I retained my original build as I had all the chd and rom files. I enabled the hiscore plugin on the mame options tab. I created the hi folder in the main folder structure and dropped the latest Hiscores Dat file in the plugin folder in the hiscore folder. Like I had said before certain games worked a treat like 1942, bubble bobble but football champ was not working. These are the before and after pics

Iv reached out to the guy who has put the hiscores DAT together. He has suggested I edit the file in note pad editing it to this .... footchmp: hthero: @:maincpu,program,10a920,50,0a,00 euroch92: @:maincpu,program,10a99c,50,0a,00 I did this and boom the game now saves ??

Well this is very odd same again it definitely appears on the Hi scores Dat file but refuses to save scores.

Thank you mate, should this fail I may be back asking about that method. A bit off topic but CHD files? Can I use them like before from 182 version or do they also have to have a 195 version like the split rom set I’m getting?

Cheers for the help guys I will update the rom set and get latest version of mame 195 and try that. It’s odd because it will save scores for Donkey Kong and Bubble bobble my 2 go to games to test the feature. But like I said a previously supported game Football Champ refuses to save the scores. Iv looked through the dat file and the game appears in the text which to me means it should work. I’ll try this new rom and name version and see if it fixes it.

I’m not sure how the hi score support system works but is it possible to add new games to the supported list? I had an old version of mame that had hi scores built in and would remember scores on football champ this new version doesn’t seem to do the same.
