Hi! I'm looking for Informations for this topic. Suggestions that I found are:

using dropbox and symlink to the highscores from both cabinets.

Using a SQL-Database (on my NAS-Server)

Is anyone sharing highscores with a friend and how do you do it? Is there a Tutorial or a third-party-program? Maybe I'm looking for the wrong terms, but what I found is not much.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks for the quick response. I will check that later in Detail. My First Impression is that this is more then what I have in mind. But I'm Not into programming and so I have to talk to a friend of mine what is possible and what makes sense. If I/we use this Solution or have another one, I will Post my experience here to let all you people know.

thanks.

Does MAME even save the hiscores of more than a small handful of games?

I know you can turn Hi-Score on in MAMEUIFX, but it seems like there are barely any roms that support it.

I don't know how to do it but just shooting an idea in my head... if two machines were running the same program via a network.. they would share the same data.

True, but latency becomes an issue. There's also write contention.

it seems like a bigger problem than it's worth..... get a chalkboard and text/email each other the hi score for a game and update the chalkboard lol
