Top Definition MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.
When used in conjunction with an arcade game's data files
(ROMs), MAME will more or less faithfully reproduce that game on
a PC. MAME can currently emulate over 3000 unique (and over 5400
in total) classic arcade video games from the three decades of
video games - '70s, '80s and '90s, and even some from the
current millennium. MAME's purpose is to preserve these decades
of video-game history. dodane przez RaMDaY lipiec 25, 2005 A
