createing a history.dat file

[Nefesis]

how do you create one? i'm assuming the mame file i downloaded didn't come with it because nothing ever remembers my previous high score. i tried using the command prompt to make one by typing: "mame -listxml|xml2info > history.dat" but then when i tried playing ms. pacman twice my score had not been saved. i'm using MAMEWAH as a frontend if it matters.

It is hiscore.dat that saves the scores, not history.dat.

History.Dat   gives you a brief history of the game.

Do a Google search for 'hiscore.dat' and you'll find what you're looking for.

ah, that explains my problem. the hiscore.dat is what i'm looking for. could i create it the same way i created the histpory.dat?
