Older Mame version

[Tony Monnery]

Hi Guys
Hope I am post in the right place.

I am using Livemamecab and have installed it to a usb drive all is running well but because it uses Mame 153 some of my games do not work so I have compiled Mame 145 with hiscores and it works fine except for the hiscore saving.
It works ok outside of cabrio I get all my hiscores working but when run from inside cabrio the hiscores do not work.

I also can not workout how hiscores work in Mame 153 in Livemamecab when there is no hiscore.dat ?

Thanks for any help.

Tony

The problem is here

+    state.mem_range = NULL;
+    emu_file f(OPEN_FLAG_READ);
+      filerr = f.open("hiscore", ".dat");

If I try mame with command line, like this
mame /roms/1943.zip -> No problem with Highscore

But behind Cabrio the file hiscore.dat seems never open ...

So, in Livemamecab I changed this mame's line by

f.open("/games/roms/hiscore", ".dat");

And it works

This is not specially related with Livemamecab

Thanks for that had to recompile cabrio with the path hard coded in the section you described and hiscores worked fine but only if the hiscore.dat was is the hard coded directory.

Thanks
