About the project
An emulation framework that documents and preserves vintage arcade machines, computers, consoles and calculators by recreating their hardware in code. The source serves as documentation, and working emulation validates its accuracy.
Useful for
- Run an old arcade game or console system on a modern PC
- Build MAME from source with make for your platform
- Study the source to learn how specific vintage hardware worked

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
