So there's really no high score saving anymore? I just upgraded to .108 and I think I might go back. The entire reason for playing the old games is to compete for high scores. Are there any plans to add this back in? |

The only problem with savestate is that (ATM) not all games that were in hiscore are supported yet. (AFAIK) There are no plans to re-add the hacky, bug introducing, not-a-debugging aid, only high score saving "hiscore" to official mame. Plans to remove it had been in the works for a year or so (but without a set cutoff date) before it was finally removed, to give time for people who use and want hiscore to help port over to the savestate method. Since the delay didn't seem to motivate adding support to those games for savestate but to delay the porting instead, and bugs were still being reported when it was the hiscore's fault and not code in mame (well, besides that mame supported hiscore ;) ), so the reason to delay was determined to be less productive than the reasons to remove it. --- Quote ---The entire reason for playing the old games is to compete for high scores. --- End quote --- If that floats you boat, fine, but you don't speak for my reasons for playing old games. I play because it's fun, the memories, and the challenge. Others play for the joy of seeing ol' school games running again. [shrug] |

Well that just sucks. I have 0.86 running and my HDD crashed. I took the opportunity to refresh everything to 0.109. I noticed Donkey Kong wasn't saving it's highscore and figured I'd forgotten something. Guess not. dot |

Donkey Kong happens to be one of the games that uses SAVESTATES. Not only do savestates save highscore, they save your game as well. When you leave a game, you will come back at the exact same place/time/etc that you left. Good stuff...we just need more games to support it... |

Hmmm... I downloaded something called hsdat7 and unzipped it to my mame folder and certain games seem to be saving high scores (I'm using mame .106). Am I going crazy? |
