Mame 108 already...

<< < (2/4) > >>

Tiger-Heli:
Thanks - New questions:  Is there a list somewhere of what games support auto-save state and/or NVRAM?  Also, if I enable auto-save state in the mame.ini, does this cause problems for games that don't support it?

Thanks again!!!

Not sure if there's a list of games that support autosave or not, but I do know that having it turned on (autosave 1) won't affect games that don't support it.  So, there's no harm there. HOWEVER, core changes to MAME could render previous save states invalid. It happened to me and Donkey Kong. I used to just use the save states, but after a particular new build, it ran like crap autoloading the save. Only choice was to delete it.

Mame's -listxml output tells if savestate works for that game or not: look at the "stavestate" attribute in the game's "driver" element. 

Whether NVRAM saves high scoure is not noted though.

Yet another dumb question - How would I do that?

I ran "Mame" -listxml >xmlfile and got a 26M xml file and opened that in Opera (browser) but it just looked like a list of all the games strung together. . .  :P ???

I show only 664 games supporting savestate thus far.
