Title: MAME compile, "Write to Eshape..."
Post by: Pingaloka on February 08, 2010, 08:27:35 am

Hello guys, Iv'ed been building my own arcade from the beggining, a TAITO typer arcade style "Zoo Keeper". I will post soon ,my work.
Right one I'm trying to configure mame, recently I'ved compiled MAME32 so no initial screens appear, and so "high score" support is added.
The new compiled version works fine, but there is a problem, in some games while I'm playing a message appears at the bottom:

"Write to ESHAPE register detect - please inform www.mametesters.org (http://www.mametesters.org)"

Could anybody help whith this issue??

thankx!

It's just a message that only appears when you compile with "DEBUG=1".  I'd suggest not using this for gaming compiles.  Not only with the message disappear, the performance on your game will increase greatly without debug stuff.

There is no need to report this, it's covered:
