MAME Compiler 64 v2.0.197
xefned:
It's working great with version .145!
For beginners like me having trouble, here be snags:
Q.) I compiled but I'm still getting nag screens, WTF?
A.) Don't forget to click Apply Patch over at the left before you click Go. It's easy to miss.
Q.) I apply patch and something about chunks? Patches are skipped, WTF?
A.) Be sure to point to the directory with the Make file, not the src directory.
Hope that helps!

I am trying to compile mame147u2 (with hiscore patch/no nag screens) and something is going wrong. When I attempt to apply the u1 diff, the compile screen never seems to finish working. Last time, I gave up at about 90 minutes. I have followed all of the directions to compile standard MAME (i skipped the ui steps).
I took a two pictures while the screen was scrolling so that you can get an idea of what the problem might be. Thanks in advance.

It looks like you have tried to apply the patch twice or something. Delete the source and start again.

I tried a few more times and it still doesn't work. I'm almost certain that I didn't try to apply the diff twice. How long should it usually take to apply the u1 diff? I'm assuming far less than 90 minutes.
Could the problem be that I am directing the compiler to the wrong folders? Obviously, I had to change the default 143s to 147s.
Another thing that I notice is that the speed of the scrolling slows down as more time passes. After about an hour, I could almost read line by line as they pass by.
gman314:
I did it! I compiled both 147u2 (no nag/hiscore) and 127 (no nag/hiscore). I noticed a slight ambiguity in the readme file. When you extract the mame127s.zip or mame147s.zip files into c:/mingw/source/mamexxx/ this results in a file called mame.zip. It was necessary for me to extract this file and point the source folder (in mame compiler 64) to the folder that you extracted these files to. I just put them in the same folder as the mame.zip. The thing is that there is a file called "makefile" that the source needs to point to. :cheers:
