jevansoh Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I'm having a problem getting Mame to save hi files. I'm trying to get HiToText working, but have failed miserably. I'm using the latest version of Mameuifx64. I had a friend give me copies of his .hi files just to see if they would show/load and they do not, whether launching directly from Mameuifx or RocketLauncher. I got a high score in Galaga, entered my initials, and then exited out of the program (launched via RL) by pressing esc which is my exit emulator key. The hi file wasn't created and the next time I loaded Galaga my score wasn't displayed, just the default scores. So I can't test and don't know if it is working because I can't get Mame launched via RL to save high scores. What can I do about this? Also, not in this guide, but in other instructions, I see where I need to edit hyperlaunch.ahk, for some exit wait command or something like that, but I don't have that file in my setup. Is this something I no longer need to do? Thanks, --Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapig Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Have you switched on hiscore support in mame? It is now a plugin and needs to be activated either in the mame.ini or the GUI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansoh Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Yes, I have. It's just a checkmark in the settings in Mameuifx64 and I've double checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboo Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I believe we can show hitotext on hypermarquee as well, right? I think I have seen that option when I was messing around with it. If so, any tutorial or hints to show it on the marquee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need paths set to mame in HyperHQ. @badboo yes I have it showing in HyperMarquee but as an overlay on my main monitor as I only have a mini marquee.

jevansoh Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Yes I did follow the guide and I cannot get past number 6. It states sometimes launching through RL won't allow the hi scores to be saved, but it doesn't say what to do to fix that. That's the problem I'm having.

More things that spring mind and may be worth a try. I've not needed to do this but maybe set mame with admin rights. Try a different version of mame just to see if it's creating the hi file. I use arcade64. Do you have just the one mame.ini which is in the ini folder? How many files are in there? If only 1 then please post it here via paste so we can check it.

jevansoh Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I borrowed some "hi" files from a friend just to see if I could get it to work, and it's not displaying high scores in HyperSpin or using those "hi" files in Mameuifx and displaying high scores there, either. For instance, I have a "HI" file for 1942, but when I load 1942 it says the high score is 20000, the default, and doesn't even read the hi file. ??

griffin518 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 43 minutes ago, jevansoh said: I'm using Mameuifx64 .171. Looks like you're dealing with a MAME & ROMset mismatch which might be contributing to the issue... 0.171 and 0.182 were released almost a year apart and somewhere in there I know that hiscore was changed a bit. I'd suggest finding a 0.182 build of Arcade64 (FKA MAMEUIFX) or MAME proper and trying it out to see if that's what's going on. @gigapig FYI - we've been having a similar discussion over here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansoh Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 So my rom set is 182? That means I need a Mame 182 or an Arcade64 182, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
