and set the compiler optimize for "none"

You have to start fresh from scratch. No big deal, it takes like a minute to re-download everything. I would delete headkazes' compiler and the mame programs you have, then follow the compiler instructions from the start. Re-downlad the source code, re-download the diffs and set the compile optimize for none.

When I first tried to compile my own version, I had some fits too, but then headkaze replied to start from scratch and optimize for none and it worked like a charm. It takes like an hour to compile

Does MAME compiler require .net? I know I installed a program recently that required .net 2, but I am not sure if this was it. I am at work, so I can't look it up right now.

no, mingw doesn't requre Microsoft .NET.

Ok - starting from scratch got headkaze's compiler to work - ~~BUT- after following the instructions I get this error when I click GO:~~

Code: [Select]

Compiling Mame...
mingw32-make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
Finished!
0 Hours 0 Minutes and 0 Seconds Elapsed.

I'm using the 1.17 version of the compiler.

Any ideas?[/s]

EDIT: I must be blind - I tried it again and I figured out what I did wrong. I unzipped the source file into the correct directory - BUT I did not know/notice that the ZIP I downloaded from MAME dev contained another ZIP file!

Once I unzipped that file and ran it again - everything worked as advertised.

Never compiled MAME before, followed the instructions in post 1 of this thread, and used Headkaze's compiler (again following the instructions on his download page).
Had it all done and dusted in around 45 minutes, now exactly as it says on the tin, I've got MameUI0.141 with no nag screens and high score support. Brilliant

Thanks loads to MKChamp and Headkaze, this will make my mame box so much cleaner. Chuffed

Quick question... is it necessary to compile your own Mame if I just want to enable high scores? It looks a bit complicated. I don't really care about the nag screens, but I would like to save the high scores. Can't I just create the "hi" folder and copy the .dat file?

There are several pre-built versions of mame floating around that have those already compiled in:

official MAME doesn't support this, that's why this patch was introduced in the first place. you have to compile it yourself.

I tried 2 different pre-built versions last night. I installed Mame, then just replaced the mame.exe file. Is that correct? In HyperSpin, when I want to start a game, the screen just flashes and goes back to the menu. I can start mame separately as well, but when I select a game, it flashes and goes back to mame. Am I doing something wrong?

WhereEaglesDare · « **Reply #571 on:** January 20, 2011, 07:31:18 am »

That sounds like it could be bad roms.

Try to run it without any frontend. Do they work there?

Nope, but it works if I just use the original mame, without the pre-built exe file. So the roms are fine.

Donkbaca · « **Reply #573 on:** January 20, 2011, 11:44:59 am »

You have to completely delete the old mame, the new one is getting confused, I would install it in a completely different place and point to all the folders in the old location.

Man, Do you have the hiscore.dat file in your mame folder ?

milhouse · « **Reply #578 on:** February 02, 2011, 11:27:11 pm »

Anyone seen this issue?

I followed Mr. Do's instructions to the letter, and everything works up to and including patching the v141 source with hi_141.diff. When I try to run MakeMame, though, the system can't find mingw32-make.

I've edited the bat file to update the path, but it doesn't look like mingw32-make is in the updated path (C:\MinGW\mingw64-w32\bin) or in anyMinGW subfolder for that matter. I have now tried on two different machines.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

You guys are too quick for me :-)
I think it would have worked still. The only thing that failed was do to a space.
At any rate, 141u2 is ready. Download and go.
And thanks for hosting........

edit...I tried to be quck like yall...it doesn't work. I'll get it going and post back when it's all good. Whiskey..activated.

I'm trying to compile using headkazes compiler v1.2 and mame 141u2 with the highscore diffs. I get this error at the end of the compile and have no mame.exe or anything?

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Update: Okay, I managed to get 141 with no updates compiled correctly, obviously it is something to do with they way I'm applying all the updates..??

Pitou · « **Reply #588 on:** February 17, 2011, 11:25:05 pm »

Hi MKChamp,

It seems that since 0.141 refreshrate doesn't work anymore.

I remember reporting this 2 or 3 years ago and you did fix it correctly.

Is it possible that the same problem is occuring again?

Thank you.

Pitou!

EDIT: After some extensive tests, I think I found the problem. Mame 139 works fine, but not since mame 140... It seems that the refreshrate parameter is not taken into account anymore.

kaptainsteve · « **Reply #589 on:** March 01, 2011, 08:05:33 pm »

Hello,

I ran into a couple problems compiling mame with Mr. Do's page.

1. He never says anything about a patch.exe file. Unless I am mistaken, you need to put a patch.exe in the mamesrc folder and you must get that here;

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/patch/2.5.9-7/patch-2.5.9-7-bin.zip/download

2. Where do you start w/the Diff patches? For example, I am compiling 141_u3 and I've downloaded mame src 141. do i start w/patch 140, then u1, u2 and finally u3 or do i start with 141_u1?

3. What do you do when you apply .diff patches and you get a previously detected patch message??? Do you click y or n?

4. It says on Mr. Do's page to type in "Makemame" but that does not work. You must type in "Make" only.

Thanks, and any suggestions are welcome, please.

************

Think I figured it out. With the update .diffs, you only use the hiscore update for the last one, and you use the regular mame updates for the previous.

WhereEaglesDare · « **Reply #590 on:** March 01, 2011, 10:28:03 pm »

Just compiled mame 141u3 with the high score diff, but the result exe crash. It seems to be worse with galaxian. It works about 1 out of 2.

Any idea?

I have not turned on any optimization. I never had any problem before. Very strange...

I just uncompress the source, then apply the patch and do a make -j3

Anyway, I'll try again.

Pitou!

Pitou · « **Reply #594 on:** March 15, 2011, 09:32:54 pm »

I just found out that by setting this:

disable_nagscreen_patch 1

Of course I get the "white box", but I can now start Galaxian 100% of the time. No more crash.

Pitou!

Trying to compile 0141 and having a problem. I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion? I am not a complete noob and have compiled sucsessfully in the past. I have tried both the old skool Mr Do's method and HeadKaze's MAME Compiler and have the exact same error message with both methods.. I have no problem applying the hi_141.diff (it patches just fine). The error is upon compiling and happens within 10 secs or so. Here is what I am getting. ANy help would be greatly appreciated. The c:\docum~1\KEITH is my documents folder. What is even causing it to look there for anything?

'C:\DOCUME~1\KEITH' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
The system cannot find the path specified.

try any other drive and don't compile on C:\
If you have to buy a USB flash or use external. For me trying to compile on win 7 using C:\ is always problems because some directories have lock icons even with UAC disabled and logged on Admin account.

Thanks MKChamp for new diff same day as mamedev release source update. Thank you very much for your work
