MAME's purpose is to preserve decades of software history. As electronic technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents this important "vintage" software from being lost and forgotten. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions. The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. The fact that the software is usable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully?). Over time, MAME (originally stood for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) absorbed the sister-project MESS (Multi Emulator Super System), so MAME now documents a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles and calculators, in addition to the arcade video games that were its initial focus.

Pantheon emulates the Acorn Atom, Acorn BBC Micro, Acorn Electron, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Atari 800/XE, Atari Lynx, ColecoVision, Magnavox Odyssey 2, MSX computers, and Sega Master System. The emulator will download games from various sources online.

This is quite an interesting project by Juan Carlos González Amestoy, in which we will now simulate Sinclair and Amstrad machines creating their virtual machines, the environment allows not only to recreate their work, but also shaders fairly faithful reproduction of the CRT image (a lot of settings), sound (again, there is something to experiment on), but also allows for sentimental watching of the spinning cassettes;) Reto Virtual Machine also gives you the possibility of emulating divMMC (if someone would like to check how the SD card images will behave on real equipment - quite useful function). Well, a fairly short contact and very cursory use is optimistic - it is clear that this 60 mb trestle requires a little from the PC guts (or Mac, because like most modern emulators is multiplatform), on the other side the view of the emulated monitor Read more

There is a new version of one of the oldest, if not the oldest, a frontend for MAME - Mame Classic. MC is terribly annoying to set up, does not like the x64, but the Conservatives have a full range of facilities which allows you to bypass all the arcade machines, which are not included in the canon of author Richard A. Insalaco (NeoGeo ranging from nasty :) :).
