Gisteren is er een nieuwe versie van MAME uitgekomen. De update is genummerd 0.96 en kan in verschillende varianten vanaf deze pagina worden gedownload. MAME is een afkorting voor Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator is een programma die het mogelijk maakt om 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. Vanaf deze release wordt MAME onder een nieuwe licentie uitgebracht om zo commercieel gebruik verder tegen te gaan. De release notes van versie 0.96 laten zich als volgt weg lezen:
