I suggest Mr. Do's fabulous guide http://mrdo.mameworld.info/compile.html
but yes, you'll need to recompile mame, make sure you apply the patches in order u1 first then u2 then your hiscore/no nag diffs.
did you unzip the updates prior to trying to apply them?
wcndave:
Same problem.
I'd be interested if this works for you, as i'd rather keep things up to date.
Why do you have to compile? is that your personal preference? can one just download mame0.147u2.exe?
Updating ROMs using clrmamepro also seems simple at first, then gets rather complex, not been able to complete using any step by step guides...
If using different mame from FE is the easiest way in the end (might be the quickest for now), how do you do this?
eg: i have a folder called ROMS0146 and a folder ROMS0147
I have mame0147.exe and mame0146.exe
now in MaLa, you select the mame executable, and the rom folder.
the mame executable location then determines all the mame.ini and control files etc.. no?
if so, how can you have two sets of locations?
Thanks
Dave
Hoopz:
This is a good Clrmamepro tutorial to upgrade rom sets to different versions.

If you want to run more than one copy of Mame for different versions, just set up the 2nd version as a separate emulator in your Front End. You can label it as Midway Games (or whatever) and in the setup, point the FE to the executable for that version of Mame. Put the roms in their own directory and label it whatever works for you (Midway roms). The FE will now show you regular Mame with everything and you will also see the new emulator showing just Midway games.
BadMouth:
Or just wait for the next full release.
Or accept the nag screens. If it's a working game, they are only there the first time you launch the game anyway.
You can find an already compiled version complete with nag screens here:

If you don't understand MAME enough to compile it and understand the impact of revisions, you really shouldn't be using a no-nag version anyway.
You'll end up on here asking why this and that game don't work when there should be a big red box on your screen informing you that it doesn't work.
After messing with this stuff for a while, it will start to all make sense.
