R/MAME RULES/REGULATIONS REDDIT'S ARCADE COMMUNITY Older arcades as well as select popular arcade machines, the Neo Geo and Capcoms CPS series, in particular, received. Over time, MAME (originally stood for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) absorbed the sister-project MESS (Multi Emulator Super System), so MAME now documents a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles and calculators, in addition to the arcade video games that were its initial focus. The fact that the software is usable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully?).

The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. The first public MAME release was by Nicola Salmoria on February 5, 1997. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions. MAME (originally an acronym of Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) is a free and open-source emulator designed to recreate the hardware of arcade game systems in software on modern personal computers and other platforms. As electronic technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents this important 'vintage' software from being lost and forgotten.

MAME’s purpose is to preserve decades of software history. MAME is a multi-purpose emulation framework.
