In Reply to: One more question on the "OK" screens and recompiling MAME posted by RoarCade on 21, 2000 at 10:19 AM:
: For those of us who do not have the "recompiling" software/utilities on their computers, what is needed (Compiler? Drivers, etc. etc.)?
: Also, what are the instructions (step-by-step) to do this "recompiling". I'm asking this because people are posting step-by-steps on what to modify, and where, and finish with "then just recompile!"
: For us programming-unfriendly, what EXACTLY does that mean?
: Thanks!
