While you seem to simply not read the responses you get (not even if it may assist in troubleshooting the issue or gets you a partly solution), you also seem to simply keep asking the same first question over and over. And while reading back my own posts, I seem to at least know that not all games support highscore saving, and seem to have offered a partly solution of enabling 'automatic save states'.

Without offering any details of what MAME version you were using before, or what MAME variant (official release or otherwise), or with which games/machines you were having the issue with. Or at least not until you were asked twice. Details like that matter.

What MAME variant is used, be it the official release or otherwise, is important. Some MAME variants are heavily modified from the official release (or are based on very old official MAME releases), resulting in the fact that a bug may occur in said variant but not in the (latest) official MAME release.

True. But they weren't responding, so I decided to try and help you out.
