Contents. Downloads. History Nicola Salmoria started MAME in 1997 as a Pac-Man emulator. Salmoria handed the project over to Mirko Buffoni in April 1997 because he had to do his National Service in the Italian army.
Overview MAME is very extensive, with the majority of arcade system boards from the 1970's, 1980's and early 1990's supported. Do not expect support for more recent boards, such as atomiswave. MAME focuses on and archiving arcade games, which means it does not always focus on usability for the end user. Only the most up to date romdumps will work in the latest MAME.
ROM dumps Due to the design of MAME, it is often confusing how ROMs work under it and what's needed. A single game may require numerous files inside its zip, samples for missing sounds, CHD (Compressed Hunks of Data), and BIOS.
To help manage all these files, it is highly recommended to use a ROM management tool such as RomCenter or clrmamepro. Without all the required files and file versions, the game simply will not work. When handling MAME files, do not rename the game files or unzip them. MAME requires each file to be named according to its database, or else it won't know where to look. CHD files need to be in your rom folder in its own directory with the same name of the CHD such as C:/MAME/Roms/gamename/gamename.chd.
