Cool!!! I never even knew it existed.. hell... on the Mameinfo page it mentions of the patch.exe... but the way it was done was confusing as hell... thank god for the Unix to Windows exe group I found that had patch... I had to hunt down UPX... but this was really easy to use ^^

Now my binary is 2k larger then Alphamame... but I think I know why ^^
Now to figure how to make a win32 version of it [eep]

MAME and MAME32 are virtually identical, MAME32 just tacks on the GUI. MingW is used to compile both.

Assuming you've been compiling the Win32 console version, then you can just unzip the MAME32 source over the top of the MAME source, and build it with 'make WINUI=1 SUFFIX=32' (case is important).
