MAME stands for Multi Arcade Machine Emulator. As the name suggests, it is
|
||
|
|
a program that emulates the hardware (and low-level firmware) of a massive
|
||
|
|
variety of arcade machines.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MESS stands for Multi Emulator Super System. It is an emulator for the
|
||
|
|
hardware of many different games consoles (e.g. Sega, NES, SNES, etc.)
|
||
|
|
as well as many different old games-oriented home computers (e.g. C64,
|
||
|
|
C128, ZX80, etc.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While the two programs are conceptually different, and have different
|
||
|
|
development teams, they share a lot of code and are distributed together.
