Anyone run WolfMAME and MKChamp's Hi Score Diffs? Does it work? Should there be any problems?

I can build WolfMAME by it self but if I try to build it with the HiScore Diffs it errors out. Anyone else wants to give it a try?

Why would you want to?
WolfMAME is a build designed specifically for recording replays etc. for MARP.
To record replays you want the emulation to start in a known state, the same every time. This is why it's recommended you remove NV files etc. before recording.
The 'hiscore.dat' stuff hacks scores into RAM as the games are booting, thus putting them in a _non_ default state, exactly the opposite of what you would want and highly likely to cause a situation where you create replays which no longer playback, and have difficulty playing back existing ones.
Such problems and scenarios is one of the many reasons support for hiscore.dat was removed in the first place, I'm not really seeing why you would want to readd it to a build specifically designed for recording replays.
