hiscore diff (with no nag/white box removal)
mikea213:
using the patch from the last one since the last few patches havent changed any but the name of the file. I can make a mame64 from it that works perfect but if I do a Arcade64 I get a box its not hiding when loading a game. I figure it has something to do with those errors Im getting.
TapperP:
I see. No idea. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can offer advice.

Ok, I'm trying to update things, but I've hit some roadblocks. Since the instructions at Mr. Do just point now to the Maindev.org tools page, I followed the instructions on that page.
I did successfully install the environment and compile a standard version of MAME.
The problem is I don't know how to actually apply the diffs.
I did install the cygwin tools mentioned back on Feb 1, 2018. I then download the supression diff, and change the extension to .diff and put it in the src directory. I tried running both patch programs (03-patch-diff and 04-patch-binary-diff). It asks for the files, but then:
--- Code: ---[MINGW64] G:\z_compile\msys64\src>03-patch-diff
[MINGW64] G:\z_compile\msys64\src>set /p fname=Enter filename:
Enter filename: suppression_0217u2.diff
[MINGW64] G:\z_compile\msys64\src>call ..\win32\env.bat
[MINGW64] G:\z_compile\msys64\src>patch -p0 -E 0<suppression_0217u2.diff
can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -Nru oldsrc/emu/render.cpp src/emu/render.cpp
|--- oldsrc/emu/render.cpp 2019-12-25 12:10:11.000000000 +1100

--------------------------
File to patch:
--- End code ---
I tried specifying "mame", but that did nothing.
I did try the simple command "patch" but that seems to cause the compiler to produce blank lines waiting for an input.
So what silly little thing am I doing wrong? Am I running the wrong command? Putting the diff in the wrong place? Or is there something specific I need to enter for "file to patch?"
Also, I remember there used to be options to set for an AMD or Intel processor (probably others too.) Is that still a thing, or are the versions pretty much the same now?
romshark:
Ok, I found the answer on the previous page. As long as I made sure to use the latest MAME source code and diffs, it worked great. Also compiled a heck of a lot faster than the "MAMEdev" instructions, probably because these instructions state how to use all my processor cores for compiling.
