felixthadog Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I have compiled Mame 0.123 following Mr Do's Compile instructions, including up to 0.123u6 diff and hi_123u5 diff. The compile was successful and on loading any ROMs I do not see any nag screens. However, I didn't realise that one of the nag screens not displayed is the screen that indicates any problems with the ROM (no sound, incorrect CHD, video emulation not 100% etc). Is there a way of forcing this screen to be displayed without re-compiling? If not, which part of the compile should I skip to get the screen back? :unsure Also, in Mame 0.100, when I was playing a game I could press F11 and see the frame rate, but in Mame 0.123 the frame rate is not displayed. Is there another key I can press to see the frame rate? :unsure Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixthadog Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 OK, I recompiled MAME without patching the hi score diff file and I can now see the nag screen that I was looking for. I'm working my way through my romset so I wanted to see which ROMs had problems .... I'll recompile MAME with hi score support once I have ironed out the romset :cool: I still don't know about the frame rate though, anyone got an answer to my question? :unsure Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord-Data Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 can't you just keep 2 versions of mame? I have one on my main computer which displays the nags, no special stuff, and a proper version on the mame machine.. I use the Pc version to test out roms and work out configs, etc, then just put the known good ones over to the mame box later :) you could still do this on the one PC, use one version for testing, another for proper playing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now only need to copy across the config files to the MAME PC as required :D I just need to figure out how to see the frame rate ....

SectionZ Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Doesn't it show the option for show FPS in the config <TAB> menu ? Then you can change it to whatever key you like. I'm not up on recent mame stuff though, so I maybe missing something.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzor Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Have you had any problems with .123u6? I just updated mine and when I run games, sometimes it will just not recognise any key presses at all, and I have to ctrl-alt-del it.. but sometimes it works fine. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the command-line or via a front-end? :unsure I use MameWah and I have not had any problems running any games that v0.123u6 supports.

Benzor Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Yeah using Mamewah as well. was all working perfectly using previous version of mame. Does it with any game, 1942 for example. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felixthadog Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 regarding compiling i tried to compile mame using the guides felix has mentioned only just recently... i did the same thing as i always have but used a diff computer... and the thing failed Which version of MAME did you try compiling? I found that there was a problem with the v0.123 zip file from the MameDev page so I downloaded the 7zip file and the compile was successful. No I just downloaded it and ran it. I've never had to compile it myself before...? Perhaps since I compiled my own version of MAME, I am not experiencing the issues that you are seeing with the downloaded version :unsure Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
