SDLMAME will auto detect your CPU type (PPC or Intel), and your system type (32 bit or 64 bit), and build accordingly. actually, on my macbook pro with Snow Leopard, MAME builds 32-bit even if the OS supports 64-bit apps. hence, I had to add PTR64=1. is this expected? or is the identification process at fault (and if this is the case, can I help to fix it?)

according to this article http://www.macworld.com/article/142379/2009/08/snow_leopard_64_bit.htmlSnow Leopard is fully capable of running 64bit apps, but the OS uses a 32bit kernel because current hw does not need a 64bit kernel. part of it might as well be true, but I don't currently really care: the important part is the full 64bit capability. hence, I will be able to play n64 at 50% of speed with no frameskip :P back to the autodetect point, there is no problem if I have to add a PTR64=1, but I would suggest to update the original instructions with a paragraph about Snow Leopard 32bit users because the speed gain with a 64bit compile might be appreciated

Just curious RB, do you know why r0ni includes the endings script with his binaries??
I do? That's definitely a oversight, I have a script I use to build them and package them up, I prob need to do some work on it still, as I haven't changed it since sdlmame merged into baseline. I'll take a look at it. And I can't support Tiger as I no longer have a PPC Mac. I don't think there is a legit Intel 10.4 disk out there, I could be wrong though.
