Ook emuleert het een groot aantal oude spelcomputers, zoals de Commodore 64, Atari 2600, Gameboy en ZX Spectrum.

MAME 0.284:MAME 0.284 is ready just in time for the end of the year! Two interesting arcade prototypes have turned up this month. One is Saurian Front, an early version of what became Strike Force, developed at Williams before they acquired the Midway name. The other is a completely unreleased Atari game called Jammin’ that runs on Donkey Kong hardware. There are a few more Sega Model 2 fixes this month, helping Virtua Cop 2 in particular.
The Brainchild PLS-1000, a hand-held educational device from the ’90s that you may not even have heard of, is now emulated. You can now use various replacement keyboards for early Apple II computers, some of which had advanced features like macro recording. There were some big software list updates this month for quite a few computers. The floptool disk image utility included with MAME has improved usability. You can even simulate receiving a Sega Channel broadcast on your emulated Sega Genesis.
Of course, there’s far more in this release than we can talk about here, and you can read all about it in the whatsnew.txt file.
