hiscore diff (with no nag/white box removal)
MKChamp:
First off...if anyone downloaded the hi_123u3.txt file, I made a small change and re-uploaded it at 7:30pm central time(02-28-08)...so you *may* want to get it again :-( I noticed that one of the white boxes were still visible on startup. The change gets rid of the center white box, however, for a BRIEF millisecond, you may see the giant white box on startup. In reality, it shouldn't even catch your eye...so, if it bothers you or you are on a mission, feel free to figure out a way to get rid of it without having to be extremely invasive to the MAME core. Basically, ( and to answer your second question. Pitou ), in the ui.c module, in the ui_set_startup_text routine I commented out everything and entered the line osd_update(machine, 0);...apparently it needs this to set the refresh speed correctly. I'm sure with enough time you could figure out another way, but if you compile this and test it on your own, I think you will see what I mean by not even catching your eye ;-)
To answer your first question, Pitou, that combo seems to be what works for alot of the people with the issue you were having. Take a look here and you'll see some other interesting things with the 60HZ displays...

edit: Just tested it on my cab, and this doesn't work very well. The patch still does all the stuff with the exception of the startup junk...I'll have to take a look deeper at fixing it...so much for my lazy shortcuts ;-)

I noticed a small box in the middle of the screen during the loading of a game,
it wasen't there with 123u2.. does anyone know how to remove it.. I find it
a bit annoying and it acts funny when loading games like gaplus. TIA

Ok...just re-uploaded the hi_123u3.txt file(12:41 central time 02-29-08). Got it all sorted out and tested. It now correctly applies refreshspeed/speed option and removes ALL the white box/junk on start up. This was a little more MAME core invasive than I liked since that means that if/when MAME changes significantly, there's more 'patching' to keep the hiscore diff up to date...but what cha gonna do.
t3ckn0b0y: Grab the new hi_123u3 file and compile with that. If you could please test it and let me know that it works for you, that would be great.
Pitou: you can search for "hiscore white box" in the diff for what the changes I made to get it to get rid of the white box while retaining the correct refreshspeed.
