Savings High Scores, Button Layouts, control panels, etc
kelemvor:
Howdy,
I have a few basic questions since I'm new to setting up Mame.
I know that I need the highscores.dat file for Mame to save high scores on most games. So, where do I get highscores.dat and how do I use it?
Also, does Mame save the settings somewhere when I change the button layout by pressing <tab> and going ot Current Game Settings... Or do I have to change them back every time I play a game?
Also I'm running on a P3 1Ghz so I'm trying Mamewah. I know there's some way to have Mamewah display the controls for each game on the screen while I'm scrolling through the list. How do I do this?
I think that's all for now.
Thanks for the help!

I myself keep loosing the URL for the hiscore but GOOGLE gives it to you on top. Search for hiscore.dat

Yes, it will save all the setting for the games that you change input. It saves it as GAMENAME.CFG inside your cfg folder.

What's the difference between highscore.dat and hiscore.dat? I've seen them both mentioned.

I'm open to using different FEs but on a P3 !ghz some seem slow. I tried GameEX and it looked so inredibly sluggish I could hardly get it to respond to me. MameWah seems less graphic intensive so it runs fine. If there others that can do that on a slower system, feel free to give me some other tips.
