MAME Database (updated to MAME version 0.129 )

MAME Database: Search for game info by name, year, manufacturer, category, status, etc... This site contains screen shots, cabinet images, control panel images and technical specs for all games emulated by MAME. If you can't find the game here then it isn't emulated by MAME.

Don't know what MAME is? MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) is an emulator for pretty much every arcade game ever made before 1999. To get MAME working you need both the emulator (MAME) and the ROMS. Getting the ROMS is a bit tricky and more than likely illegal, unless you also own the original arcade game. I have no intention of getting shut down, so there are no ROMS on this site. Read the FAQ for some useful tips to get the latest ROMS.

To download the MAME executable or for more info check out the MAME website.

This site is constantly evolving. If you have any ideas on ways this site may be more useful to you or features you would like to see then please contact me. The usefulness of this site is largely dependent on feedback that I receive from you.
