Using 2xSAI in MAME

[chriss]

Hey guys (esp brian and headk

after running my mame through gameex fine for a couple of months with the recompiled mame.exe with the hiscore.diff patches i want to use mame plus now.

the reason is simple:

I have a big 22" vga monitor and i don't like the pixel graphic. first i tried it with scanlines but it still looks kind of crappy (even on high resolutions)

so now i found out that mame plus supports a couple of goodies i want to use

- e.g the super 2xsai engine or hq3x

- command list for games like sf2

the only thing that really annoys me is the nag screen that games don't run perfect. my mame often runs in attract mode (its in the kitchen and constantly used by me and my roomies). in attract mode most games don't start because of the nag screen.

how do i get rid of that?

i tried to recompile mame plus with the 0.125 hiscore.diff file but both by command line and the mame compiler 64 i get error messages during install.

mame plus compiles fine when the patch is not used but when i apply the patch the compiling stops here:

Converting src/emu/layout/snap.lay...

Compiling src/emu/video.c...

src/emu/video.c: In function 'decode_graphics':

src/emu/video.c:626: error: 'buffer' undeclared (first use in this function)

src/emu/video.c:626: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

src/emu/video.c:626: error: for each function it appears in.)

mingw32-make: *** [obj/windows/mamep/emu/video.o] Error 1

do you guys know how to change the diff file in order to produce the files?

simply put:

how do i get rid of the nag screens in mame plus and how can i switch off the confrmation message when i exit a game?

does somebody have time to get inbto this?

thanks for any help

Well read this thread and it will tell you how to edit src manually. Which works great with mame plus.

Also I believe mame plus already supports hiscore.. Which maybe whats causing your errors.

You can compile using regular methods

yey,

i did it! thanks again for your help, brian

if anybody is interested in compiling mame plus ver 0.125 to get rid of the loading artwork and the nag screens, just download the attached ui.c and replace it with the one at %mamesrc%/src/emu

follow the instructions in the source dir called compile.htm and don't forget to also download the mame plus extra fonts (not mentioned in instructions)

ui.7z

chriss thanks for the ui file! IT worked perfectly! I've been trying to figure out how to compile MamePlus! with the highscore patch for a while. Quick question though...Is it normal for the menubar to appear every time I open the config menu in a game. Even after selecting hide menubar, it reappears the next time I open up the config menu? That didn't used to happen with MamePlus! It used to always be hidden, the way I like it.
