The sound emulation is very wrong in places too, missing entire sound channels in some games, some audio just playing as noise because again, it's so old nobody really understood the audio chips properly back then. It doesn't emulate any of the raster effects, so games like Super Sidekicks 2,3,4 are unplayable, background effects are missing in the Metal Slug games etc. It requires specifically hacked roms to work around emulation bugs. because they came from less than legitimate sites (mostly chinese emulation pages) People tended to not like having their drives wiped after running the program a certain number of times or remote control backdoors being installed on their machines, so that pushed it further our of favor.

various hack builds exist, but often they were also loaded with trojans / viruses etc. The last official version *barely* works on anything newer than Windows 98 without severe instability in many cases. It was last updated about 20 years ago, it's from a time when even things like the CPU the NeoGeo uses wasn't fully understood, so there are various logic bugs. r/pinball - Pinball specific discussion.

R/MAME RULES/REGULATIONS REDDIT'S ARCADE COMMUNITY 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 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?). The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions.

As electronic technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents this important 'vintage' software from being lost and forgotten. MAME’s purpose is to preserve decades of software history. MAME is a multi-purpose emulation framework. Questions? Please check out OUR MAME/BYOAC Wiki!
