REBUILDING FROM SOURCES:

AMIGA:

Prerequesites:

Bebbo's amiga gcc compiler
Windows
python
sox
"bitplanelib.py" (asset conversion tool needs it) at https://github.com/jotd666/amiga68ktools.git

Build process:

install above tools & adjust python paths
make -f makefile.am

When changing asset-related data (since dependencies aren't good):

To update the "graphics.68k" & "palette*.68k" files from "assets/amiga" subdir, just run the "convert_graphics.py" python script,
To update sounds, use "convert_sounds.py" python script (audio) to create sound*.68k files.

NEO GEO:

Prerequesites:

Windows
NeoDev kit (Fabrice Martinez, Jeff Kurtz, et al)
https://wiki.neogeodev.org/index.php?title=Development_tools

Build process:

install NeoDev and set path accordingly
clone repository
make -f makefile.ng OUTPUT={cart|cd}
- (OUTPUT defaults to cart)

Install process (MAME):

make -f makefile.ng OUTPUT={cart|cd} MAMEDIR={mamedir} install
- (mamedir defaults to '.')
