Someone asked about something like this before, and he got shot down. Sorry.

This idea won't work so well. And it's been mentioned already so....meh.

Sure, it's possible. We had this discussion already. What's almost impossible is preventing people from cheating. As soon as you have one person cheating, the meaning of the entire thing goes out the window.

'Yeah I just got <maxed out value> points in <insert game name here>, i have pics and states to prove it !!1!! lol'
Sadly this is too easy to achieve, even without image processor / hexeditor. A couple of PAR codes is often enough.

Quick example (I did this in roughly 30 seconds):

Since i did that with 3 PAR codes (3 score bytes to set), the save state is also cheated, but now if I erase the codes and resume play, my score is maxed out 'without cheats'.
Since there is no way to prevent this, might as well not start it...
