- For games supported by MAME, see Category:MAME.
MAME is an emulator for arcade systems. Unlike other emulators, which seek to handle all games for their focus systems, MAME only supports games for which support has specifically been added to the emulator. It currently supports over 6000 different games (approximately 3500 of those are unique games, the rest are clones).
