'''[[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 focus on recreating the workings of various machines through emulation, with the software's ability to actually play console games being described as "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 [[Frontends#MAME|many alternative frontends]] 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 Over time, MAME has incorporated similar projects out of a necessity to keep development active and prevent duplication of work (as some arcade machines often shared hardware with consoles to ease development of games); the first project called to be merged was [[MESS]] was made to do essentially at the same thing end of May 2015 starting with version 0.162 and it functioned almost exactly like MAME but for home consoles and other esoteric devices that never got emulatedelsewhere. MAME also had a policy against emulating gambling machines, but it that decision has since been reversed and the project that aimed to get them working, <abbr title="Arcade Gambling Extensions for MAME">AGEMAME</abbr>, has also been merged into MAME by the end of May 2015 in version 0.162Gaelco Futbol 3 hardware (their rides had nothing to do with soccer), Falgas M89 and now it supports ''a whole lot more'' than arcade machinesHappy Video are only "very small" motion simulators added to the MAME.

MAME either has lots of standardization on how When developers know more about a system, they often have to organize the ROM dumps, or it has very little, dump more components like ROMs and sometimes the given information can be vague and confusingBIOSes if necessary. A single game may need lots of files for the dump It's highly recommended to even register, and separate folders for the BIOS files of consolesuse a ROM management tool such as RomCenter or ClrMamePro. For machines that use stuff like hard drives and optical disks to store its dataWithout these programs, MAME has a special format called Compressed Hunks of Data (CHD) which uses it'll take you a number of compression methods lot longer to reduce find the size of necessary files for a raw image filegame.

It is highly recommended to use a ROM management tool such Something as popular as RomCenter or ClrMamePro. Without all Pac-Man will probably never need newer dumps beyond the current ones because it's been continually researched from the beginning, and the ROMs have been pretty widespread, but for very rare machines, MAME will see continuous changes in the required files and file versionsit needs as more information is discovered about the system. You can expect these ROMs to surface online in some form, but you may as well never get them directly from the game simply will not workdevelopers themselves.

MAME is '''very strict''' about what components of a ROM dump it needs to even function, and it may tell you if something is wrong with the files (i.e. a failed checksum); only a ROMset with all the newest information will work in recent versions of MAME. For machines that use stuff like hard drives and optical disks to store its data, MAME has its own format called Compressed Hunks of Data (CHD) which uses a number of compression methods to reduce the size of a raw image file. This format also allows MAME to use 7-Zip archives for ROMsets in place of Zip files. ===Frontends===MAME used to be a command line application that was launched by a separately licensed frontend. However, with MAME relicensing as open source in 2016, the developers have since incorporated MEWUI as its built-in interface. However, it still accepts command-line parameters, allowing most frontends to keep working. You can see a list of them '''[[Frontends#MAME|here]]'''. ===History===MAME was first released on February 5, 1997 by Nicola Salmoria as a Pac-Man emulator,<ref name="worldofstuart">[http://worldofstuart.excellentcontent.com/mameover.htm MAME OVER] (0.99)</ref><ref name="History">{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgJF18Pm7MA|title=A Brief History of Emulation: MAME|publisher=Youtube|accessdate=2018-09-14|date=2017-12-02}}</ref> but before he could do any more work on the project he handed it over to Mirko Buffoni in April 1997 after being required to do National Service in the Italian army.<ref name="worldofstuart"/> Since then, even as early as 2003, the emulator has become very extensive, with the majority of arcade system boards from the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s supported. MAME originally used a custom BSD license that prohibited commercial use in a few ways. This was mainly used to deter arcade operators from monetizing an emulated version of a widely available commercial title like Pac-Man. However, the MAME team didn't have the funds to afford prosecutors, so this was never effectively enforced. Through an extensive relicensing process in 2016, the project completely changed to a combination of GPL/BSD where applicable. This allowed them to merge the codebase for the MEWUI frontend into the main application starting with version 0.171 (February 2016). ===Support===You can support the efforts of MAME developers, dumpers and other stakeholders with donations or resources to procure PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) of arcade games, and all other computing or electronic devices that have digital screen output and in most cases, audio support; upload materials such as artwork of arcade cabinets, special handheld units and pinball tables, among other hardware examples.* [https://smitdogg.mameworld.info/du/donate.html The Dumping Union] (Based in the USA.

Many emulators other than MAME are beginning to support Compressed Hunks of Data, mainly because compared to the alternatives, it offers compression (or ''better'' compression) on all fronts. [[Libretro]] is making an initiative to support them thanks to a successful bounties initiative, and in many cores such as their [[Mednafen|Beetle]] fork, they've begun rolling it out for certain platforms like Saturn and PlayStation , so people can test it.

If you're interested in trying it out for yourself, this guide will show you how to convert to the format using MAME's command-line tool called <code>chdman</code>. We'll warn you now that you will need to know how to use either a Unix shell or the command prompt in order to use it. The developers of MAME seemingly don't have plans to give <code>chdman</code> an interface , so if the thought of going back to the DOS days scares you too much, you may have to wait.

|+How To to <small>(Terminalterminal)</small>

MAME keeps a database of romsets including what each file should be named. If the ROM dump is obtained through a ZIP file, you can uncompress the files inside and transfer them to a 7-Zip file for better compression. The 7-Zip archive HAS to have the exact same name (not the same file extension , obviously).

|+How Toto

|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.
