MAME 2003 Plus - Dip Switch changes not saved

I tried a couple of different roms with MAME 2003 Plus: i can change the Dip Switches but as soon as i exit the game and reload it, the Dip Switch settings revert to defaults.

That sounds like it could be a bug.

Could you please post details about what happens as an issue on github? https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/issues

  • What hardware and operating system you are using
  • What games you are trying to use
  • What dipswitch change you make that doesn’t stick

I am using latest Retropie with Mame2003Plus and all files updated 1/11. I run Wizard of War, change a few Dip Switches and when i exit and go back the Dip Switches are back to the defaults. The same is true for Wizard of War, Asteroids and all the other games i tried.

Attached is the folder layout. Only the lone Hi folder in the middle mame2003-plus folder is updated and hiscore saving works, the other folders are empty.

It seems that setting “Activate MAME remapping” in the Options menu solves the problem.

Thank you for following through on this, it will help other users in the future.

Eventually I would like this dipswitch save to work with the MAME remapping core option enabled or disabled, but there are some things I evidently do not understand yet about that part of the code :wink:
