etabeta78 5bff739d72 ui: stop the game selector reporting systems with no roms as 
missing files. [Fabio Priuli]

ui: when launching systems with mandatory carts, either from
command line or from the game selector, prompt the user with
the file manager menu so that he can mount a game where
needed, instead of killing emulation with an error. [Fabio Priuli]

out of whatsnew: it is now finally possible to launch nes and
snes and a2600 (and a few more) from the internal system
selector! also MESS doesn't error out anymore if you launch
such systems with no carts mounted from command line.

in short: emulation finally behaves as users typically expect!

nl_examples Preliminary support for LTE dynamic time-stepping based on Local truncation error. This enables the possibility to connect a capacitor between ground and a TTL output and get a e.g. 100 ns delay with a 1nF capacitor. 2014-05-15 22:50:40 +00:00

What is MAME?

MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.

MAME's purpose is to preserve decades of video-game history. As gaming technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents these important "vintage" games from being lost and forgotten. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions. The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. The fact that the games are playable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully?).

What is MESS?

MESS (Multi Emulator Super System) is the sister project of MAME. MESS documents the hardware for a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles, and calculators, as MAME does for arcade games.

The MESS and MAME projects live in the same source repository and share much of the same code, but are different build targets.

How to compile?

If you're on a *nix system, it could be as easy as typing

make

for a MAME build, or

make TARGET=mess

for a MESS build (provided you have all the prerequisites).

For Windows users, we provide a ready-made build environment based on MinGW-w64. Visual Studio builds are also possible.

Where can I find out more?
