[[File:Mess gx4000 pang.png|thumb|upright=1.2|MAME also has (still somewhat glitchy) support for the GX4000 and CPC+ series. Note the strange blue bar at the bottom in Here is shown ''[[Pang (cartridge)|Pang]]''for the GX4000.]]
'''MAME''' (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) is a multi-platform emulator for arcade games, home computers, gaming consoles, chess computers, calculators, etc. MAME 0.162 (released on May 27, 2015) merged the previously separate MAME and MESS (Multi Emulator Super System) projects into one, so that a single executable now combines the emulation capabilities of pre-0.162 MAME/MESS.
On OS X, you can install MAME via [http://brew.sh/ Homebrew]:
brew tap homebrew/games
brew install mame

Various Several GUI front-ends for MAME/MESS exist for Windows, Linux, and OS X:

*[http://www.mameui.info/ MAMEUI64] (Windows)
*[http://qmc2.arcadehits.net/ QMC2] (Windows, OS X, Linux)
Check with F11 if you still get 100% performance. If not, adjust frame skip with F8/F9.
Also, if you press the tilde (~) and then cursor up/down, you can adjust the shader settings(they are also under Slider Controls in the MAME menu). These are not saved at the moment though.[http://docs.mamedev.org/advanced/bgfx.html]
If you edit bgfx/chains/hlsl.json in a text editor, you can change the default values. E.g., to reduce the Moiré pattern, search for "Shadow Mask Amount" and change it to:
