@kalpitshah72 You can have a look into: https://greatstoneex.github.io/hi2txt-doc/doc/index.html The section "How to read high scores from a mame installation?" is giving you the needed information.

In short, you can launch, for the java version:

  1. go into the "hi2txt" installation folder (where hi2txt.bat is located)
  2. then call hi2txt: hi2txt.bat -hiscoredat /plugins/hiscore/hiscore.dat -r /hi/.hi hi2txt.bat -hiscoredat C:/mame/plugins/hiscore/hiscore.dat -r C:/mame/hi/ddonpach.hi or without check on hiscoredat validity: hi2txt.bat -r C:/mame/hi/ddonpach.hi

for the c# version, replace hi2txt.bat by hi2txt.exe

Is it clearer now?
