It's WELL worth spending the time digging around in the source code and figuring out how to compile. Trust me. Spend a weekend reading through it, use headkaze's MAME Compiler software, and have at it! Soon, once you get comfortable with the source code, you'll be able to rename games within the drivers so they display how you want them to in your FE's, etc. etc. (E.G. if you want Street Fighter II to display as Street Fighter 2, you're able to do that). It really is quite nice being able to compile your own. :cheers:

It'd be way cooler to just type in what you want and it do it, through some proxy, rather than having to muck around through the source.

Some FEs already do this for you. Well they don't change the driver and code, but rather build a display name list that displays whatever you want for a given driver/rom. It is very simple to do in Maximus Arcade.

Yes, Maximus Arcade does this easily. I changed a few games the other day in a matter of seconds.

It's not renaming the ROMS that I'm having an issue with. As a matter of fact I modified my gamelists using Mala's Gamelist Editor. It was quite simple and I was able to get rid of those stupid brackets and country info (USA, JAP, GER, etc.) It's compiling in general that I have had problems. I've tried it on 2 seperate occasions and I can't get it right! Next time I have time to try and compile again I'll have to ask for some help on the forum.
