MAME staat voor Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator en het programma doet precies wat de naam zegt. Het is in staat om een berg oude arcadegames en consoles te emuleren. Let daarbij wel op dat de meeste ROM-images onder een copyright vallen waardoor je een origineel exemplaar in huis moet hebben voordat je deze mag spelen met MAME. Sinds kort is versie 0.82 uitgebracht met "Happy birthday Haze" als extra toevoeging aan de naam. Het changelog ziet er als volgt uit:
