How do i update mame 110 to mame 110u1 Command Line windows vers. ?
I know the files are located on mamedev.org, but im not sure how to update it with that .diff file.. can someone give me a step by step guide  :dizzy:

it says In addition to the official release, the MAME team periodically releases updates to the most recent official release. These are packaged as diff/patch files and should be applied by switching to the base of your MAME source tree (where the makefile lives) and executing:

patch -p0 -E <diffname.diff

 im not sure how to do that

Why not just wait for stable releases? I don't bother with the "u" versions.

If you really have to apply them, then follow Mr Do's Compiling Mame for Dummies (http://www.mameworld.net/mrdo/compile.html).

I'm with Headkaze - the "u" versions generally are more buggy as they are introducing new features and code. If you are messing with the "u" versions, put it in another directory so if your favorite game gets broke, you can easily switch back.
