There are files in the "hi" folder for both of these games, but nothing at all in the "nvram" folder at all. I have tested with Pacman (puckman.zip) and Donkey Kong (dkong.zip) and the same occurs with both, standalone saves and loads hiscores, launchbox and big box do not. Yes the score is loading/saving when I run mame by itself, but if I close Mame and open launchbox or big box the game loads but the hiscores no longer load with it or save. Look on both your "hi" folder and "nvram" folder, which (if not both) has a file for the game? Actually, in the hi folder it will be a file ( rom_name.hi) and in the nvram folder it will be a sub-folder with the same name as rom_name. When you get/save a high score when running MAME in standalone, exit MAME, start LaunchBox (this is important to start LB after the high score was saved and you completely exited MAME), then open the same game through LaunchBox, does the new saved high score show in the game? The high score loads up this way for Tron. nv file to the pi setup I'm working on currently. I tested this from creating a highscore on another pi setup of mine and copying the tron rom and. nv file and the high scores are reloaded from the. well, the answers to the following will probably help (someone else) too. Now what's interesting is Tron does not save a. The Hiscore.dat file tells Mame some additional information and how to read and store the high scores using the /hi directory instead of /nvram. Most Mame games save their high scores by default, but over 2500 games do not save their high scores. This will probably need to be looked at by Jason.īut 1st, to be clear, you're just talking about being able to save and see the high scores inside the game itself? And not talking about being able to physically see the high scores inside LaunchBox with the new feature that's in the latest beta(s)? Hiscore.dat is a complimentary file to help Mame in saving high scores. Would I be better to switch to a different version of mame than the no nag or is that probably not the issue? I see a folder named "hi" and within the "plugins" folder there is a subfolder named "hiscore" and within that are 4 files "hiscore.dat" "a" "plugin.json" and "sort_a." I never placed any of those files there, they were auto generated I think. I have both the mame.ini as well as plugin.ini in the root mame folder. I don't know if it is something to do with the no nag version of mame? Or if something else is wrong. I attached my 2 ini files, maybe I have something wrong?

I have bought a bunch of thin clients off ebay for a replacement to the Raspi for my lack builds, all running windows 7 embedded. Now, if you want to save the high score even though the original machine didnt (cases 2 & 3), there are three ways to do so: Method 1: use auto save state Emulates like you left the machine on when you exit the game, and starts off where you last exited when you start up the game again. ![]() Linux does this very well and it is free. Why would one do this is a good question, when there are plenty of alternatives that are free that loads OS into memory and have the data saved into a file.
