      Hey guys- I'm hoping I'm missing something simple. I'm running Retropie 4.1 on a Pi 3 model b and using MAME 2003/MAME4ALL for my Arcade emulation. Is there a way to keep high scores and user data? NBA Jam is a perfect example- if I ever want to finish the game, I'll have to leave the game running for ages since it dumps my records when I exit Retroarch. Am I missing something simple?

        Unless you have an older RetroPie install, high scores should be saving in lr-mame2003 according to:
        https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/lr-mame2003#high-scores

        MAME4ALL I'm not sure about, but I would think you could add the same file or perhaps an older variant.
