Compiling groovymame [fixed]

[funkycochise]

Hi there,

I'd better to open a dedicated topic for that, instead of flooding haynor666 distributions topic.   

So, I took my both arms and tried to build that GroovyMame myself.

I follow that guide :  http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=348.0
and I succeed in building current 0188 version (obtained with git), untouched version.
I went ahead, copied 0187 source folder and modified it with MkChamp no nag patch.
http://mamestuff.lowtrucks.net/MKChamp/suppression_0187u0.txt
I Start the build "make" and I've got that mame64.exe as expected :



Confident, I tried to build groovy version. From sources repository, I saw latest version is for 0186 version.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1vsJyOrRLucX0VZZkthR1AwN2c
So, I downloaded 0186 sources, and made it ready as I did for 0187 previously.
I got the diff avalailable : d3d9ex.diff and 0186_groovymame_017d.diff



There, I patched the sources with d3dex.diff :


I already got some failure.

that continued with groovy.diff :



complete log attached :

And finally, after make process using make -j3 :



restarting from scratch with mame0186 sources patched only with groovy diff leads to the same results.

What am I doing wrong ? I rely on your wise advices, guys.

I'm away from home for the next couple of days with just my phone for company, so my ways to help you are limited. But I managed to compile 0.186 (and 0.187 using prev patches) using MAME Compiler 64. Just make sure you are starting with clean source files and patching in the correct order. GM, D3D9EX, Suppression. Note, if you are compiling an arcade only build then there's an extra patch required to allow this. Pretty sure it was linked to at the time of release on this forum.

Same errors for me.

[Calamity]

The d3d9ex patch is applied AFTER groovymame patch. And you no longer have to use the --binary option in the patch command.

[funkycochise]

Thank you for the tips :

I did patch using this kind of patch command :
patch -p0 -E <D:\msys64\patch\groovy.diff

I also tried 'Mame Compiler tool' from Headkazes
http://headsoft.com.au/index.php?category=mame&page=mc64
And it also gives good results without having to use the command line.

PS : For some MK champ files, I had to convert them to UTF8 to make patch executable not crash.

Does anyone know if MameCompiler is using the official build tools?

[funkycochise]

I believe it can’t work without.
I first installed it before I tried mamecompiler.

[Jonny G]

Yeah it does. You can download them from within MC64. All the other downloads are way out of date however.

[trennel]

Have some problems her compiling, switchres errors :-/, need the 0188 64bit version, anyone care to share pleeeease

[Jonny G]

There is currently no GM 0.188. The previous patches don't work with the new source. Far as I know anyway.

[Calamity]

I've uploaded an updated diff to google drive. I won't upload binaries by now as I'm on a mobile connection.

[Jonny G]

Thanks man! I'm guessing the D3D patch from 186 should be OK. Just hoping I can build an arcade only version without having to mess around with manually editing the source like last time.

EDIT.

No messing! Cheers Calamity, will give it a proper test in the morning.

[haynor666]

Thanks Calamity for patch. I'm affraid there are new changes towards 189 so new patch will be needed for groovymame 189.

BTW. Maybe we could compile binaries and upload to your google drive ?

[Calamity]

I've tried applying 0.188 diff over current git without issues.

If anyone would like to compile binaries I can give him access to the drive. I won't be able to compile and upload stuff till September.

[haynor666]

Diff is applying fine but:

[funkycochise]

same for me,

No worries, I'll fix that the release.

Hi guys, one question.

What does the d3d9ex patch do?

I only want an updated groovymame for my arcade cabinets (PIV, Radeon 9200 AGP//Radeon HD PCIe, Windows XP//Windows 7).

Hallo,

here is a Groovymame 0.188 build arcade only 64bit D3D9EX with supression patch:

http://www.jammaplus.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=84915&title=groovymame-0188

D3D9EX is a video-mode for windows 7 and higher, which has less video-lag.

is it possible you post your diff, please ?

[raibol1]

Hallo,

I´m sorry, that´s not my build. I just found in on the net.

It´s from user JonnyG who is also active here in the forum (D3D9EX patch is from 0.186).

In my 2 cabs this build works very well. (Intel E8600, Win 7, 64bit)

Any diffs required are on Calamity's Google Drive, or on MKChamp's site.

[funkycochise]

 you didn’t experience the same error as we did,
haynor666 and I ?
maybe the diff for groovy is fixed since.

edit : same errors.

[haynor666]

Calamity put 188 patch so I'm not suprose than  188 is available as well.

You might want to stick with 0.186 or 0.187 for now...

Hello,

I'm trying do compile myself GM.
i wonder many things :

1/in src, should i put mame source code, or GM source code ?

2/if it's mame, so i read i have to patch GM diff then d3d9x
but about switchres ? is it included in GM.diff ?

3/where can we find the latest 0.229 GM.diff and ded9x ?

4/about MKChamp diff (nonag) can i use it "as it" (if version matches i mean find the 0.229 diff) or should i convert it for GM ?

thanks.
Fred.
