My name is Rando, and I Compiled! And still have questions...
Rando:
Man,
I must be an idiot, cause for the life of me I can't figure out where to even start to compile. I'm running MAMUI32, I'd be happy to run regular MAME if it were easier. I've been to Mr Do's page, I've been to other pages, and it's like Spanish to me.
I want to get rid of the nag screens, and I think use the hiscore thing if it does what I think it does which is to save hi scores in games that try not to each restart.
I tried to start earlier tonight, I downloaded and extracted something, thought I killed my system because everything ran SUPER slow after doing that. Restart fixed my issue there, but I'm no closer to where I was.
Maybe I should do a step a day. Is there a Idiots IDIOTS guide to Compiling?? :hissy:
Generic Eric:
This is fairly close to step by step

Kangum:
generic erics post is the easiest way. its not that bad. you run the installer. once that is done you download the 144 mame source and set its path in the program you installed. then just make sure you download and apply all the official difference files in order THEN apply the newest difference file from this website last before you hit compile.

Don't feel bad, Rando. I tried following the directions, got errors every time, then gave up and used the headkaze compiler program and it worked.

+1. I've never figured it out, using various methods. I eventually... found... ;) a version that had what I needed, which was basically no nag screens, etc.
