To use the Advance Projects in DOS and Windowsyou have to download one of the binary packages.For Linux, Mac OS X and other platforms you must download the source package and compile it.
Good starting points are the build.txtand install.txt documentation files.
The aim of MAME is to be a reference to the inner workings of the emulated arcade machines; the ability to actually play the games is considered 'a nice side effect'.

MegaGames - founded in 1998, is a comprehensive hardcore gaming resource covering PC, Xbox One, PS4, Wii U, Mobile Games, News, Trainers, Mods, Videos, Fixes, Patches.
You can download all the previous versions from SourceForge.
