Trouble getting hiscores saving with groovyarcade
« on: March 19, 2018, 06:53:51 am »
Hello

I've installed groovyarcade (GroovyArcade-Arch2017.05.01-x86_64.iso), running groovymame 0.148.

It's running absolutely great, thanks to all involved :)

I'm having difficulty getting the hiscores to save though.  I have the hi/ folder containing the hiscore.dat that came with the groovyarcade install.  I have a bunch of .hi files in this folder too from my previous non-groovy install (earlier version of mame).

I've set mame.ini to have the following: -
Code: [Select]
plugins   1
plugin    hiscore

Is there anything else I've missed?  None of the hiscores are loading when the games load.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers

0.148 is 5 years old at least. I think it predates the plugin system all together.

Are you able to try latest build?
