First download the source code for the emulators you want to edit, and they will each come with some sort of readme or howto compile text file that tells you which compiler you should use. I can't get any more specific than that since you didn't say what you know how to do already or which emulators you want to edit or what sorts of changes you're thinking of making.

I am trying to compile this http://advancemame.sourceforge.net I got advancecomp-1.15-windows-pentium Let's see if it works. EDIT: Just tried, It did'nt work. I don't know it's compiler or what :( Just tell me a multi compile which can compiler all emulators from here :) I am actually interested to add latest Games support in current FBA Rerecord version.

advancecomp-1.15-windows-pentium is the name of the binaries file ; for the source you need advancemame-0.104.0.tar.gz just unzip it and read the BUILD file. here's an extract (since you got the windows version, I suppose you want to compile it under that OS) :
5.4 Windows ----------- To build in Windows you need the following software: MINGW 1.1 (or newer) MINGW GNU gcc C/C++ 3.2.3 (or never) NASM 0.98.33 (or newer) SDL 1.2.4 (or newer) FreeType 2.1.7 (or newer) The only tested compiler version is 3.2.3. Other versions should work.
you can get mingw seperately, or inside environments like dev-cpp or cygwin. as for visual c++, I don't know, it could be quite complicated to make all the needed libraries work. good luck, mame has a very impressive source tree, since it emulates tons of hardware.

are you sure you can do it if you don't even know how to compile sources of those emulators?..

Personally I don't understand your question at all. You want to edit some emulator's source code? Then you ask a compiler for three game consoles?

It does'nt mean if i am beginner, i will remain beginner. i have Various FBA open source emulators (which have all games supported) Joining or something will help in this.
