mame 0.134 high score save?

[mameapl65]

hi, ive been trolling around the forums and cant seem to find a post that will explain what i have to do 100%.  Im not that great at computers but i seem to some how get the job done... most of the times.  Well im just starting to mess around with mame version 0.134 (havnt upgraded yet to 0.135) and i noticed that none of my high scores get saved.  I know they get reset because everytime you start mame up its like starting it for the first time.  I also know you need some sort of hiscore.dat file to save and i know some games like pacman need there own dat file to be saved.


WHAT I NEED HELP WITH:

Where do i get those files?  im looking for a trusted website.

Where do i put the files on my computer? 

and...

How do i get my all time fav. game to save its score (i ask because its an older one that might need its own file)
GALAGA!!!

You need to download the hiscore.dat file and place it in you mame main directory, then make sure you have a hi folder in your mame directory also. then most of the games withh save hi-scores. Ill link to the file for you also.
