Compiling instructions (for Windows x64)
----------------------------------------

If you want to compile by yourself, it's also very easy to. Just follow these steps:

1. You'll need both MinGW and .git installed in your system. If you already have, you can skip these steps:

I. Download MingGW x64 (http://mingw-w64.org/doku.php). Install and make sure that the following paths are in your enviroment table (you can check searching for "enviroment path" in your windows search and opening "Edit enviroment path").

II. Download and install git (https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git).

2. Open a command prompt in your directory of choice and clone bsnes/higan/ares with the command:
`git clone https://github.com/bsnes-emu/bsnes.git`

3. Go to `bsnes` folder with: `cd bsnes`.

4. Now you just need to put the command: `mingw32-make`. The compilation will start.

5. The brand new compiled file will be at directory `./bsnes/out`. Enjoy!
