however, FarSight's score display for their leaderboards (local and online) don't recognize score rollovers, which I think it should.

What they should do is add a digit in the ones place per every rollover and then move it down from there. Of course I know nothing about anything programming so I have no idea how actually-factually feasible it is

The alphanumeric score display for Black Hole has only 6 digits, but my 2.5M score is still correctly represented on the leaderboards. I wonder why it captures rollover on that table and not Ripley's.

Each table stores scores differently. On TOM it uses 5 values of 0-100, which is why at 10 billion it flips over. Oddly, Tales I believe uses 6 values, so it flips over at 1 trillion, which would take quite awhile to hit on that table. Some tables might hold score values that are beyond what the display shows. Which is why black hole works.

We tried "adding" 10 billion each time it flipped over, but it gave some false positives, and we haven't been able to track down why it was doing that. We're still looking for solutions to the problem.

All the same, it's nice to know you guys are looking into it.

Thanks for addressing my request! I'm confident you guys can solve this issue. Do you think it could be possible for your leaderboard system to read score rollovers?

 

[Mike Reitmeyer]

When we do have a fix, the leaderboards should show the correct score if that's what you are asking.

 

[PinMike8666]

Yes, thanks once again!

I looked at the leaderboards since someone pointed out to me that there are scores over 10 Billion points on the iOS leaderboards and sure enough there is. Great job on that front. I edited the title name of this thread.

Awesome! I'm also very glad to hear you guys are looking into it. In regards to metagame, pinball is all about high score
