|source = [https://github.com/mamedev/mame GitHub]}}'''[[wikipedia:MAME|MAME]]''' (originally an acronym for '''<u>M</u>ultiple <u>A</u>rcade <u>M</u>achine <u>E</u>mulator''') is a multi-platform, open-source, [[Multi-system emulators|multi-system emulator]] written in C++. The philosophy behind the project is to recreate the workings of machines through emulation, and thus the ability to actually play the games is "a nice side effect". MAME is incredibly large, [[MAME compatibility list|supporting thousands of machines and ROM sets]], though what is supported is not what's playable; your mileage may vary. In the event you don't like MAME's own interface, there are many alternative front-ends available.

|Something like this should work in theoryThe following is a non-destructive one-liner to decompress and recompress your files from zip to 7z. '''It has not been testedPlease account for at least a 3:1 space requirement, and about 3 seconds time per file (give or take). Keep in mind, proceed with cautionif you have any other folders present in the working directory it'll snag those too during the second step.'''

7z e (romset)for y in *.zip ; do 7z x "${y%}" -o (romset)/ *; done && for i in */; do 7z a (romset)"${i%/}".7z (romset)"./${i%}*"; done

Just After it's done, be sure to check and make sure that you've installed 7-the 7z and zip and it registers to the environment path, that youfiles're in contents match before deleting both the folder, zips and that you substitute (romset) for the name of the romset in the commandtheir extracted folders.
