The latest Mame Compiler 64 requires the new build tools installed. So you will need to go to downloads tab and download them.

EDIT: I just noticed your edit. I believe there is still a problem with this switch not working. I only see two make processes running when I specified 8 parallel jobs. Can anyone confirm?

Yeah I noticed this too, the -j option isn't working at the top level. I see that MameCompiler64 launches make which launches multiple makes, but only one g++ instance at a time. I edited the mame makefile and modified MAKEPARAMS:
--- Code: ---MAKEPARAMS := -R -j4
--- End code ---
It works regardless of the make command line. It does not look like you can set this from the main make command because it doesn't override it, it just sets it. Other options don't appear to be working either because I don't have "Include symbols" checked yet the final executable definitely has symbols in it.

Thanks for the info. When I get a moment I'll update MC64 to use this method.

Check out the "Older Versions of MAME" section at the Mame Compiler 64 homepage

Okay MC64 has been updated to support multiple jobs again. Compile time for me went from over an hour to 20 minutes :cheers:
There is still no official update as there are still a few minor issues left to resolve but for the most part it should be fine to download and start using it to compile Mame 0161+
Note 1. You must download the latest Build Tools to compile again (from the Download tab in MC64). Your MinGW folder structure will now be 'buildtools' with 'src' and 'patch' sub-folders. Also there is a new "Update Build Tools" button which will grab the latest build tools from Git (this will only work after you do the initial "Build Tools" download).
Note 2. If you download Mame and MameUI source at the same time then do a compile you may get an "undefined reference" error when you target a compile for WinUI. If this happens download the MameUI source again then put a tick next to "Clean Compile" and try again.
