Help Compliling Grooveymame with RacerMame

[ArcadeBliss]

Hi,

I am trying to compile Grooveymame 0.160 and I am running into problems. I have downloaded the mame 0.160 source, applied hi_160.diff and then 0160_groovymame_015g.diff. After applying 0160_groovymame_015g.diff I receive these errors:

Code: [Select]

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

I am using Mame Compiler 64 v.2.0.162 with the current build tools. Can someone help me to successfully compile this version of groovemame? Thanks!

Why aren't you using the new diffs and source (0.162)? Which hi_score diff are you using, the one from my site or from MKChamp's?

[ArcadeBliss]

I know this is going to sound stupid but I have version 160 right now including all of the ROM sets that are necessary for it and I just want to make sure I have a test bed that I can use that's why I chose. The hi and grooveymame diffs are from your site.

Recent versions diffs are problematic because the new tools suck with line endings. The diffs for v0.162 are safe have been fully tested regarding this. Your romset should work for 99.99% of everything.

[ArcadeBliss]

Alright alright. I I'll update to 0162 and give it a try

Edit: so compiling 0.162 worked without a problem. Now I am dealing with with two patch errors from my racermame diff.

I will try to manually change the files by hand.

So I created a patch just for racermame that builds upon the hiscore and grooveymame 162 patch. I am compiling it now and will do some testing tomorrow.

Awesome work, ArcadeBliss! 

Keep us posted!

[ArcadeBliss]

So everything is working. I am in contact with the original author regarding publishing the new diff. If he allows it, I will post it here for human comsumption

Great news ArcadeBliss, I wish you can make this available.

So I finished the compile and received the ok that I can distribute this diff. In the video options slider of mame, you can select the CShifter to show an alternate virtual shifter onscreen. When using the CShifter video option, the artwork files will need to be placed in your mame artwork folder.

Cheers.

This is great, thanks!
