Adding Command.dat in Command Line MAME

[DaemonCollector]

Well, last night I started getting Command.dat to be available in the normal command line mame. By using a lot of code from MAME32Fx I got it to read in, but am having some trouble on the menus. Also, I need to figure out how the font system works, mame32fx has seperate font files where as the standard build does not. So I can read the commands for any game, but the glyphs don't show up, just the pure text. I hope to fix the scrolling issue when I get home tonight. When it's all done I'll create a diff file so all can enjoy

Ok, got it all working, just need to add the glyph support...

This is very cool news!  I've really been craving using command.dat as I've been playing a lot of unfamiliar Neo-Geo fighters on my cab.

I've got no desire to switch to a GUI based MAME32, as I'm running MAMEwah and loving it. 

Are there already any other unofficial builds that support command.dat that are command line?  Will you be making a compiled version available or will we have to compile it ourselves with your diff?

Thanks

As of right now the only build I know of that support it are both MAME32 Builds. I have been running into a lot of trouble with this font system and need to figure out a way to get it to work. After my finals at school I'll have more time to work on it.
