How do I migrate high scores from ADVMAME .97 to MAME 110?

Depends if the game is supported by save states , but yes you bascially start off the game where you left it

Time to learn how to compile Mame - you can add hiscore support back in, and migrate your scores. Once you re-compile, the files you copied will then retain your hiscores. The recompile diff is so graciously provided by Mkchamp here:

Thanks for the tip. I bit the bullet and compiled v0.110 after patching the source. MKChamp's diff file was a big help. High scores are back, disclaimer screens are disabled, and I have an executable that is optimized for Athlon!

Another compile change I like to make is removing the messagebox's that popup saying loading etc at the start. To remove them, open ui.c and change the following.
--- Code: ---/*-------------------------------------------------
ui_draw_text_box - draw a multiline text
message with a box around it
-------------------------------------------------*/
void ui_draw_text_box(const char *text, int justify, float xpos, float ypos, rgb_t backcolor)
{
// Draw nothing!
}
--- End code ---
