high score and initials?

Post by bkeez » Thu Oct 04, 2018 5:47 pm

I'm about to make my purchase, but wanted to double check that the Raspberry JAMMA set up will save high scores and initials for each game. Thanks for the help!!

Thanks,
Brittany

Hi Brittany,
in the end that comes down to the individual emulators. Most of the MAME versions included with ARpiCADE support high score saving. FBA has limited high score support on a range of the games that run well in FBA. Offhand, I think it's only MAME 0.192 that doesn't currently save scores. The most popular versions of MAME on RPi all save high scores.

Hope that helps,
D
