MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - 32bits Mame build & Archopts

Hi,

Target machine: 'old' C2D-E8400 WinXP (x86).

Dev machine: i5 Win7 (x64).

Tools used: mingw-mame-20121207

Each time i'm trying to add any ARCHOPTS (core2 for example), the resulting build doesn't work in windowed mode on any systems XPx86 or 7x64. (mame.exe -window or windows 1 in mame.ini). no debug/log/error msgs. It works in fullscreen.

Without ARCHOPTS, the build is fine and working in windowed mode on both machines.

On Mr Do's guide i saw that the mingw tools are different for 32bits hosts, but the specified versions are outdated.

tl;dr
What's is the best way/tools to build working 32bits mame ?
Is it better to build it with a true 32bits OS ?

Thanks.

Edit: i've tried with mame148 and 149/149u1 sources and same results for both.
