I've searched, but I keep getting results for MAME32 and other non-command line versions of MAME. I'm old-school and still use MAME .084 on my cabinet. It works great. I can modify it as I see fit and it saves high scores. I also have modified how it pauses and exits games and how it exits the front end. Now onto the newer versions of MAME. I have noticed for years that Donkey Kong has not emulated the walking sounds properly. I have recently been made aware that the newer versions of MAME do replicate that sound very close, so I want to use that version that brings back the my arcade memories more vividly. Fast forward to MAME today (149) and I cannot get it to keep high scores. I've downloaded hiscore.dat and read up on compiling, but the websites that deal with compiling seem to only deal with compiling MAME32 and the likes. Whatever happened to just editing the mame.ini file? That's what I used to do and I was able to accomplish all sorts of cool things. Now, it's like pulling teeth to bring back the features that I enjoyed (save high score on Pac-Man) that the MAME Devs decided that we don't need. Can anyone point to a website that does not involve MAME32? I am using the regular MAME (.149). I want to be able to do the following: Change the exit game routine: Press 1+2 vs esc - I figured this one out. Add controller exceptions for Qbert Add High Score save Change the pause routine: Press Left Mouse+2 vs P (This is the way I have it on my cab right now and it works great! Thank you for the help! |

In mame .149, to simply change the controls for a single game, launch said game, then press tab, and choose input (current game) Modify as you see fit. As for high score saving, I have a compiled mame highscore fix working if you want it. Its optimized for a Pentium 4. If not, I can walk you through the steps for compiling mame on your own. |

Either way would be great. My main computer is a P4, but the MAME cabinet is pretty old. I'm not even sure .149 will work. |
