Compiling

Windows

1. Open the solution in VS2015/2017
2. Compile as Release/x64 or Release/x86
3. Run

Linux

To compile and run Mesen under Linux, you will need:

• A recent version of clang/gcc
• Mono 4.2.1+ (package: mono-devel)
• SDL2 (package: libsdl2-dev)

The makefile contains some more information at the top. Running "make" will build the x64 version by default, and then "make run" should start the emulator.
