For original (no dot) Mushihimesama owners, I think you'll want to first play it without ultra unlocked, so your maniac scores store fine on the table. The score bug occurs when you open ultra, then your next maniac top score gets copied over to the ultra table, screwing up that table. Waiting to open up ultra after you've had your fill with Maniac means less chance of having another top score corrupt your ultra table.
It'd probably work the same, I'm surprised they don't have the option in the test menu to be honest, but then I havent owned/borrowed them personally to see.
I just saw this thread after I loaned my Mushi to a friend.
What pisses me off the most about my board is that a previous owner must have set the settings to max lives, etc., so the high scores on Original were around 90 million, which is a considerable amount above the world record.
Anyway, I'd probably be too scared to try something like this anyway. I'd need a Dave K. hand.
I found an interesting bug in resetting high scores on my Mushihimesama (the original revision).
The game still copies over your Maniac score to the Ultra table even if Ultra hasn't been enabled.
I don't really care about that but if you do, be aware that you'll never be able to save Maniac scores to your PCB once you've reset it.
I tried this out a couple weeks ago, and it seemed to work just fine... for a while. Whoever had the board before me played the game with non-default settings so the scores on the board were like 90million for Original mode, only possible with a zillion extra extends on easier mode. So when I deleted the scores, anything would be better.
Interesting, so this only happens if you change default settings? I'd say put everything back to defaults and reset the scores again to at least get an Original table that works.
Also sounds like Korszca found the reason why your maniac scores weren't getting saved after the reset.

Everything is on default. The reason I restarted the board was because the previous owner got impossible scores because settings weren't on default. So I changed the settings to default, and eventually reinitialized using your tips.
I'm just curious if this is part of the same bug that saves Maniac scores on to the Ultra table. Maybe the Original mode scores are screwy unless ultra is unlocked.
