Compiling MAME in Visual C++
« on: September 16, 2004, 12:08:25 am »
Can anyone tell me how to compile the mame source in M$ Visual C++?

I'm using version 6.0.

Thanks!

There's VSMAME but I think they might be completely .NET now.  They use to have VS6 builds.

Check out http://www.vcmame.net/ the VS projects have been updated to v85

FastMAME is MAME compiled using the Intel compiler not the MS VC Compiler

If you check that site, though, you'll notice that a VC6 version was put up.

srp mentioned vsmame the correct name is vcmame that is why I added the address.  Up until the release 85 vcmame included projects for both VS 7 and VS 6.

Also it is fairly easy to convert the projects from VS 7 to VS 6.

I routinely use VCmame (with VS 6) to debug MAME (never figured out how to use gdb)

Mish mentioned that he will probably not updated vcmame for a while.  But it is normal for vcmame to skip a version or two.

Okay, I got the files, but what do I do with them?
(I am new to VC++)

Can anyone point me to a tutorial?
I would compile with the standard mame utility, but I have to download so many things, put them together in just the right way, etc...

I'd like to start editing the source, but I have no idea how to get started.

If you have V Studio install double click on the vcmame.dsw And compile
