Multi Arcade Machine Emulator

Its a program that emulates standa up arcade machines so that the "games" called ROMS can be played on a PC.

Here's the offical site on it

Here's a good site about it http://www.arcadeathome.com/pics.phtml


As far as the controls...because M.A.M.E. has the ability to assign any keyboard key to any game function... most people just split/modify keyboards to connect directly to the controls.

Here's a good site just about controls...

A friend of mine just built one. I did the art work for his marquees. This is the type controller he used. And here's a thread I posted about it earlier.
