Quick question about high scores
<< < (3/4) > >>
Thenasty:
RULE of thumb is if you use a newer MAME, you should update the ROMS to the same version.

Using an old set for a newer MAME, will make some/lots of GAME INCOMPATIBLE (not work).

Hi-Score is REMOVED in the newer MAME, it uses save states.

If you want hi-score support, need to use an un-official version of MAME or Compile one yourself with the Hi-score support.

Good Luck.
gurnie:
which goes back to my original question.  If I replace the old roms with the new ones, will it erase the save states which would mean erasing my scores?

thanks!
Thenasty:
Your save states remain intact.
gurnie:
hi5!  Thanks so much for answering my question  :)
Thenasty:

NP

kep in mind that if the ROM(s) has been renamed (specially filename wise), Save States is invalid.
