Hey guys

Just seeking some guidande

We're using an old raspberryjamma with pi2 and older arpicade

We wanted to
1. Remove high scores saved
2. Disable high score saving

Most roms are running i think it was in 106 folder maybe

I read this on another older post on the old forum

"High score files are found in their respective MAME folders in /home/pi/ eg. /home/pi/.advance/hi/ or /home/pi/mame172/hi/ etc."

Are these folders on the linux partition that i cant access in Windows? If so is there like a tool or program i can use to access that partition to delete those files?

Also where would the setting be to disable score saving

Thanks heaps

I can't remember offhand for certain but the scores for mame106 are likely somewhere in /home/pi/.advance/ on the Linux partition that you can't access (easily) via Windows.

There is some Windows software called Paragon that some people here use to be able to access the second partition.  It can mess your build up though so I'd make sure you have a backup image before using it (and use the newest version of Paragon).  Otherwise you could do it on the Pi from the command line.

Similarly the high score saving can probably be disabled in /home/pi/.advance/advmame.rc

Sorry I don't have more concrete answers, not sure which version of ARpiCADE you're on but it must be old... so much has changed over the years without having a look myself at the older build I'm not sure of the particulars anymore.

Thank you so much. I was able to delete the save file using Paragon in that file directory, which has reset the score, but i wish to disable it permanently if its possible (even just for R type for example)

Whereabouts in the advmame.RC file can i disable saving scores, i couldnt find it anywhere when i opened in notepad. Im looking for the wrong thing probably but am struggling to find the right info in google.

I also found i am able to reset scores via entering the 'service' menu at the main game menu, before going into any game selection (choosing reset all mame high scores), but no GUI option there to disable the saves permanently.

I went into the game itself / which goes into advmame of course, e.g. R type, pressed TAB in there to search any options for advmame for that game - again couldnt find save options.

Id prefer just to kill the auto save score feature altogether even if its for all games or 1 game. thanks for any insight.

Thanks
