MAME (an acronym of Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) is an emulator for arcade game systems. The aim of MAME is to be a reference to the inner workings of the emulated arcade machines; the ability to actually play the games is considered "a nice side effect".
The emulator supports over seven thousand unique games and ten thousand actual ROM image sets, though not all of the supported games are playable. There are many MAME front-ends available.

MAME is very extensive, with the majority of arcade system boards from the 70's, 80's and early90's supported. Do not expect support for more recent boards, such as atomiswave. MAME focuses on accuracy and archiving arcade games, which means it does not always focus on usability for the end user. Only the most up to date romdumps will work in the latest MAME.
Rom dumps
MAME is kind of a bitch when it comes with roms. You need a romset that matches the version of the emulator you are using or some roms won't work.
List of Arcade systems emulated
- List of arcade games that DON'T work This list is one year old, so it may be outdated. Don't expect most recent games (like Naomi ones) to run at fullspeed, MAME is very resource intensive.
- Cave SH3 (Mushihime-sama and other Cave shmups). This driver was removed from recent versions of MAME due to complaints from Cave. There are some custom builds that add it. (someone should upload one to Mediafire).
Frontends
MAME uses many front ends. Please expand this section.
