Where is MAME 0.137 ? Need a (source) copy if anyone has it

[shrunkenmaster]

Can't see MAME 0.137 (or 0.138 for that matter) on the mamedev site. Seems to go from 0.136 to 0.139. I need to do a fresh recompile - does anyone have 0.137s???

[jimmy2x2x]

Very odd, seems like they haven't got a 2010 entry in 'previous releases' yet

any particular reason you need that specific version, just curious!

[shrunkenmaster]

Hello Jimmy, my ROMset is 0.137 and I want to recompile MAME to lose the nag screens. I'm not sure if the ROMs will work ok with a newer MAME version and didn't want to waste a couple of hours recompiling for nothing.

I'm sure the files are there and in the right place, but the links may not be updated.  Just copy the link location to the current version and modify the version number to what you want.  It *should* work (it has in the past).

Hi bkenobi, not sure what you're saying here - there's no link on mamedev for 0137. Can you explain further please?

why not update your rom set to 139?

[bkenobi]

Change

http://mamedev.org/downloader.php?file=mame0136s.zip

to

http://mamedev.org/downloader.php?file=mame0137s.zip

That's what I meant, but it doesn't appear to work.  Fortunately, Encryptor has the correct answer!

[shrunkenmaster]

Thanks Bkenobi / push2reject - must been half asleep not to realise what you meant.

Thank Encryptor - that's a handy mirror to know.

WhereEaglesDare - could do, but I prefer sticking to a version that I know will run everything I want for this particular build. Actually DL'ed a 139 romset overnight for another project.

Just compiled Mame 0137 using the Mame Compiler 1.19 - compilation was successful, but I can't seem to find where it places the new executable. It's made a zipped Mame folder inside C/MinGW/source but all that's inside that is:

docs (folder)
src (folder)
makefile
whatsnew

Any pointers please, or am I just being plain stupid as usual??

[bkenobi]

Put the mame.exe file into your mame directory (I assume you already have one).  It replaces the one that mamedev's released.

[shrunkenmaster]

Thanks bkenobi,

If I knew where the mame.exe file was, of course I'd stick it in the Mame dir.

What I meant was I CANNOT FIND the .exe file that the compiler outputs. Where does the compiler save the recompiled version to? As I said before, there's no mame.exe file in the zipped mame folder that gets created by the compiler.

I am presuming the compiler saves the recompile in the Min/GW/source folder right? But all I find in here (after recompile) is: docs(folder), src (folder), makefile, whatsnew. There's no .exe file anywhere in here.

I've recompiled Mame before and don't seem to remember having this problem.

[jimmy2x2x]

My .exe is created at C:\MinGW\mame0139s\mameui32.exe

This folder opens upon successful compilation using HeadKaze's mame compiler 64 v1.19

My compile paths and options are shown here

[shrunkenmaster]

Looks pretty much the same as mine apart from the MameUI option. I've tried deleting everything and doing it again from scratch, but for the life of me I don't know what's wrong!

[jimmy2x2x]

I just followed these instructions http://www.headsoft.com.au/index.php?category=mame&page=mc64

Changing the version numbers as required, in this case 0139s for the full source package, no patches to apply with the exception of the high score diff.

I always compile mameui as it gives me an easy way to change mames global options, mameui doesnt hinder loading times or performance at all if run with command line arguments (from a front end for example)

No sure what might be wrong at your end, how long does the compile take for you? does it report any errors?

[shrunkenmaster]

Hey Jimmy,

I also follow the same instructions. I've never tried MameUI - does the frontend interfere with MALA (or whatever frontend you use) ?

Compiling doesn't report any errors either. I'm just about to try it once more from scratch...

[jimmy2x2x]

Works perfect with Mala, thats my current front end.
