Will let you know how I get on.

Correction to above post: after making a change to the code I hit "build", not "rebuild". Update Last night, I tried some more things to speed the build up. I took some tips from here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/10/26/recommendations-to-speed-c-builds-in-visual-...

I've managed to get MAME building with Visual Studio 2015, and am currently tinkering with the GORF arcade driver, for my own research.
