It would also be great if you were doing a 64bit compile and and error -99 was reported that the compiler automatically restarted itself rather that the user having to guess if they are supposed to hit Go multiple times or not.

There is only one version of the source archived in two different ways, one is a self-extracting exe, and the other a zip file you have to extract manually. Both contain the exact same files.
Comon it's not that hard to press a button a few times. Next you will want me to come over and do up your shoe laces every morning ;D

As for the files, the first time I tried to copy them, they were being updated on the server.
"MAME 0.123u2
February 21st, 2008
Another update to MAME 0.123 has just been posted on the updates page. Have fun checking out the Naomi progress and other cool stuff!"
As for hitting go numerous times, I'm just trying to make helpful suggestions. The whole point of the your process is to automate the compile. Having to hit Go again is just unintuitive. If you are going to have your software do something so odd, the instructions should show on the program, not in a place that only users of a certain message base will see. Someone might not have even access to the internet during the install, especially in a MAME machine that probably doesn't need internet access. If the docs are installed somewhere on the user's hard drive, there should be a link to them in the start menu group.

Yeah I understand I was just making a joke. I did actually think about doing that just haven't got around to it.

Hey headkaze. I can't seem to get MAMEUI64 to compile as I keep getting the following error:
Compiling src/osd/windows/strconv.c...
LIBCMT.lib(gs_cookie.obj) : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'AMD64' conflicts with target machine type 'IA64'
mingw32-make: *** [obj/winui/vmame/osd/windows/vconv.exe] Error 1112
mingw32-make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

mingw32-make: *** [obj/winui/vmame/osd/windows/strconv.o] Error -99
Finished!
0 Hours 0 Minutes and 0 Seconds Elapsed.
This comes up no matter how many times I hit go. Any suggestions?
Edit: Nevermind. Got it working. I had been messing around with my compiling environment and screwed some things up. I re-installed my MinGW folder and everything now works fine.

Well, I got everything compiled, but I'm still having problems. When I tried running MAME, everything was super slow. It was completely unplayable. Hitting the esc key took over 30 seconds to exit a game. I thought I might have screwed up the compile somehow, so I downloaded the official binaries and had the same problem. I'm running 64bit Vista with a 2.8ghz AMD dual core chip with 4gigs of ram. Did anyone else have a similar problem?
TheShanMan:
If you had the same problem with the official binaries then I suggest starting a new thread to get help. This thread isn't the place, and you're likely to get more help in a new thread anyway. Hope you get it figured out though!
