Mame & Hiscore.dat
« on: January 03, 2006, 04:01:41 pm »
Does the Hiscore.dat file work with MAME0.36 (DOS)?
Its not mentioned one way or the other in the docs or on the website that i can see.

Can anyone confirm this:

"Prior to MAME 36B14, MAME used a driver-based hi-score support built into the actual MAME core.  In 36B14 and subsequent builds this was disabled.  Sometime prior to R37B6, the new external hiscore.dat file was enabled.  So it is VERY possible that 0.36 has no hiscore support whatsoever."

In running MAME0.36B(i presume final)

Well, I'm pretty sure I wrote that, so I don't know that my confirming it means much.
