I’ve compiled libretro-mame from https://github.com/libretro/libretro-mame following the instructions here - http://emulation-general.wikia.com/wiki/Building_RetroArch
I’ve successfully compiled it but launching it in RA causes it to instantly crash every time.
But the version from buildbot - http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/windows/x86_64/latest/mame_libretro.dll.zip - works perfectly for me.
I’ve been able to compile all the other cores and run them with no problems.
The non-working version I compiled and the working version from buildbot produce the identical log files.
The buildbot dll is MAME version 0.170. This github MAME version is 0.171. I thought something might have been broken in 171 so I tried several older versions but they all have the same issue.
This is on windows. I’ve tried both x86 an 64. I’m using MSYS2.
Any ideas how I can compile libretro-mame? Can anyone else test and see if they can make a working copy from the current github source? I’d like to at least narrow down the problem to see if I’m doing something wrong or if there is an issue in the current code.
Thanks for any help. I’d like to be able to compile my own version as there are several customization I want to add but I’m having problems just with the code as is before adding my own code.
