HyperLaunch Exits and Mame Highscores

[ophelius]

I noticed that if you use Hyperlaunch to exit Mame, the highscore feature doesn't seem to work well, or work at all. This is true because Hyperlaunch causes Mame to not shut down the correct way, or so I read. But I need Hyperlaunch because I want to use a joystick to exit, which can be done by adapting the Autoit script. Anybody know if there's some modifications I can do to Hyperlaunch so that Mame exits correctly so that I can benefit from keeping my highscores and use my joystick? Thanks

Change this line:

Hotkey, %exitEmulatorKey%, CloseProcess

To:

;Hotkey, %exitEmulatorKey%, CloseProcess

Make sure that whatever key or button press you are using is set to exit MAME in the configuration options for MAME. MAME calls this the "Cancel" or "UI Cancel" button.

I guess if I can simply set the exit sequence from mame, then I don't have to use Hyperlaunch for Mame which would allow me to save highscores. I'll try that out, thanks.

Correct. You don't need Hyperlaunch for MAME at all.
