Change description:
Fix for CHD games that use .dif files.
Approximate revision(s) of change:
r29
Reason(s) for change:
Add compatibility for games that use diff files such as Killer Instinct.
Background:
Some CHD games create .dif files when used in MAME (the default location for them is mamehub/dist/diff) to store save data (such as audit data). MAMEHub was not compensating for this data prior to this fix which was causing desyncs.
Digitalghost removed the reading of the generated .dif files altogether. Killer Instinct (and Killer Instinct 2) are now playable without desyncing as of this change. Audit, High-Score etc. data is not retained.
For more information on loading Killer Instinct in MAMEHub see this post here.
See an explanation of .dif files here.
Notes:
This change took place on April 26th, 2011.
