Nice little app. Hopefully, this will please the people that would have benefited from the *cough* binary *cough*.
I added the white box/decoding/decrypting/updating/etc. removal to the hicore diff. There's a new one posted as hi_119u2, it actually can be used in place of the hi_117u3 (for versions 117u3 - present) but was generated and only tested with 119u2.

The hi_119.diff included in the Mame Compiler archive had to get created manually. I tried applying hi_117u3.diff to 119 then adding the disclaimer skips manually. It produced a really strange diff file. So I went through modifying it manually using the hi_117u3.diff in a text editor. The resulting diff looked right this time (20 KB instead of 100 KB +).
I also had to add a -w switch to diff for removing whitespace. So the command I was using is
--- Code: ---diff -w -r -c -N old src >hi_119.diff
--- End code ---
Not sure why I had to add that switch while you didn't. Are you using the Unix version of diff or something?
MKChamp:
The reason the diff that it created was so huge was because when a patch is applied to a version that had 'little' changes here and there from the version the diff was created from (117u3) what it does is create a "~" copy of the file it patched. So, then when you diff the new source, it sees new files (the ~ ones) and creates them in the diff. Since those files aren't called in the make file, they don't affect the compile.
