Draco1962 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 HI - Will this be updated to the latest MAME 0.193 builds? When I attempt to download the lists, everything defaults to 0.183. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headkaze Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 There is no need to compile your own version of MAME anymore since MAMEDev have implemented a powerful Lua plugin system for things like hiscore and cheats. Even CPWizard uses a showcp plugin now instead of a patch to display your CP while MAME is paused. Additionally if you need DirectInput support (for injecting keys into MAME) you can simply use a hex editor and replace "RegisterRawInputDevices" with something like "***DISABLE_RAW_INPUT***". To enable RawInput again just replace it back with "RegisterRawInputDevices". I can't really think of a reason for compiling a custom version of MAME anymore except for maybe those who want to enable the built-in debugger for searching memory locations for hiscore patches or cheats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Thanks, that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I have confirmed that the hi score lua plugin works well with the 0.193 build. There doesn't seem to be a plugin for suppressing the "nag" or warning screens unless I am totally missing it in my searches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headkaze Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 I forgot about the suppression screens. Okay I've updated the file list and confirmed it's compiling MAME 0195 okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Thanks. Will check it out next time I upgrade MAME and my sets. May be a few more versions from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
