Re: MAME compiling, more info?
10/01/13 10:44 PM


i heard (hopefully someone will correct me if im wrong) that these days it is not worth compiling builds which are optimised for certain cpus, as the benefits are small

when compiling, you use eg. -j3, -j5, to speed up the compiling process itself, it doesnt affect the final .exe
if u have a dual core processor use j3. if a quad core, use j5

if you want to end up with a 32bit build .exe of mame, use mingw64-w32 (eg. if u want it to run on windows xp 32bit os)

if you want to end up with a 64bit build .exe of mame, use mingw64-w64 (eg. if u want it to run on windows 7 64bit os)

ps. i hear the benefit of running 64bit mame is at least 10% increase in performance

pps. before you begin your first compile i was told you need to run the batch file in the mingw folder called 'setup-Python.bat' (you only need to run it once. not every compile)
