If you have any questions or would like to contribute to MESS or the wiki, feel free to join us in the IRC channel #mame on Freenode or at the MESS forum. However, not all of the systems in MESS are fully functional.

If you want to help, register a user name and look at the pages already in the Wiki to get an idea how things are currently laid out here.Īs of version 0.163, MESS supports 1,081 unique systems with 2,199 total system variations and is growing all the time (you can find a complete list of the supported systems here). The goal of this wiki is to document how to use MESS, the technical architecture of MESS, and the systems emulated by MESS. Please note that much of the documentation on this wiki and elsewhere has not yet been updated to take these changes into account. Prior to version 0.162 (May 2015), MAME only supported arcade machines, and MESS was a separate emulator for all other types of systems, built on the same code base, although there has been increasingly close cooperation between the teams for many years.ĪS OF VERSION 0.162, MAME AND MESS HAVE BEEN COMBINED INTO A SINGLE EMULATOR! It is still possible (for now) to compile a separate MESS executable, but only the combined version is available as an official download (this combined build is just called “ MAME”, and supports all of the same features MESS used to). As a nice side effect to this documentation, MAME allows software and games for these hardware platforms to be run on modern PCs. It has everything from Genesis to Nintendo.

SDL MESS is a HUGE console emulator for Mac.

AdvanceMAME, is a port of the MAME 0.106 and MESS 0.106 emulators for Arcade Monitors and TVs but also for. The same people who bring you all the wonderful SDL MAME updates for Mac now have another offering, SDL MESS.

MAME is a source-available project which documents the hardware for a wide variety of (mostly vintage) arcade machines, computers, video game consoles, and calculators through software emulation. They run in GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, DOS and Windows. Welcome to the official wiki for MESS ( Multi Emulator Super System), part of the MAME 1) project.
