The recommended toolchain for building RetroArch on Windows is MinGW-w64 running inside the MSYS2 environment. Installers for MSYS2 can be found at [https://msys2.github.io/ msys2.github.io]. Other toolchains like TDM-GCC or Visual Studio can work, but this guide will only cover MSYS2. | The recommended toolchain for building RetroArch on Windows is MinGW-w64 running inside the MSYS2 environment.

After installing the packages, close the MSYS2 shell and open either MinGW-w64 Win64 Shell for 64 bit builds or MinGW-w64 Win32 Shell if you want to build for 32 bit systems. Both should be available in your Start Menu. | After installing the packages, close the MSYS2 shell and open either MinGW-w64 Win64 Shell for 64-bit builds or MinGW-w64 Win32 Shell if you want to build for 32-bit systems.

This core will take a while to build, depending on how fast your CPU is, how many jobs you specify, and how many cores your CPU has. You can save some time updating the core by adding PARTIAL=1 when doing a clean. You can specify a subtarget by adding e.g. <code>SUBTARGET=arcade</code> or <code>SUBTARGET=tiny</code> in the current version of MAME. | This core will take a while to build, depending on how fast your CPU is, how many jobs you specify, and how many cores your CPU has.
