MAME is an acronym for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, which means it is an emulator of various types of recreational arcades that lets you enjoy an endless number of games on your computer, independantly of the technology used, extending its compatibilty with every new version.

Mame32 Emulator Install A Frontend

The basic MAME download doesnt include any type of graphic GUI, so if you install a frontend you will have to use the command line to execute it, or use the basic menu that is included in the program once you access the game, from which you can also visualize the content of the ROMs folder (where the games are included).

The best thing to do is to find an external management tool like Mame Plus or Mame 32 to navigate through your games collection.

The emulator lets you configure controls, save games, or change graphic settings to add post-processing filters, among other things.

The intent of this emulator is preservation; the ability to play games is considered a side-effect.

MAME supports thousands of classic arcade games, although not all of them are playable.

As of version 0.162 MAME absorbed its sister-project MESS (Multi Emulator Super System) which means it is also capable of playing games for classic game consoles.

If you do not like this menu, there are a few other options: the MAMEUI port (which, as the name suggests, adds a Windows user-interface to MAME) or frontends.

So for single player, insert coin by pressing 5 and start the game by pressing 1.

Mame32 Emulator Archive That Holds

Be aware that a complete collection can take a lot of disk space (over 50GB, and you need double that to extract the archive that holds all the ROMs).

The reason for this is that arcade ROMs tend to consist of multiple files.
