Users can hack arcade scores
 

This was brought to my attention on my forum: A member discovered this video on how to hack the arcade scores: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySkTfDjoF9k

They tested it out on another forum and have confirmed that it works. The video was created on August 5th. Any hope for a fix?

it's not good... :(

my members loved my games so much. if one them is cheating so how's the users playing honestly?

Shouldnt this post be deleted??

Yes we know about it, but dont broadcast it! :mad:

It's usually pretty easy to tell who's been cheating by score or time played. You've just got to learn to police it properly, I don't think there's going to be anyway to fix this properly as you can you any memory editing program to produce the same results. Tamper data just makes it a whole lot easier for those who don't know what their doing.

Isn't it just like, if the score seems too high for the amount of time they've played, call them on it because it's either a massive game bug or an altered score? Besides, there are plenty of ways to cheat on arcade games, and just this one isn't that new...

Can't this be fixed ? it's ruining my Arcade... we used to give prizes, but now... i'm about to shut it down completelly...

<font color="Purple">this sucks thanks for letting me know</font>

Zeropage is working hard to prevent cheating, some cheating methods are already "blocked", but seems like some still work. :(


v32 games and that new timeout thing have really helped but there's a new way to cheat that few of my members have found out. And i'm about to report it to Zeropage right now..

Thx... we can only hope...

Same. The timeout feature doesn't always work either. Cause on some games tamper data can change the timeout.
