--- Quote from: lettuce on July 28, 2007, 12:45:49 pm ---Ok now im not sure if im doing this right. Now i have the source of 0.117, so i should follow Mr Do instructions and get 0.117u1.diff, and edit the patchmame.bat to add this 0.117u1.diff and the use patchman. After ive done that step do i need to use makemame, or do i have to get the hi_117u1.txt and edit the patchmame.bat again so it uses hi_117u1.txt, then after thats done use makemame, or do i have to use patchmame then makemame for 0.117u1.diff then repeat again for hi_117.u1.txt???

You have to do all patching first and then run makemame last. So this part of your question is true:

You probably should start with a fresh (empty) mame source files and folders if you feel some part of the patching was done incorrectly.

I believe there must be something wrong with the hi_117u1.diff posted near the top of this thread! As i made 2 different compiles of Mame, one i followed Mr Do steps and compiled my Mame 117 to mame 117u1, copied the 8 new files to a temp directory. I then compiled my mame 117u1 with the hi-177u1.diff and then copied this to another temp folder. I copied the files from my first 117u1 compile to my mame directory and it worked fine, but obviouslty without saving hiscores. I then deleted the 8 files i copied to my Mame directory, and replaced them with the files from the hi_117u1.diff compile, when i did this, i could not access any of the sub menus in the tab menu screen. So what can be in the hi_117u1.diff that disable you accessing the sub menus, i think it disables the enter key

Hey hey,
In the hiscore diff, remove the lines STARTING with:
diff -r -c -N old/emu/inptport.c src/emu/inptport.c
to RIGHT ABOVE
diff -r -c -N old/emu/mame.c src/emu/mame.c
So, basically, it won't 'patch' the inptport.c section which changes the tab and enter keys.
This is my personal diff, and I have it where tab pauses and brings up the menu and 'player 1' key is my enter.
edit:
OR you can use the "1" key for enter...while you are in the options menu, you can then change the enter key from "1" key BACK to "enter"...and change pause from tab AND p to just P...or whatever you want.
Just deleting the default.cfg file won't fix it because at this point it's 'hard coded'...but changing the values from the options window will create the default.cfg with the new values.

ok cheers, ill give it a go. Looking at that section in the Hi-117u1.txt can i not just change the key that is used for enter? That was if i could see it there, which i cant, or maybe even copy that part from the plain 0.117u1 diff file, or would that not work?
