[APP] MAME Compiler 64 v2.0.165

HI - Will this be updated to the latest MAME 0.193 builds? When I attempt to download the lists, everything defaults to 0.183.

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.

Thanks, that makes sense.

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.

I forgot about the suppression screens. Okay I've updated the file list and confirmed it's compiling MAME 0195 okay.

Thanks. Will check it out next time I upgrade MAME and my sets. May be a few more  versions from now.
