    MESS, MESSUI, MAMEUI 0.228

    in MameUI

    Posted

    The history guys released a 0.228 dat file, so you can use that now.

    I've learned how to create a github action. So, every time that MAMEUI gets updated, github will (attempt to) build a new executable. It isn't symbol-stripped or anything, so the test build weighed in at a whopping 523MB. Because MAME is so FAT and BLOATED, sometimes the github server runs out of memory, so the build fails.

    I've also tried with ARCADE64, but it ran out of memory. Maybe it will work at another time.

    Upcoming changes to emulator names

    in MameUI

    Posted

    From 0.228:

    hbmame64.exe -> hbmame.exe

    hbmameui64.exe -> hbmameui.exe

    The 32-bit versions will have 32 appended to the names (hbmame32.exe, hbmameui32.exe).

     

    From 0.229:

    mame64.exe -> mame.exe - if you create a 32-bit mame, it will also be called mame.exe, just to confuse everyone.

    mameui64.exe -> mameui.exe - the 32-bit version will be mameui32.exe

    mess64.exe -> mess.exe - the 32bit version will be mess32.exe

    messui64.exe -> messui.exe - the 32-bit version will be messui32.exe

    Arcade32/64 will be unchanged.

     

    I will not be building 32-bit versions, nor testing that the above names will actually happen. If you build them and the names are wrong, just rename them.

    StHiryu, I tested your build on Vista, it cannot run. The error is:

    The procedure entry point K32GetProcessMemoryInfo could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll

    So, the oldest OS is now Windows 7.

    comctl32.dll load error

    in MameUI

    Posted

    Well.... turned out mess had acquired a weird bug inside the debugger. This turned out to be a commctrl problem, and I noticed that inclusion of the manifest was missing in uicl.rc

    Adding it back in fixed the debugger. So having a manifest is important even for non-gui windows programs.

    Glad to see you have a working system.

    As part of the recent upgrades, messui was reclassified as a production system, which means it's not intended for development work, but instead to be used for its intended task - running games. As such, all debugger facilities have been removed. If you want to do debugging, you use mess or mame.

    comctl32.dll load error

    in MameUI

    Posted

    It just occurred to me that you might be a victim of a changed compile script. These don't get uploaded until release time, so you wouldn't have seen it.

    Here's the new lines that you wouldn't know about for messui.

    Quote

    del build\generated\resource\messvers.rc

    copy /Y src\mame\mess.flt src\mame\mess.bak

    copy /Y src\mame\messui.txt src\mame\mess.flt

    touch src\mame\mess.flt

    copy /Y src\osd\winui\ui.rc src\osd\winui\mameui.rc

    ( do the actual compilation)

    copy /Y src\mame\mess.bak src\mame\mess.flt

    The reason for the lines about messvers.rc and mameui.rc is to force that stuff to be recompiled, since changes to mameui.rc are not normally detected. Also, mess does not need most of the code and icons that exist in messui, so reducing code bloat.

    The reason for the lines about messui.txt , mess.bak and mess.flt, is because messui only includes systems that work, not everything in mess.

    When compiling mess for command-line, here's the new lines

     

    del build\generated\resource\messvers.rc

    touch src\mame\mess.flt

    copy /Y src\osd\winui\uicl.rc src\osd\winui\mameui.rc

    (do the actual compilation)

    The "touch" command is a unix-based command to update the "last-updated" time on a file to the current time. This causes the compiler to think the file has been updated and needs to be recompiled. Touch comes with the msys2 package, so you probably have it somewhere.

    If you compare ui.rc against uicl.rc, you'll see that ui.rc has the full list of menus and icons used in messui, where uicl.rc only has the menus for the NewUI.

     

    These compile changes need to be rolled out to HBMAME as well, but it hasn't been done yet.

     

    Hope this helps.
