MNMax21 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I snagged the MAME pack from the FTP and I'm loving it all. The only drawback is that it did not have built in hi score support. I compiled my own MAME awhile back and I think it would be as simple as just moving that .exe to the new folder... even if it was that easy, I'd still like to operate with .180 instead the .143 build I had. I thought maybe it would be as easy as just moving my hiscore.dat file into the folder, but that did not work. Is it possible to add hiscore to an already complete MAME or do you have to compile you own? If it is possible, can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial on adding the hiscore function without a complete compile? Thanks and Happy New Year all!! Wishing for big things for all in 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) I don't use this feature, but can't you enable it in the configuration wizard? http://www.gameex.com/setup-wizard-configuration-guide/ http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=83614 Edited January 11, 2017 by tthurman scratch that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 You have to compile it with the hitotext created for the MAME version. Headkaze's latest MAME Compiler does a good job of gathering the needed files for the compile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNMax21 Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Cool, I used @headkaze's compiler the first time and it went really well. Sorry for the MAME compile 101 questions here. I only have a couple more: 1. When utilizing this compiler, can I build from the MAME file I already have? 2. Or do I have to download new files, compile and then move the .exe to the file I already have? THANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Not saying you can't, but I believe you're just asking for problems. I would do a clean compile, then search out the directory and replace the contents with your newly compiled version, but that's just me.
