Hey ho
I'v been using GXMAME as a GUI frontend for XMAME for a while now. It works great.... Except for a few minor issues. For example, I have specefied the location for my hiscore.dat file so the path is correct, the permissions on that file are 644. Still GXMAME don't record my hiscores in that file. Does it work for you guys? Or am I missing an option. Or maybe GXMAME just suck?
Any ideas.
I know this is a minor issue, still I can't find any info on this matter. Thanks in advance.

I don't think it sucks  . However, XMame doesn't store hiscores in hiscore.dat. That file only tells XMame how to get score data from the emulation. The hiscores themselves are stored in some other directory somewhere (Usually called "hi").
So you need to tell GXMame the path to hiscore.dat on the "XMame additional paths" tab, and tell it where to put the scores on the "User Resources" tab. |

Sorry for the long delay on my reply.
The tab you are describing,"XMame aditional paths", is the one where I specefie the hiscore.dat file. Which I have done. I sit supposed to be a path to a directory? Not a file?
