help a noob
pacman-jam:
ok so I've gone back to the new mame 117.. in good news I have figured out why it was playing games at random and fixed that. 117 is now playing most of my roms fine.. well bublbobl and 1941 anyways (for testing)
I have a HI folder (empty)
and hs17032007.dat file
and mame117 has been patched with all the latest u's 0117u1 and 0117u2
and there is also a history.dat file in ther (not sure where that came from)
from going in and out of bobblebobble and 1941 and making high scores I have found..
it's still not working :cry:
I'm thinking of patching whiteboard.dat and markerpen.diff instead... :-[

I tried to patch mame111 with the hiscore.diff 111u1 from the sticky thread but I got errors:
c:\mame>patch -p0 -E 0<ht_11u1.diff
can't fint the file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or ---strip option?
the text leading up to this was:
----------------------------------
:diff -r -c -N old/cheat.c src/cheat.c
:*** old/cheat.c thu Dec 28 23:04:52 2006
:--- src/cheat.c thu Dec 28 23:02:10 2006

File to patch?

You used the wrong diff for 111. Don't just glance over the post...read it:
MAME VERSION DIFF VERION
------------------- ----------------
110u3 - 111 hi_110u3.txt
pacman-jam:
sorry I typed it up wrong.. it was the hi_110.u3.diff though..
(I also tried 111.u1 as well just incase)
my mame version is V0 mame111.
MKChamp:
Just to make sure you know...the Mr. Do's compiling page is for version of MAME starting with 116. I would try compiling MAME 117(most stable release).
Grab the 117 source here:
http://mirrors.xmission.com/mame/main/mame0117s.zip
Grab the hiscore diff here:
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=64298.0;attach=80291
Unzipped the source and put the hiscore diff in the directory. Open up your command prompt and type: patch -p0 -E <hi_116u4.diff
Now compile it.
put your mame files(the exe files you created compiling) into your mame directory where your going to run it. Make sure there is a HI folder (along with your ROM, SNAP, etc. etc. folders)
Make sure you have the hiscore.dat file in your mame folder. You can get that here:
http://www.mameworld.net/highscore/hs17032007.zip
At this point, assuming you did everything correctly, if you have any issues, run MAME from the command prompt (NOT FROM MALA!) to see if it works as expected. If it does, but it doesn't from MALA, then you can concentrate on the correct 'stump' in the road.
Hope this helps clear things up.
SGT:
MKChamp,
Shouldn't that be:
hi_116u4.txt
instead of hi_116u4.diff?
