Prior to the creation of this emulator, the enormous diversity of the hardware of the arcade machines made the emulation of their games a very complex and untidy task. To facilitate the emulation of the recreational machines, Nicola Salmona created MAME by merging several emulators he had been working on. It based its structure on a modular architecture, in which each component of the hardware was emulated by a specific driver, in such a way that for the emulation of a machine, it is enough to give the information of what components it has, and how they relate.

The goal of the development of MAME is to contribute to the conservation of games that, otherwise, disappear forever by disappearing the machines that contained them, contributing to preserve the history of video games.

The difficulty of accessing the plates hardware of the original arcades, to study them and to extract the ROMs copy of the software of the machine, which contains the game itself. The encryption used internally by many recreational, as a means to avoid piracy. Possible legal problems that might occur if too recent, even commercialized, games are emulated. But, other programming languages were used as well such as Python and C for some drivers in order to make the software more usable.

The first version was developed by Nicola Salmoria completely, but the MAME team was responsible for major help for later versions of the emulator. Installation varies. ROMs are read-only files.
