That's actually what advancemame does, ie. the tarball contains only the advance-specific tree and a patch. You must download, merge and patch the official mame codebase over it yourself. AFAIK the actual reason the author does this is to keep his own code GPL licensed, unlike xmame, which is st

Two likely causes I can think of that could trigger that Internal Compiler Error you just got: 1) Since you previously told us you were running Debian, I am guessing you are running on a very old version of gcc that most likely has critical bugs. Could you tell us the output of "gcc --version"? 2
