![]() Out of whatsnew - Working status by Sandro Ronco. Just changed the buttons to use the standard Poker HOLD style (IE: keys Z X C V B) as per cabinet design. Someone just needs to hook up the lamps and maybe a simple layout, although the actual keys on the machine are not labeled. Also deleted the bad_dump set 2. According to the dumper's notes it's a bad dump of set 3 as rom labels matched that set. Set 2 hangs when trying to play. New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status --------------------------------------------------- Mini-Boy 7 [Sandro Ronco] |

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.
