How do I migrate high scores from ADVMAME .97 to MAME 110?
(1/2) > >>
Kook:
I am re-doing my cabinet. How do I get high scores from my old emulator (ADVMAME .97) to my new emulator (MAME Windows Command Line 110)? I tried moving the nvram directory, hiscore.dat, and the hi directory but still don't see my old high scores.
Thenasty:
support for HI-SCORE (dat) has been REMOVED.
squirrellydw:
why??
Silver:
1) Hi-score support was considered a hack - it was not part of emulation of the original games, so it actually goes against what they try and do with mame

2) In theory it will be replaced with "save-state" support. That is everytime you start a game it will start exactly where you were when you were when you quit. Ie so as far as the game is concerned it would be like never being switched off...

Unfortunately at the moment this is not widely support amongst the games.
squirrellydw:
Not sure I understand "save-state".  Does that mean I play pacman, get the high score, die, turn off the cabinet, turn it back on the next day, start a new game of pacman again and my high score is still there?
