summary : Emulator for several hardware platforms to keep old games playable
description: |
- MAME's purpose is to preserve decades of software history. As electronic technology continues to rush
- forward, MAME prevents this important "vintage" software 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 software is usable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation
- (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully?). Over time, MAME 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.
