'''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 though separate MESS builds can still be compiledfrom the source.
