How do I enable high score support in MameUI64 0.207?

MameUI 0.207 has a "plugins" directory with a "hiscore" plugin in it, but there isn't any "plugin.ini" that I can use to enable it, nor any setting for it that I can find in the UI.
How do I enable the high score saving plugin that comes with MameUI64?

There should be a plugin.ini file in your main directory. Open that and add a "1" to the hiscore section and save. Also, make sure you have the latest hiscore.dat file in your plugins/hiscore directory. That's pretty much it.

Unfortunately, that didn't work -
- I got the latest hiscore.dat from http://highscore.mameworld.info/download.htm and put it into C:\Program Files\MameUI64\plugins\hiscore (after unzipping the archive, of course), overwriting the copy that came with MameUI64
- The MameUI64 download doesn't come with a plugin.dat file, so I created one in C:\Program Files\MameUI64 and put "hiscore 1" in it
No luck; high scores are not saved. (I tried it with "Pac-Man (Midway)" and "Pac-Man Plus".)

You didn't read what I wrote - it's plugin.ini. It comes with all standard MAME distributions.
The contents of which should look like this:
Code:
#
# PLUGINS OPTIONS
#
cheat 0
cheatfind 0
console 0
data 0
discord 0
dummy 0
gdbstub 0
hiscore 0
layout 0
portname 0
timer 0

You are wrong in this case. plugin.ini is NOT distributed, it is GENERATED.
Standard MAME packages from mamedev.org do not include plugin.ini. It is created when you run "mame.exe -cc" or "mame64 -cc" or "mame.exe -createconfig" or "mame64.exe -createconfig" at the command line.
I just checked with MAMEUI, it will generate plugin.ini in its home directory when you run "mameui64.exe -cc".
Not sure if it works, MAMEUI did diverge in some places from the standard MAME distribution.

Hey, you're the guy who owns the MameUI Github repo! Thank you for your efforts!
It's looking like hiscore support isn't working in MameUI64 0.207 (see my other posts in this thread). I don't see anything obvious in the repo to support it (though maybe you don't have the Mame core in there?). Not a big deal; just wanted to make sure you know.

Thanks for the correction Stiletto. I always build my own source from the git and always did the -cc, I wasn't sure that was one of the generated files. If that is the case then the o/p can do the same.

You should also try enabling save-state support.

As you probably already noticed, the standard MAMEUI interface currently has no way to enable this (so not via 'Options' -> 'Default System Options', for example).
However, you can still get to the internal MAME interface in MAMEUI, but it takes a little effort :
1.)
Start a commandline in Windows. For example, right-click on 'start', select 'run', and enter 'cmd'. (or, windows-key+S, type 'cmd', and click on 'command prompt'). You should now have an open prompt.
2.) Use 'cd' to go to the directory where you installed MAMEUI, for example :
Quote:
cd C:\Program Files\mame
3.) Start MAMEUI by typing the following command :
Quote:
MAMEUI64 ___empty
(there's 3 underscores there).
You should now see the internal MAME interface. From there, you can choose the "Plugins" selection (just above Exit) and then toggle ON the option which states "Hiscore support".
That should be it.

On mameui64 213, tried this, ran -cc, it created plugin.ini, changed option to 1, downloaded latest .dat... but still, at least for "frogger" it doesn't work. I'd do a high score, quit, rerun the game, and the default hiscore table will be there...
