Quick question about high scores

Pages: << < (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.
