Hi All I've noticed that some games (i.e Bubble Bobble) don't save the hi score by default. To get around this, I have enabled "Automatic save/restore" under State/Playback Options. However, this doesn't seem to apply to Hellfire. Is this a bug as I would have thought this should have work...

Hi abelenki

Nice one. Thanks for the link.

Has it ever been considered that roms (arcade or consoles, etc) could be loaded from the context menu? Currently, it seems very hit and miss if I can get a game running via the softlist (the name has to be exact) but I'm more successful using Mame's builtin file manager.

Thanks again and the link is very usefull.

Thanks for the tip. May I ask how you know what name to call this rom? (so I don't have to keep asking here for other roms). It has got further by loading something now (Insert Game) but is complaining about the rom which may be the reason.

In MAME's Internal UI you can go into custom and use an add filter option where you'll see Parents is a selection choice. From there you can have any combination of filters utilized which should achieve exactly what you want. The UI maintainer should simply take the parents option and slap it on th...
