Many mame games use nv ram to save data such as game settings and highscores etc....But it is very inconsistant saving highscores as many people have found that they only save scores every now and then, if ever.
The nv ram files that mame games use are stored in a folder called nvram in the same directory as the mame.exe file is in. If there is no such directory then create one. once you exit an nv ram supported game in mame the nv ram file is either saved or updated depending on if its the first time you have loaded the game or not.
So I have come up with a way to use the highscore.dat file with a games nv ram file to save the highscore, as its much more reliable. all you have to do is DOWNLOAD the latest unofficial highscore.dat file from the download section and unzip it into the same directory as your mame.exe is in, then download any of the nvram zip files from below and unzip them into your nvram directory overwriting any existing files, which should be also in the same directory as your mame.exe file is in (if there is no nvram dir - create one !!). Once unzipped the game will save highscores as normal.
** NOTE :- THESE NV RAM FILES ARE READ ONLY FILES - DO NOT CHANGE THEM IN ANY WAY **
Webmasters please only link to these files. link:- http://www.mameworld.net/highscore
