Save State Failed Me!

(1/3) > >>

FrizzleFried:
What the F?   My GALAGA hi-scores disappeared last night.   I have NOT changed versions of MAME.   The only thing I did was unplug the cabinet so I could remove the monitor chassis.   When I fired back up and went in to Galaga....hi-scores were GONE!   I have not changed versions since .108 because of this crap...and now it's happening even when I don't change versions.

What's a man gotta do to maintain a hi-score?  Sheesh...

MiKman:
You know if you unplug a real cabinet, the highscores are toasted too. And isn't this what the mame team is trying to move towards? 100% perfect emulation :-) in all seriousness tho this has also happend to me, fustrating to say the least :-(

FrizzleFried:
Yah...it appears it only happened to Galaga...my Donkey Kong scores were still there...

No biggie...if they (the hiscores) were so important to me I would not ever screw around with my cabinet....that seems to be what causes these issues...me.

Brad:
Thats why I won't use save states. Sure it's more accurate but High Score Saves on the cab is an important part of the fun, especially when friends come over.

Or when you've networked your nvram and hi directories so that all your friends are sharing high scores.
