Title: mame and the hiscores
Post by: danivempire on February 25, 2011, 02:20:28 pm

Hello all ^^

So here's my question. You know that some games like pacman, frogger, doesn't save the hiscores.

I've seen the hiscores.dat file from http://highscore.mameworld.info/ (http://highscore.mameworld.info/) , I've put the file in the same directory as mame.exe but it doesn't save the scores!?

Do I have to do something to make it work?

I'm using the official mame 0.138

thanks ^^

MAME does not support (anymore) Hiscore.dat file.
You need to Compile ur own adding the CODES first, so that your complied MAME.EXE supports the DAT file.

I think there are other version that supports it (dunno).

An older MAME (dunno which last version) have support for the DAT file.
