'''MESS''' (an acronym for '''<u>M</u>ulti <u>E</u>mulator <u>S</u>uper <u>S</u>ystem''') was a multi-platform, open-source, [[Multi-system emulators|multi-system emulator]]. The philosophy behind the project was to recreate the workings of machines like [http://mamedev.emulab.it/haze/2014/04/07/ume-0-153/#comment-34664 cash registers] through emulation. MESS started as a fork of [[MAME]], keeping its philosophy but expanding the amount of target machines widely. Though the teams are separate from each other, the codebase for MESS merged with MAME in 2015.
