Sorry for the delay. My PC where I do all the code and compile bit the dust and I lost everything. I've uploaded the 171 patch...have fun!

Hi guys,
You may have heard of this new development:
https://github.com/cracyc/mame-hiscores
Description thread at MAMEWorld:
http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=351252
I talked to MKChamp about this new development and he says in light of this, so long as the new script is as bug free as the previous hiscore.dat patch, he may discontinue hiscore.dat sourcecode patch maintenance in the future in favor of this script that does not require recompiling MAME.
MAMEdev is hoping that this and other scripts like it are the beginning of a thriving third-party Lua script community. We can't wait to see how other enthusiasts use this new feature.
It should be ready to go officially when MAME 0.172 hits, but you can take it for a test drive now if you can compile latest GIT. :)
Cheers!

Thanks for the info, it looks promising.
For the time being though, I think I'll stick with the hiscore diff. Time has proven it's reliability and a significant amount of time needs to pass to prove the new lua hi score script is reliable and mature enough before I'll change over. I'm always open to being convinced otherwise.
The other concern is if the new hi score script removes nag screens or if anyone is developing a script for that. I have a cabinet setup with Hyperspin shelled to hide Windows and dont want nag screens since it kinda ruins the effect I'm going for, that is, the feel of a real arcade machine.

Hi MKChamp. Thanks for always being so quick with new patches for the mame updates!!
Having a problem with 0.172 patch though. Compiling on linux_x64 (sdlmame), and getting the following error:
--- Code: ---/src/osd/sdl/video.cpp: In member function ‘virtual void sdl_osd_interface::update_hi(bool)’:
./src/osd/sdl/video.cpp:299:25: error: ‘sdlinput_poll’ was not declared in this scope sdlinput_poll(machine());
--- End code ---
