I couldn't find it, however I do have the code change that needed to be made. Not sure if this aligns with your version. --- End quote --- Haha. Sorry, I should have been more clear. Your code changes say JOEY, cause that's my name, and I posted the code for the ancient build. Once my LCDTopguns arrive I'll think about upgrading from (I think .92) to .104 :) Joseph Elwell. |

This isn't enough for me so I wanted to display the words "Game Paused" in the center of the screen. I realize this problem has been solved before in a older thread but that code change was for an ancient build of mame. For anyone running something this century you need only add this one line of code. I am using v0.102 of mame. So anything within a few builds of this should apply. Open cpuexec.c. At around line 482 you see this code: /* otherwise, just pump video updates through */ else { ui_draw_message_window("GAME PAUSED"); time_to_quit |= updatescreen(); reset_partial_updates(); } Just add the line in bold and recompile. All done. --- End quote --- ehhhhhhh.....how do i recompile mame? i dont think i ever compiled it in the first place. i just downloaded, extracted into a folder, and played games. ive seen a compiler util. on mame.net i think but how do i use that and will that mess up my mame.exe or .ini? |

If you insist. It looks like the instructions have been touched up since I did it, so maybe it's easier now. good luck, Joseph Elwell. |

Actually compiling Mame is a piece of cake. Check our Mr Do's destructions < -- =P here. http://www.mameworld.net/mrdo/compile.html Brad |
