hiscore diff (with no nag/white box removal)
h0tw1r3:
Now that hiscore support is back in mame (https://github.com/mamedev/mame/tree/master/plugins/hiscore) is there any reason for this patch to include hiscore support?

Once it's completely ironed out and has the full support of games as in the current hiscore.dat, then you won't see this patch updated anymore. I can't wait!

Yes it will be great to not have to maintain the Patch :applaud:
<UPDATED>
In the meantime I thought I'd let you know current observations of Nag/Loading patches under 0.172 SDL.
Nag patch enabled
1. Disables Nag Screen (As expected)
2. Disables Loading message but leaves white box (Not expected)
Loading patch enabled
1. Disables Loading message and removes white box (As expected - As long as nag patch is not enabled!)
2. When Nag patch is also enabled (typical) it causes the white box to be displayed (See nag patch point 2)
Also noticed in Mame 0.172 is the omission of the Legal Rom Requirement - Not sure if this was on purpose or not.
* Not sure if this has been an issue with previous releases - As I have just jumped up to 0.172 from an earlier release.

Not sure why the Nag screen patch should affect the Loading message. ???

I came up with my own patch for uxme because these patches never actually removed the white border. It appeared to work because when all messages are hidden the white border is never rendered. If any message is displayed before the machine starts, a white border will still be rendered.
Here's my take in patch form: https://playground.btolab.com/sandbox/kb/arcade/emulation/mame/mods/version/0.172/skip-messages-and-remove-white-border.patch.source
Provides three separate options: skip_loading, skip_warning, and render_border.
