AFAIK, Q-bert saves high scores in NVRAM. I don't know why it would lose the NVRAM unless either: 1) You updated to a later version of MAME. 2) You accidentally reset the game (F3). |

Nope, haven't done either of those things. There isn't a shift key function on the ipac to reset is there? Maybe thats being hit by accident. I think I would notice if the game reset on me though. |

I believe Centiped only saves the first 3 high scores to NVRAM, even though ten are listed, so if you use a build without high-score support, the last 7 scores are lost. This is correct behavior according to MAME, so not really documented. Perhaps Q-bert is the same, if it is only the lower scores you are losing. Also found this on MAWS about Q-bert: --- Quote ---The first time you run the game, you should go into service mode, select 4. Options/Parameters with key F1, reset the High Score Table to have the high score table properly initialized. --- End quote --- But I don't think I have ever done this, so don't know that it matters. |

Thats interesting, I'll try that. Thanks for looking that up for me. I'll see if the scores last now. In the meantime I've got a white board to write the score on. |
