Ever since the latest revisions of MAME, the History tab on MAMEUI is not displaying anything, even though I have the up-to-date history.dat file on MAMEUI's root folder. What the hell is happening?

Does an older dat work?
If it does, then wait for the next update or maybe MAMEUI doesn't read it anymore since MESS and MAME were merged, and probably the dat was too?

Where can I find older versions?

I have an old one from last year: www.sendspace.com/file/6753c9If this one works, and the newer one doesn't, then I guess you're gonna have to use the new MAME that has MESS included, because that's the one the history.dat is made for now. They probably changed the .dat format to accommodate the new systems. Maybe you could go to the MAMEUI forums and check or ask about support for the new .dat?

Didn't work.
I use MAMEUI32, by the way.

I guess the dat changed format and your mame is too old then?

I'm using the most recent release (0.167).

Maybe things have changed, but years ago the MAMEUI team said they were not going to update MAMEUI anymore, as in, they were not going to make any new additions to the emulator other than new/updated game drivers.
So if the history.dat changed, it probably doesn't support it anymore. Go to their forums and ask just in case.

So, the problem was that, for whatever reason, MAMEUI now doesn't reads the dats from the root folder. Had to move it to the proper dat folder for it to work.

Ah. It's better that way. Less clutter.

I've tried moving history and hiscore datts to several folders, even tried creating a DAT subfolder in mameui but it still doesn't work. p.s. what game does your cool avatar come from?

There should be a "dats" folder, there is where it goes.
The avatar is from Cho Aniki.
