Compiling MAME's Source

[Weirdy]

yeah, you're not supposed to extract it just like that, you have to just replace some files and what not

[Necromancer]

I've got one question :

 

How do u guys keep updated your MAME builds? What are u doing when new version comes out? I suppose that u are using diff files but is it required to delete "obj" folder of older version of MAME to compile newer version? Compiling MAME takes long time

[Weirdy]

I don't always update

 

I sometimes skip a version or two until I finally compile a new one

[James]

Yes you should delete the OBJ folder when you make a fresh compile of the diff updates.

[Weirdy]

it usually takes 2hrs for it to finish compiling for me

it used to take 1hr in the spring

 

seriously though, I don't do anything else while it's compiling either

Your PC CPU heatsink might need cleaning. when it gets hot it will try to protect its self and slow down
