M.A.M.E.
The Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator

Warning!! MAME is an emulator. It reproduces, more or less faithfully, the behaviour of several arcade machines. But hardware is useless without software, so an image of the ROMs which run on that hardware is required. Such ROMs, like any other commercial software, are copyrighted material and it is therefore illegal to use them if you don't own the original arcade machine. Needless to say, ROMs are not distribuited together with MAME. Distribuition of MAME together with ROM images is a violation of copyright law and should be promptly reported to the author so that appropriate legal action can be taken.
Sources are available for your own non-commercial purpose. Read the licence section for more info. If you have submissions to do, send them to mame@lim.dsi.unimi.it.

MAME is a freeware product. The latest version is 0.29. You can find here the binaries and the sources in two separate archives. You can also find two programs needed to create MAME samples, and a nice batch MAME launcher.

Mame029b.zip 587Kb This is the binary archive of MAME version 0.29.
It contains the MAME.EXE and documentation. Read carefully the instructions before mailing for Help.
Mame029w.zip 715Kb This is the official port of MAME version 0.29 for Windows 95 and Windows NT. It requires Direct X installed in order to run on your PC. (If you don't have them it will say DDRAW.DLL is needed!). If you have problems with this version, please contact the mantainer: Christopher Kirmse ( ckirmse@ricochet.net)
Mame029s.zip 1141Kb This is the complete source pack for version 0.29. Mame supports now 258 games!!

MameSam.zip 7Kb With this program you can convert any PCM file in a MAME sample. A MAME sample has a simple header containing the sample rate, volume and bit resolution, plus the PCM raw data.
WavToSam.zip 10Kb With this program you can convert any WAV file in a MAME sample.
MameBatch.bat 1.6Kb This is a quite nice DOS batch file that launch MAME and keep zipped rom images.

Some of the games requires a set of samples to get the sound working correctly. Here they are: the Directory field is where they are supposed to be put to let MAME use them. Remember that Gottlieb games such as Qbert and Mad Planets do not require samples anymore. However speech is not yet emulated!
I've also lost the explosion sample to be used in RallyX. If the guy who sent me the sample is reading this, please resend it so I'll made it available for download.
