What is MacMAME?
MacMAME is computer software which makes your Mac behave exactly like an arcade video game. When you use MacMAME to play Pac-Man, for example, your Mac will behave just like a real Pac-Man arcade game, all the way down to asking you to insert a coin (which you do by pressing ‘5’ on your keyboard). It’s not just a Mac version of Pac-Man; it is identical to the original arcade game, with all of the original’s levels, options, sounds, and glitches intact. This is called ’emulation,’ and MacMAME currently emulates over three thousand arcade games. A few of these aren’t yet emulated perfectly, and may have sound or gameplay glitches, but MacMAME is continually being updated and improved.
