MAME, formerly was an acronym which stood for Multi Arcade Machine Emulator, documents and reproduces through emulation the inner components of arcade machines, computers, consoles, chess computers, calculators, and many other types of electronic amusement machines. As a nice side-effect, MAME allows to use on a modern PC those programs and games which were originally developed for the emulated machines. Some relevant notes: - MAME and MESS merged in 2015, there is only one codebase now - Since version 0.172, MAME is GPLv2+ licensed [1], which means binary packages can now be built and distributed This port will replace emulators/sdlmame and emulators/sdlmess.
