Mame content manager
TalkingOctopus:
Many mame games use nv ram to save data such as game settings.
Read this description for how thios relates to saving highscores:
http://www.mameworld.net/highscore/nvram.htm
Without the nvrams from that site, games like metal slug 2 and puzzle bobble 2 won't save high scores.

2. Same goes for the "adult/mature" games (or any others I don't want).
I thought maybe that the mame content manager could handle probs 1 & 2 but I need to learn more about how that works. (where can I find more info) And as for 3 & 4 I'm open to ideas.

I'm pretty sure MCM just deletes the roms for the mahjong and adult games, but they will still be listed, but if MameWah has a "Show available games only" that may be good enough.
Otherwise you will need to edit the source to remove them, or - if you switch to EmuLoader, the Parental Lock feature can automatically remove them from EL's list.
Using EL, you can also export the Parental Lock list to a txt file and then use a utility on EL's download page to "comment out" the games from MAME's driver.c file, then recompile MAME and you will have a build without these games that you can use with any frontend.

Thanks for the help so far!
By the way TalkingOctopus I did get the log-on thing to work with tweak-ui, I'm not going to say what I was doing wrong tho, too :-[ embarrassed :-[
I like the highscore.dat project. Good support from Leezer. I shouldn't have any probs with it.
Does anyone know where MCM is located?
Also has anyone used Tim's "MAART - MAME Adult ROMs Removal Tool"? I just stumbled across it last nite. What do you all think of it?

Just read the info on the home page. Looks like a scaled down version of MCM, only removes mature ROMS, not puzzle or adult like MCM.
Problem with all of these is they just delete the ROMS, but they still appear in the gamelist unless your frontend supports "exclude" lists, or you re-compile a custom MAME.
