MAME is an acronym for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, which is an emulator for various types of arcade machines with which you can play an endless number of games on your PC, regardless of the board or technology used; best of all, it adds new titles to its compatibility list with each new version.

The MAME project is focused on the preservation of arcade games after the machines on which they were originally played are no longer available. Given the impossibility of running many classic games on native hardware, emulation is the only way to preserve a gaming legacy that's still alive and well thanks to the nostalgia of those who loved going to arcades when they were younger.

Although the original versions of MAME didn't include a user interface, everything changed with the arrival of MAME64 and its frontend; now, you can easily browse your collection and filter games by name, year, or board, without searching for external programs. This, together with the legacy built by

MAME, makes it possible to emulate an inordinate amount of boards thanks to the work of a community that has selflessly contributed to the project for decades. From Neo Geo's MVS to Capcom's CPS, and SEGA's System line or Irem's plcas, thousands of games can be played with flawless emulation.

This emulator allows you to configure the controls, save games, modify the graphic options to add post-processing filters, and more. For this reason, MAME is the best way to play classic video games, whether on your PC or by connecting it to a real arcade machine.

Because they do not specify for which operating system the programs are or are, and if they support Windows 10 nThat way it would be easier to decide the download. Do not complicate us

I really like the new version of MAME because it includes a text mode interface to manage ROMS. MAME32 is fine, but it consumes a lot of resources. Well, let's play !!!
