Any updates Headkaze?

I successfully compiled 0.170 + hiscore patch in MC64 a while back.

Did you read this post? If you're receiving an error message what is it?

I did.  Still couldn't get it to work.  It looks like MAME 0.171 just released tonight so I guess I'll skip 0.170 and hope that 0.171 works out better.

Thanks,
Jason

I wonder what the difference could be.  Even on a new Win 10 x64 laptop I ran into all kinds of problems.  I wonder if some of us are enabling/disabling certain options in the compiler that lead to some of us having problems. 

Is this still the current flow for instructions as per the website?

How to compile Mame with the Hiscore patch:

1.Click the Downloads tab
2.If this is your first time running Mame Compiler put a tick next to Build Tools
3.Put a tick next to Mame Source and the Hiscore Diff Patch
4.Click the Download Selected button and wait for the files to finish downloading and extracting
5.Click the Diff Patch tab
6.Click the magnifying glass icon to browse and select the Hiscore diff patch (Eg. hi_163.txt)
7.Click the Apply Patch button to apply the Hiscore diff patch
8.Click the GO! button to compile

I had a .NET error come up during the extraction process.  I clicked continue.

Will update.

After clicking Continue on the .NET error screen, the download and extraction process continues, but the OK button never goes active...stays grayed out.  I waited for an hour and it never changed.  Is the 0.171 diff file updated in this build?  Mine still shows 0.170.  Same behavior as previous version for the most part.  I uninstalled the compiler, deleted the source folder, Windows temp folder contents, rebooted.  Started clean.  Same issues.  Haven't even been able to click "Go" yet to compile.

Thanks,
Jason

How can I get the hiscore function to work?  I downloaded a copy of the hiscore.dat file and placed it in the "hi" directory, but it's not saving the high scores.   I also compiled a UI version and I don't see the "Enable Hiscore Support" under miscellaneous menu item.

Anyone can help?

Tried compiling on a different drive. It ran for about 35 mins and then I got the following error:

make[2]: *** [../../../../mingw-gcc/bin/x64/Release/mame_mame/libmatic.a] Error 1
make[1]: *** [matic] Error 2

I'm giving up on this tool.  I'm getting inconsistent errors and tried everything.....doesn't seem to make any sense why.  Tried re installing, re downloading, recompiling...etc.  No go...

I wouldn't give up yet.  This tool has worked smooth as butter with past releases.  Not sure why so many problems have surfaced all of a sudden, but hopefully Headkaze will get them figured out.  It's so easy to compile MAME using this tool and it would be a shame if it went away.

Thanks,
Jason

Is the 0.171 diff file updated in this build?  Mine still shows 0.170.

Not until MKChamp releases a 171 patch. I only include MKChamp releases in MC64. Right now the 170 patch does not work with 171. Apparently there is an updated version in the GroovyMAME thread you can download in the meantime.

FINALLY!  Got it to work.....after a few runs.  What I did was had to re download the files, checkmarked on Clean Compile, and recompiled.  Also downloaded the 0171 hi score diff and it works.  Now trying to see if I can get the UI to work  as well, but running into the same problems, but will redownload files and try the same sequence that I did to get the regular compile to work.

Okay let's start from the beginning...

1. Delete your "buildtools" folder
2. Click the "Downloads" tab and click "Download File List"
3. Click "Update Mame Compiler" to make sure you have the latest version
4. Put a tick next to:
   ✓ Mame 0171 Source
   ✓ Hiscore Diff Patch (for now you can skip this because a patch for 0171 is not available yet)
   ✓ Build Tools
5. Click "Download Selected"
6. Wait patiently for the download, extraction and file copy to finish. If MC64 stops responding just wait. If the OK button is greyed out it hasn't finished yet.
7. At this point you would usually apply the "Hiscore Diff Patch" but we will skip this step for now
8. Click the GO! button*

* NOTE: If it fails try pressing the GO! button again (I had to twice)

Not working for me. About half way through the build tools extraction, I get a .Net error. If I hit continue, MC64 will sit on 100% file progress once everything is extracted, with OK greyed out.

I can't really recall exactly, but what I do recall   having to redownloaded the 0171 package and pressing the GO button.    If it fails, press the GO again.  If it failed, I recall re downloading the 0171 package, and pressing Go again.   I had to do that a few times, and it finally finished and compiled properly.  It's weird I know, but it worked for me.   

Could you post the EXACT steps and sequence that you used to get it to work?  I will try to replicate.

Thanks,
Jason

The only things that I did differently was to download and extract the build tools myself. I also used the 171 patch from the GroovyMAME thread.

According to the error a file is locked because it is in use by another process. Try rebooting your PC.

When?  This PC/MAME cab is rebooted every day.  I've done it several times after uninstalling and reinstalling this software as part of the troubleshooting process.  This also happened on a clean Windows 10 64-bit machine.

I noticed that the MAMECompiler64 folder within that path is not removed by the uninstaller and contains almost 4Gb of data.  I'm blowing that folder and it's contents away as part of the uninstall and cleanup process to see if it makes a difference.

I haven't.  Not sure where to go from here.  I'm close to just downloading the complied 0.171 64-bit/no nag screen/high score version from Hyperspin.   I just can't get this to work for some reason.

That's what I end up doing.....it works like a charm!  Not sure what the advantage is doing the compile way in this case.  And besides, the one from hyperspin has the no nag screen but if you were to compile your own, it will have the nag screen, so..

MAME 0.172 is just released. I couldn't get 0.171 working with MC64. Hopefully 0.172 will be supported again. I will try this afternoon and report the results here...

Yes, of course. The key was to delete the old compiling tools completely and then let MC64 reinstall the latest version. Like headkaze said, you need to start the compile, let it stop, and then do it again and it will compile just fine. Works perfectly.

Do you think the GCC needs updated? My message area states mine is GCC 5.3.0. and mine does not state "GCC version 4.9 or later needed" anywhere in the logs.  Maybe make a new folder name for the install of the buildtools?  I don't know anything about writing code, but I am on win7x64 and MC 2.0.171 complies the latest .172 source with the nonag/hiscore + defender 8 way diff patches.
