MAME, or Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, is the reason that this cabinet is in existence.  It is an emulator that allows you to play a multitude of old arcade games.  The emulator runs the games (called  Roms) exactly as they were in the arcade.

You can download these Roms from sites on the Internet.  I did this and it was a lengthy process.  I believe I had downloaded about 350 games before it became too much to do.  I had found a service mentioned a number of places that would create you a set of disks that contained all of the current Roms, for a small charge.  This charge was to cover shipping and handling, as well as the blank media costs.  I used an excellent individual who created me two DVDs full of the Roms, and other assorted goodies.  I paid under $18 for it.  The site is http://www.tombstones.org.uk/~arcadelover/.  I feel it is an extremely good deal.  *1/9/06 Update- It appears the previous link is dead.  Another proven burner is  http://www.us-lazarus.com/rom-burner/.

You will still need to download the most recent version of MAME, which you can do from many sites, including http://www.mame.net/ and  www.mameworld.net.  These sites can also provide you with more information on MAME.

I also have used another individual to purchase all of the laserdisk games that Daphne uses.  I paid $30 for 3 DVDs.  His email address is mameburner@jbowers.com.  He was a pleasure to deal with.
