 ==== MAME ====
 [[https://www.mamedev.org/|MAME]], the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, is a multi-purpose emulation framework which facilitates the emulation of vintage hardware and software. Originally targeting vintage arcade machines, MAME has since absorbed the sister-project [[http://mess.redump.net/start|MESS]] (Multi Emulator Super System) to support a wide variety of vintage computers, video game consoles and calculators as well. MAME doesn't use an individual "core" for each system like RetroArch does, instead the ROM itself usually contains the necessary information to accurately emulate it, thus making it specific to the version of MAME it was made for. Overall it's a very complicated subject, we have a [[:arcade|guide specific to arcade]] just for it.
 === MAME configuration ===
 MAME offers a **[[https://docs.mamedev.org/usingmame/ui.html|Menu]]** in-game (''[HOTKEY]'' + {{:wiki:south.png?nolink&20|South button (B SNES)}} or ''[Tab]'' on the keyboard). This can be used to manually adjust inputs or game settings. If you're having issues with a specific game, check the [[https://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/FAQ:Games|MAMEdev FAQ for that game here.]] For MESS systems specifically, you might find more information on [[http://mess.redump.net/start|MESS's wiki]]. All options can also be edited by opening the ''mame.ini'' file.

-===== Apple IIGS =====
-About halfway through the life of the Apple ][ family line, Apple released the Apple IIGS which was a significant change in hardware to the previous Apple 8-bit computers, using a 16-bit 65C816 microprocessor, 256KB or 1MB of RAM (expandable up to 1MB) and the highest resolution display (up to 640x200) and state-of-the-art sound capabilities with the Ensoniq ES5503 DOC 8-bit wavetable synthesis sound chip. Among all the other computers in the line, the Apple IIGS remained the most performant of the bunch, and for this reason it is usually the "default" system that Apple ][ emulators will use for running its software.
-However, the Apple IIGS was only around 95% backwards compatible with software designed for the original Apple ][ computers.
-<WRAP center round todo>
-How do you change it back to emulating an Apple ][? Or is this limitation not imposed by the emulator (like with Game Boy software)?
