Question about High Scores
<< < (2/3) > >>
spauldingd:
There are alternative distributions of MAME that have high-score support.  I've been a programmer for years and I wouldn't bother attempting to compile my own when someone else has gone to the trouble.

Did you apply the hi score diff when compiling?
Create the hi folder?
Add the hiscore.dat?

Yes I've actually done all of that ; ; and it still won't work.  Unless.. maybe I'm using the wrong diff?  what's the name of the hi-score diff?

Depends what mame version you're using. Have a look at the first post here:

Download whichever one you need, then have a look at this page:

As Fordman said, follow the instructions to a T. Except when he talks about applying the "u" update diff, you actually want to apply the high score diff.

This should work. Failing that, you can always get an alternative distribution of mame as mentioned, or just use an older version that still had high score support.

Hope this helps. :)

OK, so I was able to compile MAMEUI with the help of HeadKaze's MAME Compiler.  However, even though I have a Hi folder for the high scores, and added the diff files in correct sequence and EVERYTHING, I still cannot get MAMEUI to save my high scores.  Is there something I'm missing all together?  I don't get why this has to be so frustratingly difficult.  It's just a storing of numerical data!
Hewskie:
Do you have highscore.dat in the same folder as mameui.exe? That seems like the most obvious solution.
