I've activated the option in plugins for the hiscore support but it doesn't save the score after i exit the game by pressing (ESC) i'm using the last version of GM on Windows 10. How can i fix it? Thanks.

You do need the hiscore.dat still though.Try running MAME with the verbose switch and see if it is launching the plugin and if it is finding the hiscore.dat file.Thanks RobertJ it was good to have it confirmed that the high score patch was no longer needed, I did some more research and found that I had my folder hierarchy incorrect, all fixed now old and new high score working You can also set the location the hi scores are saved by using the "hiscore.ini" file.example "hiscore.ini"Code: [Select]hi_path $HOME/.mame/hidat_path $HOME/my/hiscore/data/pathOnly hi_path is currently used (Hi Score save location).The dat_path (dat file) is looked for in the current directory and then in the hiscore plugin directory.You could enable the dat_path by uncommenting line #51 in the hiscore lua script (init.lua).
