Chunce DeLeone:
thanks for the quick response!!!!!!!!
I got it, the problem was I was using the Hi 109hi diff and not the 109u2 hi diff, but when I run mame from a comand promp I am still getting nag screens, it tell me to press ok and then has the game info???? isn't that supposed to be removed?

The diff performs the following:
1) Adds hiscore support back into MAME
2) Removes all nag screens
3) Removes loading messages (decoding/decrypting/Updating Artwork, etc.) and the 'white box' when loading. (This was added to the diffs starting with hi_120)
4) Disables crosshairs by default. You can turn them back on in the game with F1
5) Tab button(menu) also pauses MAME and 1 acts as 'Enter'. Remove the inptport.c section if you do not want this(or just remove it from the ingame menu) This was removed starting with hi_124. You can configure this in the in game menu.
For help compiling MAME, please see Mr. Do's excellent page. He's made it so simple, there's no excuse not to compile your own!
http://www.mameworld.net/mrdo/compile.html
You can also get Headkaze's MAME Compiler to make compiling even easier. Great app for those not too familier with making your own builds!
Also, you will need the hiscore.dat file by Leezer in your mame directory. You can grab that over at http://www.mameworld.net/highscore/
...and don't forget to create a sub folder under your mame directory named "hi"...that's it!
Here's the guide for what diff to download (change extention from .txt to .diff) Also, if you don't see your file attached to this post, check further down. Only 8 files per post allowed)
**Please note that Pitou found a bug with this diff causing MAME to not recognize the refreshspeed option. This was 'fixed' starting with hi_124**
Starting with hi_124, all modifications are preceeded with comments detailing what is occuring. You can search the diff for "MKChamp" to find all the comments.

If you are patching a intermediate update version of Mame (or 'u' release) you must also patch Mame up to the 'u' version before applying the hiscore patch. You can download them from here.
BTW I recommend not to use a "u" version of an older Mame version. You will notice that pinned topic for the hiscore patches at the top of this forum only have the official releases now (no 'u' version patches). So I would download the hi_109.diff from there and start again from scratch using mame0109s.
And RTFM does help :)

Sorry guys still a little unsure what I missed here, I patched from u1 to u5 then did the Hi Diff all for mame109.....is there still supposed to be the OK nag screen and game info screen?

If you read learning will come. Like I said forget the "u" versions of Mame. I've updated Mame Compiler 64 and removed the "u" diff's. So uninstall Mame Compiler, download the new version and install it again. Then just download mame109s.zip, extract it to MinGW\source\Mame0109 and hi_109.diff to MinGW\patches. Click the [...] buttons to browse to these folders. Apply the patch, then compile by pressing the GO! button.
