you need to apply the following to get it work:

Index: src/emu/inptport.c

return port_config_detokenize(NULL, tokens, errorbuf, errorbuflen);

Hi


How do I apply this?

I've tried copying the above into a file but the usual:

patch -p0 -E [left facing pointy bracket]filename.diff

[note the left facing pointy bracket isn't displaying for some reason on this forum, perhaps this is the problem with the code above?]

Gives an error message, on the line starting with "const"

Don't copy/paste from the forum. It will trash the needed formatting breaks. So either save it correctly or simply add the "if" manually.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Call me stupid (me waits for insult!) but other then copying and pasting it I'm not sure how else to save the code.
