Hey guys,
I've been trying all day to compile MAMEUI but can't seem to get it to work. All I really wanted to do was compile a version of MAME that forced DirectInput. I followed the instructions by Mr.Do, but when I run makemameui, I get an error that says "mingw32-make' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I'm not sure exactly which instructions you refer to, but that particular message means you don't have MinGW (http://mingw.org/) installed correctly. Specifically, make is used by developers to automatically compile and link several code files together.
If you have already installed MinGW, make sure the bin directory is in your path (http://serverfault.com/questions/10848/how-do-you-add-a-folder-to-the-windows-vista-system-environment-path#10853).

Yes, I recently compiled to get the hi score stuff and came across the same issue. I think that the makemame batch file is incorrect. Edit the makemame.bat file and change the "mingw32-make" with "make -all". It took many hrs to compile though, so go grab several Dr Peppers instead of just 1. :)
