Another rusty topic, but I'm a new here. I hope you have already figured out how to exchange highscore table using nvR & nvS variables. One clue has been missed above: you need to initialize the stored table (with blanks) only once (I mean when table is played for the first time - I mean for the first time ever, not for the first time when game is launched). To achieve that you need to detect if flag is set (f.e flag stored in nvR16) and skip the extra highscore blanking when it's already set! Of course flag need to be set after initial testing.
Wild West it's not a good sample how to do it because I store there 5 different tables for 6 combinations (3 difficulty * 2 ball amount), and I needed to pack all these values together with other settings. It's just too complicated, I even myself have problems with analyse that code now

Sebek74 ... You are definitely too hard on yourself;-) Because, for me, "Wild West" is simply the best FP table (As I said you, the 2011-02-22, in your table comment under the name "francois.macre" that is my true name). Now I must confess that I gave up, for now, to continue my project, because I took too much mental energy. I prefer to use this energy to something more important to me, that is my healing. but I thank you for your advice ... if I decide one day to get back to my pinball project, maybe I'll get back to you about this story of two differents highscores. Again huge congratulation for "Wild West", I really admire your work.
Bye Sebek74,

Hi Sebek74,
Finally, as I'm bored at the hospital, I decided to continue my pinball. So, I come back to you to ask your advice about these 2 differents highscores (just for 3 and 5 balls). Rather than bother you to explain me the code in detail, could you give me the title of a FP table using this function (other than "Wild West" as it is too complicated) that I could download on fprelease.com? Thuse, I could dissect it myself;-)
Thanks in advance
Bye

Doodle Bug for example.
Look at InitHighScoreEntry, ReadHS, BuildHS.
InitHighScoreEntry is just for initialization (first time you launch the table)
ReadHS to read the highscores depending of number of balls
BuildHS to write the highscores each time you beat a record
