Ok guys for those of you that have been following this is the ....

Hoffmame: Sexual Choclate Edition :)

Please note this is only a patch for the official Mame binary/Executeable.

Please grab the latest version of mame from the mame hompeage.

http://mamedev.org/release.html

This patch only removes those (unwanted?) messages before game loading and per popular request Im adding support for hiscore.dat (This gets installed in the same directory as mame) Also you need to create a folder called "HI" in the mame directory.

The HiScore.diff is created and maintained by MKChamp. Hats off to you :)

This patch (as well as all others) is released AS-IS meaning I will not be changing it nor supporting it.. Neither will mame dev.. So please don't goto their forum and ask why the hoffmame patch isnt doing *****. They wont know what your talking about :)

With that behind us.. Unzip the patch and put all files in the mame folder and run the apply patch.bat

NOTE:The patch does actually remap some keys, namely:

KEYCODE_TAB - will bring up the menu but also pause the game.

KEYCODE_1 - UI Select (instead of enter)

Also by default the crosshair is off..Press F1 to bring back

***Sorry guys I removed the patch till I get word from mame dev...***

Happy Gaming.

Nice one Brian :)

500K thats more like it! 7 MB patch just didn't seem right.

BTW That direct link to download the binary doesn't work (no hot linking), so I would just give a link to the download page instead.

It seems as though I am using the correct compilier now.

Let me know if it works... I can compile mame at work but I cannot test it..

It would give too much away if I were playing pacman.

**edit.. I did get a chance to test it and it seems to work great..meaning I had no disclaimers and it saved a galaga.hi file in my HI folder...** I love gallaga :)

How hard is this patch to develop? I would really like to patch MAME Plus!, but I haven't really looked into this much. Actually, I should try 119 first to make sure I even like the update. I might have to wait another version or so if the updates don't work well for me...

If I can do it anyone can.. Do a search for mame 117 patch.. Headkaze wrote this and you will see my posts picking his brain..(Full credit goes to HK for teaching me)

Also Google Mr DO complie.. Lots of great info.. I also use mame plus..

What version do you Run...

Also Id recommend compilng the 119u1... It plays killerinstinct great now.. At least on my pc... Ive been using older builds to emulate at full speed.. Now I dont have to :)

I just d/l'ed 119 last night but it was corrupt (redownloaded several times and still corrupt), so I tried 119u1. Works great so far. Do you already have a patch for MAME Plus! 119u1?

That was the first time I tried the new CPSIII engine...I LOVE IT! I can't beleive how smooth it plays (compared to normal MAME with zinc and model2 titles). Only thing I didn't expect was the 20 minute wait for it to load the cd the first time.

Not yet but if I get some time today I can make one.

I do have vanilla mame 119u1 tho.

I don't usually use U releases since they are usually more buggy. If vanilla 119u1 is running ok, I can get that one too. I just grabbed 119 last night.

I don't know what you did, but crosshairs seem to be disabled by default as well.

THANK YOU.

Your very welcome.

Since you bring up the crosshairs I asssume you use a lightgun?!? Would you mind putting together a tutorial on how to get lightguns to work in new mame. Alot of people have these guns and are having issues.

Thanks

Nope, just a trackball hacked to a mouse. This is for games like Terminator 2 that already display crosshairs on the screen (they're not true lightgun games). Before your patch, I was getting MAME's crosshairs overlayed onto T2's.

Normally, you have to press F1 to make the MAME ones go away. There is no command line option to disable this. An -extreme- annoyance.

Re: Default crosshairs to off?

Actually, he took the hiscore diff that was posted here and made the bat file with it. Read the sticky...turning them off WAS on purpose. Along with the nag screens, and menu change.

---------

I never knew you also included the nag removal.. Ive been editing the UI.C manually.

Who da thunk it.

Cool! I've been wondering about crosshairs for a while too! There is a way to disable them, but it completely removes them. If you change the crosshair overlay file (cross1.png for P1 as I recall) to a transparent alpha channel, it's supposed to eliminate them. Thing is, some people like them, so I have to keep them around. This will be really nice!
