hiscore diff (with no nag/white box removal)
kaptainsteve:
Hello, I have a couple of questions I was hoping someone could help me with.
First, is Hiscore now in the regular Mame?
Second, can someone please walk through, step by step a checklist of things to check for when one's hiscores are not saving in a Mame 174 compiled with hiscore? I've tried everything yet the scores are not saving... please!
Thanks in advance.
Steve

Hi.
I think it is in the regular mame now. I'd not seen any documentation saying so and I might be mistaken but I've downloaded/setup 0.174 and didn't do this patch. Indeed I was planning on doing so but it didn't seem to need it! I do have 0.133 on the same machine (different directory) with this patch but the 0.174 is definitely saving some/all highscores. Flying Shark certainly and I believe others. Of course these could be doing it as per original hardware (NVRAM) where the machine saved high scores after power off...
For high score on the patch method, you need a "hi" directory under Mame and disable_highscore_patch 0 (or remove the disable_highscore_patch line entirely from mame.ini).

Unfortunately the new patch is not working for me with MAME version 175:

Update:
The patch did not work using MAME compiler. When I patched it manually using the buildtools command line, it worked flawlessly !
