how to modify a diff file?

[Denverlatino]

Hello,, since i got an older PC that i want to use for an lunacade alike cab I'm building, i know Mame 128 its way to much for that PC, so I'm using Mame 105 with a nvidia 256 pci card, which makes Mame runs find. so i was wondering, what do i need to modify on a diff file to skip the screens and have hiscore support, i just compiled Mame128 and got the diff file from here, but i noticed it only goes to Mame 108, that's why i would like to modify a diff file for 105.
Thanks for any help.

Diff files are human readable so you can just modify the source manually. I would use the 108 diff as a guide.

...Mame 105 ... a diff file to skip the screens and have hiscore support ...

Mame dropped hiscore.dat after 0.107; 0.108 was the first not to have it.  No need to add what's already there.

So look at the 0.108 diff and find the screens part, and make the changes to the source by hand.  Or see if you can find a diff with just the screens change.  Either will be easier than trying to edit that diff so it works, believe me.
