1: Common Steps
---------------

You need to install the NASMW assembler on your machine.  You can get it from the downloads 
section of Mame website amongst other places (www.mame.net).  Make sure your Visual C 'exe' path
(Tools -> Options -> Projects -> Directories) includes the directory where you install NASM.

2: Compiling VCMame 0.82 under Visual C 6 (DevStudio)
-----------------------------------------------------

Follow these steps, in this order!

1) Unzip mame source to a location on your hard drive, eg, d:\mame\mame82
2) Unzip zlib source to the same location with 'zlib' extension, eg, d:\mame\mame82\zlib
3) Unzip vcmame82 source to the same bsae location, eg, d:\mame\mame82
4) Make sure you have a copy of the DX9 SDK from Microsoft installed.

You should now have the following directory layout:

zlib/		(Zlib source)
src/		(Standard Mame source)
src/vc		(VC Mame header & patches)
docs/		(Standard Mame docs)

Plus these files at the root:

vcmame.dsp
vcmame.dsw
a68200.dsp
c68200.dsp
chdman.dsp
romcmp.dsp
zlib.dsp
xml2info.dsp

Now, just load up vcmame.dsw and build the project!  Remember your built exe's will have the
filenames vcmame.exe & vcmamed.exe so make sure you name your ini files vcmame.ini and 
vcmamed.ini.

4: Compiling VCMame 0.82 under Visual C 7/7.1 (.NET 2002 & .NET 2003)
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Follow these steps, in this order!

1) Unzip mame source to a location on your hard drive, eg, d:\mame\mame82
2) Unzip zlib source to the same location with 'zlib' extension, eg, d:\mame\mame82\zlib
3) Unzip vcmame82 source to the same bsae location, eg, d:\mame\mame82
4) Make sure you have a copy of the DX9 SDK from Microsoft installed.

You should now have the following directory layout:

zlib/		(Zlib source)
src/		(Standard Mame source)
src/vc		(VC Mame header & patches)
docs/		(Standard Mame docs)

Plus these files at the root:

vcmame.sln
vcmame.vcproj
a68200.vcproj
c68200.vcproj
chdman.vcproj
romcmp.vcproj
zlib.vcproj
xml2info.vcproj

Now, just load up vcmame.sln and build the project!  Remember your built exe's will have the
filenames vcmame.exe & vcmamed.exe so make sure you name your ini files vcmame.ini and 
vcmamed.ini.
