===Negatron===
[http://www.babelsoft.net/products/negatron.htm Negatron's download page on official site of BabelSoft]. An [https://github.com/xinyingho/Negatron intuitive and info-oriented front-end] for MAME; & a prettier derivative of ageing MAME32/MAMEUI.
:<u>Prequisites:</u>
:- Java runtime environment (JRE); at least Java version 8 update 60, or newer.
:- [http://www.babelsoft.net/products/negamame.htm NegaMAME] strongly recommended if using MAME v0.186 (May 2017) or newer, as normal MAME builds block some info access on systems to 3rd-party frontends.
:- While not mandatory, Negatron also needs VLC media player 2.2.0 or newer on your computer in order to play video previews. VLC & JRE's bitness must match (eg. 32-bit or 64-bit).

'''[[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.
Much like the name says, MAME was supposed to be for arcade machines like Pac-Man back when it was released in 1997. A similar project called [[MESS]] was made to do essentially the same thing for home consoles and other esoteric devices that never got emulated, but it has since been merged into MAME by the end of May 2015 in version 0.162, and now it supports ''a whole lot more'' than arcade machines.

|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.'''
