MAME Compiler 64 v2.0.197

--- Quote from: Dustin Mustangs on March 11, 2008, 04:09:36 pm ---I'm trying to get rid of the left-right nag screens on v0.104u6 (the actlabs lightgun version) and am kinda confused. I believe by this version the -skip_disclaimer option was removed so I will need to recompile to remove these. I also believe that this version still has hiscore support so there is no hiscore diff for me to use. I have searched and searched and can't figure out how to handle this version which I am pretty much stuck using. Some posts seem to hint towards me having to modify the source by hand and then recompiling but they don't seem say where and what edits are needed. Am I on the right track here? Is there a post that goes over these source edits??
I can't seem to figure this one out and this seemed like a beneficial place to put this question and (hopefully) answer. Thanks for any help.

Yes...
I was just going to ask about this myself!.. ;)
You beat me too it!
I will have to try this!
@Dustin
Have you managed to confirm whether
the 104 build listed on
http://mamedev.org/oldrel.html
will even work with Act Lab guns?..
as compared to Act Labs version: 104u6?
This will be awesome if it will work for
Lightguns and we can re-compile with this tool!
[edit] Well I read that other thread but....
In this version of Mame there is no
"src\emu\ui.c "
Any other sugestions? I'm sure many lightgun users
will appreciate this. :) [/edit]

Crap. I didn't think about the fact that the actlabs version isn't likely the standard 104u6 release. Is there any way to tell for sure? I noticed the one who is credited with putting that version together is a member here. I wonder if he would be willing to put together a .diff for the required source changes? What a big bump in the road this could be...
:hissy:

I tested that version last night...
No Go... :(
When you start Mame it displays the Date and version.
The Act labs Mame and the on Mame.net are
indeed different versions.
The one on Mame.net will not work with
Act Labs "currently anyway".
However I have found a hidden diif on the Mame Server
that is named 104u6.
I have tried to Apply it to
The MAME.NET 104 source to bring it
up to 104u6....
I get nothing but errors; well even if it had worked
that still would not have fixed Our Nag screen problem.
I just hope someone here on the forums
does indeed have a soultion for Act Lab gun owners.

You'd need to apply all the diffs up to u6 (u1, u2, u3...) for it to work, not just the one you want. I'm pretty sure the version on actlabs site has a modified source so this will not work unless we are able to figure out what mods are needed up to this point or get a diff that takes care of it for us. The actlabs site gives credit for the version to one of the mame devs. From what I understand he won't likely be willing to help us with something that will be used to rid mame of a disclaimer so I don't think contacting him about this is a good idea.
I messed with this a bit today and have found a couple of work arounds. For one, this version does have the option to skip game info (it's almost at the end of mame.ini). This makes it so you only need to do the left-right buisness the first time a game is played. From then on it just goes right into it. Also, one of headkaze's other apps called cpwizard (which I highly recommend regardless) has an option that will send mame the keystrokes for you. You still breifly see the screen(s), but they disappear without any input from the user. I am using a combo of both and it is working great.
Sorry for taking your thread on a tangent headkaze.

So ive downloaded the source for mame 0123, and want to apply the hi_123u5.diff, before doing this do i need to download 0123u1, 0123u2, 0123u3, 0123u4 diffs and compile them before compiling hi_123u5.diff, or can i just go straight to compling hi_123u5.diff?
