Mame 213 and Hi Scores

[Pepperami]

Hey guys

Well, first noob question of the day

Saving High Scores in mame

I'm using Mame 213 and I have read the following from an older post........

"Go to your Mame install folder and look for the file plugin.ini then look for the line hiscore and change the 0 to a 1"

 

I haven't got a plugin.ini file I have searched and cannot find it lol

So please can someone tell me how to get the HiScores to save in Mame Please

Many Thanks

I think it's built-in/automatic these days, especially with release 0.213.   Is there a "hi" directory in your main MAME directory? 

[Pepperami]

no there isnt lol I had to make it something else I saw to do

See attached example. Goes in your MAME\ini directory.

Just change any plugins you want to "1" and any you want off to "0".
