New one for 113u1...and hopefully this one will work for many revisions to come....
-
Many thanks!
-
Very welcomed.
-
Many many thanks mkchamp
always appreciated :)
-
Sweet! Just compiled my version. With all these changes, time to update the cab...
Thanks!
:applaud:

Sorry for being a moron, but does this add actual high score functionality back to MAME so that savestates don't need to be set? Also, is there a list of games that support high score functionality? I didn't see anything listed on MAWS that had high score support info.
Thanks,
John

Yes, and Check this site out:

Havok, am I correct in assuming I can compile .112u1 directly with this diff as opposed to having to compile 112u1 first then hiscore.diff? Being that this incremental update, unlike normal, didn't include a diff (if I remember reading correctly).
-
Probably... this version of mame had so many re-arrangements that the diff would have been bigger than the source itself.
-
Yes. Just patch the diff with the hiscore update and compile...
-
I get this error:
C:\MAMESRC>patch -p0 -E 0<hiscore.diff
can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -r -c -N old/emu/cheat.c src/emu/cheat.c
|*** old/emu/cheat.c Sun Feb 11 19:43:02 2007
|--- src/emu/cheat.c Mon Feb 12 10:34:24 2007
--------------------------
File to patch:
I think I did most everything correctly in Mr Do!'s tutorial and I'm a bit puzzled. I can make the exe files and they work. But before trying that I dl'd the hiscore.txt file, changed it to .diff at the end, then placed it in the mamesrc folder and changed the patchmame.bat to: patch -p0 -E <hiscore.diff and I get that error though. I must be missing something hehe :dunno
-
Make sure that the patch file is in the same folder at the batch file OR put in a full path (I do believe that should work, but I always have the patch file in the same folder as the batch file if I remember correctly...forgive me...i've only done this 3 times thus far).

Did you get the 112u1 source package at mamedev.com, or are you trying to patch the 112 source? That diff is for the new architecture that was introduced in 112u1. ..it won't work for anything else.
-
Ok, I'm officially a goober on this one :laugh2: I patched the 0112s.zip before, so now I scrolled down to intermediate updates and got the 0112u1 and it works fine.
Oh well, I never compiled anything up until now, well except for some leaves in the fall, if that counts. :cheers:
-
Got mine all compiled and it went well but a quick game of ms pacman and my hiscore didn't save.
Do I need to use highscore.dat with this as well?
Edit: Another issue. I followed Mr. Do's how-to to the letter, but didn't get a new xml2info.exe to copy over. Is that normal?

Yes, you need the highscore.dat as well...works the same as it used to.
-
Hey all,
I'm new to this, so sorry if this question is a bit retarded, but ...
Can I use this with 112u3?
thanks,
Steve
-
New one for 113u1...check original post...
-
I just gotta say . . .anyone who doesn't take the 20 minutes to figure out how to do this is crazy!!!
High Scores save, eliminates all nag screens, pure beauty.
Thanks a million MKChamp :applaud:
-
Really...no need to thank...done on a purely selfish basis. I am NOT going to lose my 629,210 galaga score. That may be low for some peeps but it reins supreme at my house :-)
-
thanks again mkchamp - what had the devs done this time for it not to work ?

Nothing big...mainly just shifting of lines...and changed some crosshair logic(the diff defaults crosshairs to off)
-
Anyone else having problems compiling this version? I took the source and just recompiled it and it worked fine.
I patch the 0113u1.diff file and then patch the hi_113u1.diff and those seem to patch just fine. But when I try to compile it after applying the patches I get the error in the pic below.
Any suggestions or ideas?
Ok here's an update. In the first attempt above I was using the self extracting source files from the dev site. I decided to try using the zip file containing the source files. In the second picture I am getting a different error using the other source files.
Shouldn't these be the same files?
Encryptor
-
I've got nothing for you on the second error, but the first one looks like you didn't extract the diff file into the mame source dir - not only is there a diff file, there is also another file: src\emu\uismall.png
-
THX MKChamp !
Now leezer, where´s your update for hiscore.dat? :D

Sorry for the quick hijack here...
Question - Is there a way to reset ALL high scores to zero?
I would like to just have me and the kids scores for all games.
Thanks

MKChamp - minor request - it looks like you posted this to the same thread that used to have the 112u1 update. Could you maybe repost the 112u1 one and make the title 112u1/113u1 - That way people will be able to update any version of MAME to add your fixes back it. Better yet, round all the previous versions up and either sticky them here in one thread or on the wiki or some other site.

Kinda - You can delete the .hi files which will do the same thing as unplugging the real machine - All high scores will be reset to 20,000 or 40,000 or whatever the machine defaults to.
If the game has save state support, you might be able to play the game with autosave enabled, turn auto-save off, add hi-score support and have it start at 0. 1942 did this when I tried it, but it might have just been a fluke with this game, I wasn't expecting that to happen.

Tiger...that's probably the 'smart' way to do things. Unforunately, I don't have any versions except the 'latest' one. I've searched the forum for all the diff's I could find and renamed them accordingly. If someone out there still has the 112u1 diff they could post, then we should have them all.
I've attached all the rest here...
-
MKChamp - I believe this is 112. If you could check and verify that everyone will have it.
Encryptor
-
We should sticky this!

I've got that one!
Edit: The first one I posted is probably the same one as Encryptor's, but it is for 112u1, won't work for 112.
I searched through MKChamp's previous posts and found two more also - 111u1 and 111u4.
-
Thanks for finding the other diffs...guess my searching skills need some touching up. I'll start a new post with all the versions and only update that one in the future....

To be honest, since you have less than 200 posts, I just clicked on your name and click "Show all posts by MKChamp." I have a harder time finding things I posted myself a few months ago.

I'd love to compile the highscore diff, but I no longer have the source file for version 111 (which is the romset verison I'm using).
Does anyone know where I might find the old source files (or am I better upgrading everything to 113)? It doesn't look like 111 is archived yet on the mame site.
Thanks.

0.111 should use the 0.110u3 diff above (I think).
