	First ~~off~~, you build it the ~~same way you build MAME, but add '''tools''' as a final option on~~ the command ~~line.~~ '''make ~~tools~~''' ~~on Windows, for example~~.		First, you need to build the application. This is done by the command: '''make TARGET=ldplayer'''.

	Secondly, while ldplayer uses the same default inipath as MAME, it looks for ldplayer.ini instead of mame.ini. To preserve your video and other options, make a copy of your mame.ini file named ldplayer.ini.
