hiscore diff (with no nag/white box removal)

[abelenki]

Should be good to go now. Thanks again for the hosting!

awesome, thanks for the updated diff!!

[Hammerfist]

I did everything according to the instructions (I think), downloading the newest source and aplying the newest diff. After that I applied the 147u1 hiscore diff and started compiling. Everything goes well, untill almost in the end, I get about nine errors (sorry, can't paste them here yet, since I'm not at home) complaining about drivers and listing names of some games. Then the compiler exits with error 1. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? Thanks!

Ok, so here is the list of errors I got:

A user on the MAMEWorld forum appears to have found a bug in the hiscore patch with the "disable_loading_patch" option...

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I re-uploaded hi_147u1 with the fix to correct this. Obviously, not that many people use other modes like cocktail, so it's been slipping through for quite some time.

[abelenki]

just wanted to report that hi_147u1.diff works fine with MAME/MESS 0.147u2 source tree, just some warnings, but compiled ok.

Uploaded 147u2 to get rid of the warnings...not that they affected anything as you pointed out. And thanks again for hosting the files!

Hello,
 
thanks a lot for such wonderful thread, this is my first post and am trying to compile mame 1.47u2 with the addition of this hiscore diff but am getting compile errors. Please note the diffs from the mame website compile without problems.
I'm on windows7 64bit have the 1.47 source, patched the u1,u2, hiscore diff for 1.47u2. I use the wingw32bit as per the tutorial found at the xpadder website (xss).

Please find attached the compile error I get.
Thanks a lot for your help

Luca

never mind, re-extracting the source from the zip file did the trick!

Hi I posted earlier in this thread about compiling MAME with the nonag/highscore patch using 0.147 source

For the time being I've just been using a Windows box to apply the patch and compile on linux (ubuntu).

Someone earlier in the thread replied that there's a linux utility however I cannot seem to find it, I don't even believe there's one from all the searching i've done.

So if anyone out there has successfully compiled mame with this patch on linux, please let me know how you did it, Thank You.


Edit: to make this much more detailed, I have included the error messages I am getting.

Go into MAME source directory and use "patch" command:

Code: [Select]

$ patch --binary -E -p0 -i /path/to/hiscore.patch

[Saki]

You are awesome.

[abelenki]

hi_147u2.diff doesn't work with 0.148 source tree.

EDIT: thanks for the diff update!!

[edekoning]

The first post lists the hi_score diffs for all mame versions, but they do not list/specify individual mame updates. So if I download hi_145.txt, does that only apply to mame 0145 without any updates? If so where can I find the hi_score diff for all the individual mame version updates, e.g.: 0145u8?

[abelenki]

If so where can I find the hi_score diff for all the individual mame version updates, e.g.: 0145u8?

diffs for updates are only available during the current cycle (e.g. 0.148u1, u2, etc.). then they are replaced with full version diffs.

Just compiled 148
Nag screens are gone but played a quick game of Galaga... got high score... reboot... back to defaults.

Is there something else I am supposed to do?

>>>Disregard. For some reason my highscore.dat was missing.
It's all good 

[Ansa89]

A bit OT (but not so much): where can I find an updated version of "highscore.dat"? And also, does someone still updating it?

[edekoning]

check here: highscore.mameworld.info/

it seems the latest is v0.143u9

[goldfisch]

someone has 0.147u3 diff for me?
Thanks

[abelenki]

hi_148.diff works fine with MAME/MESS 0.148u1 source tree, just some warnings, but compiled ok.

Confirm.

[isamu]

so these files get rid of the "warning: this game blah blah blah" screen?

Bookmarked

[abelenki]

so these files get rid of the "warning: this game blah blah blah" screen?

yes.

[lockdown571]

Bummer, I can't seem to get high scores to save, at least not for Burger Time.

I'm pretty sure I compiled everything ok because mame is working fine as well as the warning screen skipping. I put a folder named "hi" (without quotes) within the same folder as mame.exe. Also put hiscore.dat in the same folder as mame.exe. I'm running 0.148u1.  Also, I'm launching from Hyperspin if that makes a difference.

Anything I'm missing?

Edit: My b, I think I might have found the answer to my question here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,106660.msg1130366.html#msg1130366

Edit 2: For future reference, in Hyperspin use "normal" execution for Mame instead of "Hyperlaunch". Then, to set the exit key (if using something other than Esc) go to "UI Cancel" in the Mame interface control options.

* abelenki is patiently waiting for hi_148u2.diff...

[arquillos]

Thank you MKChamp!
   Keep up this great good work.

No more patience needed 

[abelenki]

thank you!!

[saloonstudios]

Given that nobody answers I guess this isn't as stupid as I thought? I grepped through the source to find it out but I can find "hiscore.dat" only once and that is in a comment. This confuses me. Where is he looking for that file? I have it compiled but it doesn't work and I think it is because of that file which is in the wrong place. But where to put it?

Did you ever figure out where to place the dat file?

EDIT: I should've quoted his first post too, this is for (x)/(l)ubuntu compiling. He tried ~/.mame/ to no avail?

[abelenki]

hi_148u2.diff works fine with 0.148u3 source tree.

[Ansa89]

hi_148u2.diff works fine with 0.148u3 source tree.

Confirm, also on linux.

[abelenki]

hi_148u2.diff works fine with 0.148u4 source tree.

[Ansa89]

Trying to compile right now.

[mathdufort]

Trying to compile right now.

Still compiling??? hehe

[Ansa89]

No, all went good so far.

[Ansa89]

hi_148u2.diff doesn't work with 0.148u5 source tree.

[Ansa89]

I tried to fix the patch.

thank you!! diff and compile seem to be fine.

[MKChamp]

Thanks Ansa89...I've added it to the front page. Saved me some time!

[Ansa89]

You're welcome .

[wolfsoft]

I tried groovymame 0148u5 and compiled the diffs to u5 and the your u5 diff
i put in the current highcore.dat in mame root... and highscorepath is created
but it didn't generate hiscore files in the hi path... and eg. pacman is not saving the highscore.
nagscreen and loading patch is working...
Do I miss something?
