When the set ended, Maddy stepped down, her eyes scanning the room. She caught Kenna’s gaze, and a smile spread across her face. “You look like you’ve got a story to tell,” she said, voice warm and inviting.
Later, as they packed up, Maddy turned to Kenna. “You’ve got something special. How about we record this and see where it goes?”
They shook hands, the promise of future collaborations humming between them like the lingering notes of a perfect song. The neon sign outside flickered once more, as if winking at the new partnership forged under its glow.
At the bar, Kenna ordered a whiskey on the rocks, the ice clinking like tiny bells. She glanced at the stage and saw a lone figure—Maddy—adjusting the piano lid, her dark hair a halo of curls. The audience fell silent as Maddy’s fingers brushed the keys, and the first chord resonated like a promise.
She pressed play, and the room filled with a rhythm that blended smooth jazz with a subtle, pulsing electronic undercurrent. Maddy’s eyes widened; the groove was infectious. She tapped her foot, then lifted her own, matching the beat with a graceful sway.
Legal mentions
You are not allowed to distribute MAME in any form if you sell, advertise, or publicize illegal CD-ROMs or other media containing ROM images. This restriction applies even if you don't make money, directly or indirectly, from those activities. You are allowed to make ROMs and MAME available for download on the same website, but only if you warn users about the ROMs's copyright status, and make it clear that users must not download ROMs unless they are legally entitled to do so.
If you really like playing these games then you might like the authentic feeling that playing on an arcade machine can bring that can't be reproduced on your PC. Standing at the cabinet, using the microswitch joystick and buttons, looking at the arcade monitor. Nothing beats this.
You can actually build your own, using woodworking skills or you can buy from companies the various parts that you need, like the marquees that display the name of the game to the sideart that is displayed on the side. These cabinets can contain either an original Jamma harness (for attaching real arcade boards) or a computer so you can run MAME on the cabinet. But then there are retro consoles and cabinets...
Some games need audio samples. The games will run without samples but then miss certain or all sounds. Samples are kept in another directory than the roms-images. Keep that in mind because otherwise you might overwrite a rom-image with its sample.
Attention: Most roms here are outdated by now, and I have no source to update them. So a lot of the might not work with up to date MAME versions. Sorry for that.
If you use an adblocker in some cases you won't be able to download any of the files. Please consider to deactivate your adblocker and refresh this page to be able to enjoy retro arcade games.
Below you find my favorite game image files for download. But if you are looking for a complete romset you're in the wrong place. These file dumps are of version 0.260 from a full split rom set; all games should thus be self contained.

Did you know, that some versions of the emulator have a network option, enabling two or more players in the LAN or even the internet to play together? Candidats are Fightcade and Kaillera, while MAME itself seems not to support network play. Setup should be easy enough in your LAN. For WAN on the other hand, for example via a cable internet connection, at least the user of the "master" computer (the other - client - connects to) must know his or her public IP address. This article describes the problem, offers a solution and also reveals the user's public IP address. The master then just starts the emuator and enables the networking play option and tells the client(s) his or her public IP.
