Since the compiler is used to update rom sets from version to version, at least that's what I have understood it does from this and some other posts, I think that's the problem I have been faced with.

I just wanted to understand more about the .diff process and what steps should be taken for a v122 to v123 UI upgrade.

Ummm, you couldn't be any more wrong than you are right now. MameCompiler is a program that takes the source code of MAME and compiles it into the executeable. It in no way whatsoever does ANYTHING with the ROMs. The "diff" files you have read about are files that update the source code from one version to another. Once again, there are absolutely ZERO bits of ROM Data in the source code.

Once again, MAMECompiler is software that compiles the MAME source code into a functional executeable and nothing else. ;D

OOhhhhh... I understand now how this item works. TY.

This posting sent me in the wrong direction I think. :dizzy:

So what then would one be looking for to update the rom sets from v122 to v123?

Jdurg:
You would need to find some ROM Managing software and then find the updated ROMs that would be required. You're on your own with regards to finding the ROMs since it's against the rules to ask for them, and it's illegal to download them.

Games001:
Hence why I asked only how it was done, not where to find the roms themselves. :) Thanks.

Hi to all. I register to th forum just for this amazing program. I used it to compile mame v123, and apply the hi_123.diff patch It worked excellent but I have a problem with the compiled version I made.
When I press tab in the emulator to see the menu there, I dont see the letters of tha menu , I cant see what it write to select one. Why is this? Is it a problem because i apply tha patch hi_123.diff ?
Is this happens to all ,or just me? Can I do anything to solve this?
And another question. How can I compile the mameUI version with this compiler? Can anyone tell me what must I do for this? Or it cant be done with Mame Compiler 64 ? I copy the extra code for mameui to the folder
C:\MinGW\source\Mame0123 , but it didnt worked, i still created the simple version mame.exe
I did it by doing what i find there http://www.mameworld.net/mrdo/compile.html , but i try to do it with your
program as it is much more easy.
Thanks ,
