| Compiling Mame With VC++ Express |
| (1/2) > >> |
| arcadegamenut:
I have VC++ Express with the platform SDK and DirectX SDK. I downloaded VCMame 105 and the Mame105 source code Extracted mame source to a directory. Extracted VCMame source to same directory allowing the overwrite of the two files (patch). Opened the project solution in VC++ 2005 and allowed it to perform its conversion. Changed the project settings for C code generation to be multi-threaded with debug to avoid library errors when compiling romcmp. So everything goes fine until it gets to vcmame. I end up with 88 errors along the lines of 'verboselog' : too few arguments for call I've read through this board and mameworld (the only place where vcmame is talked about) and I didn't see anyone else getting this error, so obviously, I've missed something somewhere. Anyone know what? |

Why not just compile with MinGW? Are there features in VCMAME that are not in regular MAME? |

But as Poonga mentioned, there is the advanced debugger. I also like the IDE with the intellisense along with other features that make looking through the project much easier. Someone (I think on Mameworld) posted that they had received a very very slight increase in speed for some games. @SirPoonga Hmm...I thought I already read where you had tried it about a year or so ago. I think I saw someone mention on the mameworld board that they had compiled successfully so I must be missing something. I may have to sign up for a new user (I forget my old one there) and post my message there as well. |

I tried it some time ago just before it went unsupported. But since it is being made again I gotta give it a try. |
