Offy's MAME Project: Who writes MAME?

Who writes MAME?

MAME was originally started in January 1997, by Nicola Salmoria. Originally, Nicola developed single emulators for individual games, such as Lady Bug, Mr. Do!, Pengo, and a multiple game emulator of the various early Pac Man games. One month later, Nicola decided to combine the emulators into a multiple game emulator format, which is now known world wide as MAME. Today, there are well over 100 people contributing to the MAME project.

MAME is available for a wide variety of operating systems. While it's primary developing environment is MS-DOS, MAME is also available for such systems as: Windows 32bit, Macintosh, Unix, Amiga, and Acorn/RISC.
