nvram...HELP

I played the game of my life on "indytemp" and scored over a million. Someone tried to play it and noticed that it needed nvram. I deleted the entire directory over a month ago, and now it re-created itself. How can I keep it from screwing up my scores?!?

The official MAME zips contain the folders MAME uses by default, so when you installed a newer version of MAME, this could have re-created it. One way around it could be to have MAME look for NVRAM in a non-existant folder for NVRAM. For DOS MAME, look in mame.cfg for the 'NVRAM =' and change it to a folder that doesn't exist. For Win32 CLI MAME, look in mame.ini for the same sort of thing. MAME32 should have some sort of option for changing directories.

Thanks Buttermaker. I decided on something similar already. I delete the mame\cfg and the mame\nvram directories when I bat into each game. I use:

rd cfg /s/q
rd nvram /s/q
mameapp %1 record %1

and save each game. It works now.

Thanks again.
