Hiscore saving issue
« on: September 07, 2013, 01:49:00 am »
As far as i know the latest GM release already has the hiscore patch applied/built in...

In my setup no hiscores are saved ... :cry:
Tested on pacman and Xain'd Sleena.


Please help!

Hi Rodman,

Make sure to place the hiscore.dat *inside* the \hi folder.

Important note: posts reporting GM issues without a log will be IGNORED.
Steps to create a log:
 - From command line, run: groovymame.exe -v romname >romname.txt
 - Attach resulting romname.txt file to your post, instead of pasting it.

No - rookie mistake over here...
Assumed the mamedir where it was located is the right place...


As the highscorefix is built in maybe the .dat locatin could be corrected for the next GM release..


However in my setup now even highscore saving works flawlessly..

Regards,
R.
