Re: Galaxian High score not saving - advice?

But if you use MAME's -autosave feature, it does not get "turned off" when you exit. Next time you start the game, it resumes exactly where you left off including high scores. Of course when you update MAME to a new version the Save State is usually invalid so you have to start over.

To the original poster,

Update to the latest MAME and make sure you have this in your mame.ini file...


Code:

autosave                  1
