Compiling CPS2 only mame.

[ugenn]

Which hardware/CPUs should be built for a CPS2 only mame?

If anyone has successfully built such a mame, can he post a copy of his mame.mak? Thanks.

Well, there is CPS2MAME, but i don't know anything about it's current status. It's been around for a long time too.

 

If you wanted to know anything else, I can't help.

That's ok. I've already gotten it to build. Currently testing SFA3.

Instructions for compiling CPS2 only MAME

 

This assumes mame or xmame 0.86 (might work with other versions):

 

Apply the following patch on the source tree with the following command:

patch -Np1 < xmame-cps2.patch

This patch removes the neo specific stuff from a couple of the source files so you won't get linking errors at the end of the build. If building on windows, the "patch" command should come with the cygwin environment needed to run the gcc compiler used to build mame.

 

xmame-cps2.patch:

Edit src/mame.mak and remove all the unwanted stuff so that it looks like the following:

CPUS+=Z80@
CPUS+=M68000@
CPUS+=M68EC020@
CPUS+=M68020@

SOUNDS+=YM2151_ALT@

TEXTS += gamelist.txt

gamelist.txt: $(EMULATOR)
       @echo Generating $@...
       @$(CURPATH)$(EMULATOR) -gamelist -noclones -sortname > docs/gamelist.txt

 

Edit src/driver.c and delete the non-CPS2 games and/or the games you don't want.

 

Finally, run "make" for a lean, lightweight MAME.
