Just a thought...

True enough. I'm already adding fourteen options to MAME, what's the big deal about one more? I guess it won't be too difficult to add a "-moviesnapdir" directory.

also, when I attempt to compile mame with the changes, I get a mame that recognizes the new switches but doesn't act on them???
What am I doing wrong? ???

I don't really understand "doesn't act on them". Are you calling mame with -makemovie on the command line or makemovie 1 in your mame.ini? If not, the movie won't be created.
Try moving your compiled version out and replacing it with my precompiled binary, changing nothing else, then see if you get the same result. Then post what command line you are using as well as the relevant parts of your mame.ini.

I dropped the new compiled version into the spot where your compiled version was, and it doesn't complain about the invalid switches, but it doesn't save snaps or close, it just keeps running until I stop it.

Then there will be 1 snap created.
I don't understand what you mean about putting your precompiled version in place of the one I made, yes your version works, it's just for a different set of roms than I have, and I wanted to try an i686-optimized version.
Thank you VERY much for all your hard work on this, it's a marvellous project.
I didn't mean to be offensive when I asked about resistance to changing its behaviour :-\
:'(my bad :'(

I took no offense. Resistance to change (Howard would call it "pigheadedness") is a personality trait of mine.
Please post:
The command line where you call mame from a batch file or typed in.
The relevant portions of mame.ini.
What ROM you are trying to run.
Which version (0.89 or 0.90)
donnyj:
I am using both the "sample" batch file and the "what I use" mame.ini.

Let me ask this way. In order to compile a 90u3 binary...
Download official 90 source. Patch u1, u2 then u3 patches. Extract the movie maker (90) source over the top of the patched 90u3 source, replacing any duplicate files with the movie maker files (makefile, etc.) then make.
Something wrong with that procedure?
Well I've learned how to compile mame, takes about 30 minutes an attempt, but it's a learning experience =]
edit: ok, narrowing down the problem, now trying just "out of the box 0.90" source with MMM 090 source added, no patching....
hmmm, isn't the usrintrf.c supposed to be in src overwriting the one in there? trying that....

Yep, looks like the path on usrintrf.c is wrong, that'll cause the problems you describe.
