Since the vf allows loading/storing of data game options or high scores can be permanent – and usually are for the Vecfever aware cart. like Malbans or my own.
For older games a global system to handle scores has been added and the cartridges are patched automatically (if a patch was developed) so that the tables are shown during attract and the entry page is called.
By default this system is disabled. It is enabled by choosing an entry mechanism (the first two use digital joystick input, the rest analog) and entering initials. Afterwards press 4: to confirm one last time..
Afterwards if you start e.g. Berzerk and play a decent game you will see a ‘new high score’ text upon which you are asked to enter your initials with the specified entry mechanism. Then the table is displayed with your score highlighted.
The high score table can also directly be displayed by the menu by pressing 3: and if not stored a ‘has not been stored yet’ message will be displayed. Which incidentally also shows that this particular cart. is indeed supported by the system because if it is unsupported nothing will be shown..
