T08. Why doesn't my favorite game save my high scores?
Most of the games that actually saved the high scores in the arcades, have the high score saving supported in MAME. However, not all did. There is a way to get them to save high scores though, by getting a HISCORE.DAT file and placing it into the same directory as MAME.
Note that some games (like many Atari games) keep only the top three high scores; lower scores are deleted. This is faithful to the original arcade games.
Se non conosci l'inglese vuol dire che devi scaricare il file hiscore.dat per salvare gli schores dei giochi che nei coinop orginali non li conservavano e devi metterlo nella stessa dir del mame.
Il file lo trovi
