hiscore diff (with no nag/white box removal)
Jdurg:
The only time updates are made the hiscore diffs are when a change happens in the MAME source that requires modifications of the hiscore.diff files. So whenever a new version of MAME comes out, just try to compile with the most recent hiscore.diff file. If it works, then no wait is needed. If you get a bunch of errors, then you'll need to wait for the new version.

when I compiled ver 0.123 with the hi score patch i cannot see the menu text on the emulator. This does not happen with a normal build of mame of the same version whn run in the same folder. So this illuminates font file corruption etc. Does anyone have an idea what caused it? i can only put it down to the hi score 0123 patch and this specific build..

I get that weirdness if I have another application running on my PC and I ALT-TAB from MAME to another app and then ALT-TAB back to MAME. The font looks great when I first run MAME, but after swapping to another app & back, it's unreadable blocks like your screen grag. (fortunately this will never happen after I finish setting up my machine & have it in the cab...)
So, maybe the way you're launching MAME or something is flipping to another program & back, corrupting the MAME menu font?

Do u have rename the 'vmame.exe' file that is created in the source folder to 'mame.exe' As i have removed the standard mame.exe file from my mame directory and replaced it with 'vmame' form my hi score complied 125 mame, and renamed it to 'mame' but now when i do this and load a rom from mala it gives me an error message,
Could not execute program 'mame.exe romname' Error code: 193

I kept getting the following error trying to compile the MAME .125 source with the hiscore diff using MAME Compiler 64:
src/osd/windows/video.c:245: error: redefinition of 'osd_update_hi'
Finished!
0 Hours 29 Minutes and 45 Seconds Elapsed.
src/osd/windows/video.c:224: error: previous definition of 'osd_update_hi' was here
mingw32-make: *** [obj/windows/mame/osd/windows/video.o] Error 1
I was coming here to ask for help, but figured it out myself. The osd_update_hi function appears in the video.c file twice in a row. I deleted one instance of it from the source and it compiled fine. Not sure how that happened. I downloaded a fresh version of the source and patched it just once, so I'm not sure how it doubled that section. Anyway, I just thought I'd go ahead and share this in case anyone else is having the same problem.
MKChamp:
If you are positive you started with a totally clean source, then the only way this could have happened is if you accidentally applied 2 different version hiscore diffs by mistake. That would be the only way I could imagine that *could* happen...or your machine has gremlins ;-)
