MAME traces its roots to an earlier emulator project called Multi-Pac, but the name was changed as more and more games started to be emulated within the MAME framework. The project was started by the Italian programmer Nicola Salmoria. MESS, an emulator for many video game consoles and computer systems, based on the MAME core, was integrated upstream into MAME in 2015. The emulator now supports over seven thousand unique games and ten thousand actual ROM image sets, though not all of the supported games are playable. The first public MAME release (0.1) was on February 5, 1997, by Nicola Salmoria. Joystiq has listed MAME as an application that every Windows and Mac gamer should have. 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". The intention is to preserve gaming history by preventing vintage games from being lost or forgotten. MAME (originally an acronym of Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) is a free and open source emulator designed to recreate the hardware of arcade game systems in software on modern personal computers and other platforms.
