mame 141u1 error, fix?

[lastrega]

Hi all, I asked a question a few weeks ago, and never got a responce. So maybe it got lost or overlooked,soI will kindly ask again:)   I installed MKchamps 141u1 with the save data and skip intros enabled..... I set it upand it works nicly. However if it saves hi score data, it will cause my mame display to reset to its default setiings..... is there a fix for this or do I have to patch a newer version of mame?  And also it made alot of older games lose sound effects,like asteroids, and moompatrol........ I do have the samples folder in tact:)  thanks for any help on this... ... ML            PS good work MKCHAMP

Update: Ok I think the problem lies within the patch..... I made a new version using Mkchamps links on this forum. This time I made it myself, instead of his pre compiled version. I used Mame 142 this go around. It compiled perfectly (thanks Jimmy by the way , your directions were fantastic)... and I get the same issue... when a new save is stored in the "hi" folder it will cause the next game played to reset back to default screen settings, all other setting are not affected.... In my case this is bad, considering 92% of my games run in dual screen cocktail mode, and you have to use a key to access my 3rd control panel to access the mame menu button.

So I think mame don't like his hi score patch, or at least for cocktails:(
On the bright side of things by using version 142 it restored my sounds to all old school games.... that problem was in Mame 141u1.......
Does anyone know how I can reach Mkchamp directly..I am hopeing he can help me with this issue... I am not good with forums, and his web site directs me to here, but where?............ Any help would be greatly appreciated..........ML

Hey, Sorry to just now respond to this. You can PM me and it sends an email...
The video reset was pointed out to me (video screen orientation) and was fixed in 142u5. If you can compile with 143 or later (the u versions), you'd no longer have that issue.
