Highscore + submenu

[Scott]

I had everything working fine in my cabinet and now today when I go to load a game from the gamelist menu in mame it goes directly into the game. Before there was an other menu where it had a discription and an option to add to favourites etc, but its no longer there. Plus my games no longer save the highscores. I still have my old highscores when I load games but will not register any new ones.

just a shot in the dark:

in the enable/disable features section do you have show game information set to yes or no?

I'll check that when i get home. Maybe i turned it off when testing. I think because i installed a newer version of mame, I probably lost my highscore support as i downloaded 137 but they don't officially support the highscore.dat file from what i read. So now i found a version of v.133

with highscore support and I have the 27GB of v137 roms. Hopefully using new roms on an older version wont be too bad.

I had roms from 2006 when i downloaded them all in my cabinet. Then when i installed Gameex again and downloaded mame within the setup, most of the roms did not work anymore. What a nightmare.

My cabinet's PC died on my move. I was using pure dosbase on it so i thought i would be able to transplant the drive. But the drive suffered damage as well so i bought a HP p4 1.6 for $10 off kijiji and a 40 GB drive for $20 and started from scratch again. Had a backup of all the roms on a 2tb drive but apparently they changed in the last 4-5 years.
