It's no more Non-unicode option? i can't compile the non-unicode version with Mingw this time, its officially out?

For petition of CaptainCPS-X here is the info:

First i change this part of "makefile"(like all the past times)

Code: [Select]

# Inluclude Unicode support
#UNICODE = 1

next when i start to compile in the part of jukebox i got errors

Code: [Select]

There hasn't been a non-unicode release for a while, and as far as I know current source is verified using UNICODE builds only.

I will give it a look soon to make it possible to compile it using ANSI build configuration, I dont know how much has to be updated for that but I will let everyone know my progress on that later.

btw, why don't you just compile it using UNICODE ?, are you using Win98 or similar?... UNICODE build have lot of nice UI features and is very compatible.

EDIT: I will probably start working on ANSI source compatibility update tomorrow, so I'll keep you posted.

SeeYaa!

Well i make this for a friend(gonzo90017)  who need the non-Unicode version, and i have Win ME in my cabinet(its a older PC) for best performance, and there i use the bare command line without the Extras; in my desktop i use the unicode version, and i love all the new features.

[CaptainCPS]

ThanX for the comments ^^

I revised 'tracklst.cpp' and made the changes today (it was not really a big deal to update) xDD, FBA has fast support service LOL... please let me know if you have any other issues 

SeeYaa!

[lxd_bruce]

compiling error?
how to solve this?

[CaptainCPS]

lxd_bruce, I think that problem is related with your mingw / gcc package, I don't remember exactly, but I had some problems like that when I modified my compiling environment and my .bat files.

I will be checking for a solution to your problem, I will try to recreate the same error to be able to help you  .

Btw, KOF2112 , ThanX for those Icons packs  , I was gonna release a pack soon with them , because I noticed they are WAY better than MAMEUI icons  .

Oh, guys! Stay alert because a new Tool is coming related with MAME support files!,  WIP pictures will come out soon! ^^

SeeYaa!

Could you upload your mingw / gcc package for us?
Thank you

thank you.

I'm looking forward to your solution

hotkeys don't seem to work in the latest FBA builds
ex:

Code: [Select]

custom ""                 switch 0x2A "P1 Weak punch" 0x01 "P1 Weak kick" 0x01
were them taken out?

I have to confirm that because at least of all things I have modified at the burner section of the source, I haven't touch the input files. Probably that's something coming from other older versions. But as I said before I have to confirm if that is a bug or it's just something not present in the current version.

btw, I haven't been active because I'm working on a personal achievement creating a new mathematical formula I discovered just by casualty, this formula I'm talking about doesn't exist AFAIK!, ..the formula can let you add commas to any number from Left to Right, and even predict how much thousands the number is just by knowing how many digits the number has. I have been working on this formula for about 2 days and even at late night hours  . The formula results are accurate and precise 'always'.

SeeYaa!
