I'm having a strange problem when compiling 0.179 for Windows x64. Everything works perfectly, but when I use the compiled file, exiting Mame gives me rubbish text output. I've tried compiling with numerous options, but it happens even when compiling without changing anything at all - installing fresh compile tools and untouched source files doesn't solve it. Never experienced this before, I think.

And this doesn't happen when using the pre-compiled version, so it boils down to being something that happens when I compile.

Anyone know what this is, and how to fix it? It's not a huge problem, as everything else seems to be working perfectly, but something obviously isn't right.

I get the same issue but the random text output occurs when MAME is started. It's probably the same for you but you will only notice if you run MAME in windowed mode. How are you compiling MAME?

That's probably true, never checked that way.

I use the compile tools from the mamedev site. Tried several different options, all give the same result. Tried both the untouched compiler tools, as well as updating them after installation.

Edit: It all compiles without errors, as far as I can see. I'll check again tonight and see if there are any warnings.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I used the Mame Compiler 64 to compile 165 with no issues, but when trying to compile 179, nothing works. First when trying to apply the patch, I get "PatchDiff(): The system cannot find the file specified" (even though the Diff Patch File path is correct). Ignoring that, if I try to compile without the patch, I get "CompileMame(): The system cannot find the file specified" Under General Options, my paths look right: they're the defaults, and I've downloaded the MAME source and the build tools, etc. I've tried clean compile checked and unchecked and no love.

I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but I have no idea what it is. Any suggestions? (This is on Windows 10 running on an older i7.) Thanks!
