MAME is a multi-purpose emulation framework.
MAME’s 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.
The MAME project as a whole is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, 2 (GPL-2.0), since it contains code made available under multiple GPL-compatible licenses. A great majority of files (over 90% including core files) are under the BSD-3-Clause License and we would encourage new contributors to distribute files under this license.

Due of real life issues and concerns, I've decided it would be best to
step back and give coordination of the project to someone else who can
keep the project moving forward. So, effective immediately, I am
passing the leadership of the MAME project to the current MESS project
leader, Miodrag Milanovic (Micko).
I would like to extend a word of thanks to everybody that has
contributed to MAME this year including developers, testers and
individual users alike. I also would like to assure you all that I
will not be leaving the project and my stepping back is simply to
allow myself a temporary break so that I might concentrate my time on
other issues.
