hiscore diff (with no nag/white box removal)

When I run the hi score version this problem occurs. This is why I posted this problem in this thread.

Try compiling the latest u release with and without the hiscore diff (123u6 is the current latest) and see if it still exists. The diff changed in 123u3 somewhat and it *may* help you. I haven't heard anyone else with your problem. I still don't think this has to do with the hiscore diff. I would bet if you compiled your own 123 without the hiscore diff, you'd get the same result....

I'm wondering if it would make sense to break up the diff into separate diffs for each feature, allowing the users to pick and choose. For instance, maybe someone wants the hiscore and nag diffs only. I'm not sure what all I'd like to ignore, but I know I don't like the "pause on tab" feature because I always tend to pause first, then hit tab, which then unpauses it.
With headkaze's compiler, it's really as easy to apply a handful of diffs as it is to apply a single one, so unless there is some other good reason to keep everything lumped in 1 diff, I'd rather download it as a zip of diffs.
What are your thoughts, MKChamp (and anyone else for that matter)?

When 124 comes out I am going to upload a new diff that has comments in every section where changes were made. This would make it easy for someone to just delete the sections they don't want.

Sounds great. Does that mean that it's more trouble than it's worth to break everything up into separate diffs? I would think that would be more ideal for the end user, and I wouldn't think it would be much more work (if any) to update from version to version. But what do I know? ;)

Yea, it would be more work for me...and I am lazy by nature. I would have to diff the source for every modification...maintain the diff's etc. Also, it's not hard to remove sections from the diff you don't want. Ex., if you don't want the pause/enter key changed, just remove the inptport.c section. Which, the more I think of it, should probably be removed anyway, since you can just set up the keys in the MAME config...
The only other section I can see people may not wanting would be the disabled crosshairs by default. To get rid of that, just delete the crsshair.c section.
At any rate, the 124 diff will have comments in every place that has modifications...you'll just have to search the diff for "MKChamp".

I'm lazy by nature too, so I don't blame you! ;D
Good point about the pause - I can alter it on my system for now, but I agree about removing it - it's more of a configuration thing than altered functionality.
I'm also leaning on not wanting the nag part. I understand that it prevents the user from seeing messages about non-perfect emulation and the like, and I don't mind the nag screens because you do it once and then you don't have to do it again.
Thanks MKChamp. I appreciate your continual efforts on this diff, and for entertaining my suggestion.
