      I cannot get high scores to save in libretro 2016 All of my advance-mame games save, but the lr games do not. Maybe I just need to know where the file locations are for hiscore.dat? I've looked everywhere online with no result.

      All my other games run in advance-mame and work fine. Everything is in the arcade folder.

        Do you have the same issue with lr-mame2003?

        I had issue many moons ago and replaced the hiscore.dat file with the one at the link below. I never tested 2016 though. It looks like the .dat file isn't needed anymore as each game has a .hi file saved in the roms/arcade/mame2003/hi directory. Maybe 2016 is the same path (up to the mame2003 part anyway).

          @stoney66 it looks like my mame2003 games are saving but not mame2016. There was not a hi file in 2016 so I created one with no luck.

          I have already downloaded highscore.dat and tried it in several locations but none work. I just need to know where to place that file then maybe it will work. Or at least it would be nice if someone can confirm high score saving in mame2016.
