I remember downloading it like 6-7 years back and not liking it over individual emulators. Now though it's so easy to download cores and run so many different emulators under one application. It even has runahead latency reduction which is nifty, not to mention it's huge library of shaders.

Now the only problem I have is I can't find a good site for arcade roms that isn't some shady shit. Vimm's Lair, my usual go to, doesn't host arcade roms sadly.

    Archive.org is always your friend for Mame roms: https://archive.org/download/mame-merged/mame-merged/

    And to make the abbreviated roms' name intelligible, I recommend this site: https://mame.spludlow.co.uk/

      The best way to download MAME roms is to just download a full romset so you don't have to deal with the annoyance of missing some BIOS pack you needed to play your game. It'll take up a ton of space to download, but there are tools to help you get rid of stuff (non-working games, porn games hentai-free, paremovedo/mahjong/gambling games etc.).

      edit: lol, there's an inadvertent slur in there, but it's referring to a Japanese gambling thing where you launch metal balls.
