View source for Updating mame

== Some links ==

'''Our Current Version of MAME/Metadata is: 0.143'''

You will need the following:

category ini file here:
[http://mameinfo.mameworld.info/]

snaps here:
[http://www.progettosnaps.net/index_en.html]

Copy of MAME: 
[http://mamedev.org/release.html]

== Procedure for Updating MAME ==

=== Before you start ===

Be sure your lmce game database is up to date! run sqlCVS to update it:

 /usr/pluto/bin/sqlCVS -D lmce_game -H schema.linuxmce.org -R 5999 -r game update

=== 1. Grab source tree ===

Check out, or update the latest source tree, if needed.

 svn co http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/branches/LinuxMCE-0810/

=== 2. Compile MAME ===

Download MAME using above link, and compile as follows

 unzip mame0143s.zip
 mkdir mame
 cd mame
 unzip -p ../mame.zip
 make
 sudo cp mame /usr/local/bin

This will get you a working executable.

=== 3. Compile lmce_game_update ===

 cd src/lmce_game_update
 make 

=== 4. put Category.ini in src/lmce_game_update ===

 unzip MAME32-inifiles-0143u1.zip folders/Category.ini
 mv folders/Category.ini .

=== 5. run lmce_game_update ===

 lmce_game_update -p /usr/local/bin/mame

This should take a few minutes, and will grab any roms that are not already in your copy of lmce_game database.

=== 6. grab snapshots ===

Go to the Snaps link above, grab the latest updates. Then unpack them:

 wget http://www.progettosnaps.net/snaps/pS_titles_upd_143.rar
 unrar x pS_titles_upd_143.rar
 
The snapshots will decompress into snap/

=== 7. Convert the .png to jpeg ===

I have included a script which does this.

 ../convert_png_to_jpeg.sh
 rm *.png

you should now have a folder of new jpegs. These need to go into extras/snap in your SVN tree. Add them and check them in.

=== 8. Check in your lmce_game metadata to match ===

 /usr/pluto/sqlCVS -D lmce_game -H schema.linuxmce.org -R 5999 -r game -U username~password checkin

This will take a long time. Let it do its thing.

=== 9. Check in the new MAME into ubuntu/sdlmame ===

Be sure to copy the new mame into ubuntu/sdlmame and run svn add * to update it
