About

A multi-purpose emulation framework. Its purpose is to preserve decades of software history. As electronic technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents this important «vintage» software from being lost and forgotten. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions. The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. The fact that the software is usable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully?). Over time, MAME (originally stood for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) absorbed the sister-project MESS (Multi Emulator Super System), so MAME now documents a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles and calculators, in addition to the arcade video games that were its initial focus.

Note that due to limitations in the workaround this Winget package uses to treat a 7-Zip self-extraction as a successful install, this package does not add MAME to PATH or to the Start menu.

It also does not write to registry, and therefore does not show up among the PC's installed apps, and is unable to be easily checked for updates with «winget update» either.

Copy a command tailored to that specific architecture, type, and scope - useful when winget would otherwise pick a different default.

Security

No known CVEs for MAME.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
