      I have a Pi 3B with official power supply, running Raspbian Jessie and RetroPie 4.2.8, that I don't want to update. I need to reset Track & Field high scores, but can't find a file in /home/pi/RetroPie or /opt/retropie/configs. I can scroll to Dip Switches in MAME's Tab menu, but no key on the arcade machine, keyboard or mouse selects it.

        @SAVVYSCLUTTER For the mame2003plus that i am using, the HI score for a game are saved in a .hi file in this location: ~/RetroPie/roms/arcade/mame2003-plus/hi .

        My English isn't at a good level.

          @windg find /home/pi/RetroPie -name *.hi shows nothing. find /home/pi/RetroPie -name *.nv shows other games.

            Which arcade emulator are you using ? MAME is a bit vague, given the number of MAME based emulators available.

                The name of the emulator is shown in the Runcommand launch menu, after the rom name, between ( and ):

                  @mitu The launch menu is enabled but doesn't appear. I see an image with 'Press a button to configure' but pressing does nothing. How can I check the emulator or reset scores?

                    You enabled launching images, try to disable it temporarily to see which emulator is used.

                        @mitu Pressing a key after the image shows this.
                        System: mame-libretro
                        Emulator: lr-mame2010

                          In this case, the hiscores are stored under mame-libretro/mame2010/nvram/trackfld.nv or mame-libretro/mame2010/hi/trackfld.hi, try deleting both and start again the game.

                            @mitu I have no .nv files and only .hi files for other games. The folder is named mame2003, not 2010.

                              Reinstalling RetroPie fixed it.
