Mame 0.65 Hi Scores / Popeye
10/16/16 05:34 PM


Hi All .

I've been using Mame 0.65 , or thereabouts on my arcade machine for some years now . I have a question regarding HI SCORES . If I remember right early versions of Mame updated the hi scores directly to a file called "hiscore.dat" . At some point I think this method changed and individual hi score files are now created for each rom within the "hi" folder .

Basically my question is this . I've been playing Nintendo "Popeye" REF F (1981) with my son . The hi scores are not being saved , and we don't know why . No file is created in the "hi" folder . I also have an old hiscore.dat file still there , but that doesn't get written to either . Probably because it isn't supported in this version of Mame . There is another rom called Popeye bootleg from the same year . This version does create a file and save the scores/names , but for some reason the actual hi score isn't saved/shown on the main screen .

Anyway . My question is this . Does anyone know why Mame 0.65 isn't saving , or creating a hi score file for this particular game Popeye F ?

Thanks in advance .

Sammy
