yes I made a HI folder in the same place as the mame.exe
do you mean the hiscore.dat is as well as hi_117u1.diff ?? I kinda figured they were the same thing..

No, this is another file that's required. You can download it from here:
http://www.mameworld.net/highscore/download.htm
Unzip it and put it into your Mame folder. Also note this warning from that site:

how do you delete the nvram files?
I'm thinking perhaps mame117u1 might not be suitable with my rom list.. and perhaps I could revert to using mame111 instead..
so all I have to do is patch the .txt (.diff) file from the top sticky thread into mame 111 and then make a HI folder and put the hiscore.dat into the mame folder that holds mame.exe
maybe I should use mame 111 for games like 1941,1942, bublbobl, msword etc
and then use 117u1 for games like metalslug, doom and mortalkombat etc?
MKChamp:
Just FYI, create an ini file (type mame -cc) to set throttle to 1 to keep the game from running too fast. I believe mame now looks for mame.ini despite what your mame executable is. For example, if your mame exe was called mamep4.exe it would like for mamep4.ini....now it would just look for mame.ini.

Just delete them like you would any other file. They are in the nvram subfolder. They have an nv extension with their name corresponding to the rom name. I will say I have never had to delete these files for hiscore support to work, but wanted to make you aware that it might be necessary.
