From: thrust26 Stella allows saving high scores when the required definitions for a ROM
- exist. For a number of popular games this has been done already. You are
- welcome to help us with defining more games. Stella allows the user to save high scores when the required definitions
+ for a ROM exist. For a number of popular classic and homebrew games (see
+ High Scores - supported games) this has
+ been done already. High Scores dialog: This dialog can be opened by pressing 'Insert' any time while a game is
- played. It will read the current score from the game and allow the user
- to add it as a new high score. Of course this makes most sense when a game
+ played. It will provide the current variation and score and allow the user
+ to add this as a new high score. Of course this makes most sense when a game
is over.
The dialog items are explained in the following two tables. To find the required definition values, you can use Stella's built-in debugger. To find the required definition values, you can use Stella's built-in debugger.
