After downloading JP's Romplayer, you can download more games by clicking on the game system at the top of this page. All comments are welcome. Direct downloads are now availible on most games.

This has been tested on Windows XP, Vista, and 7, and works great! I do believe this will work on Windows 95 and above, but it has not been tested. If you try it on a system older than XP, please send me some email at jpriest2121@aol.com.

A keyboard can be used to play these games, but I would reccommend using a usb controller. I use one myself and it works great. I got mine of of Ebay for about $7.00. Click on the controller picture to get yours, on Ebay.

Legal Issues

Owning and distributing MAME itself is legal in most countries, as it is merely an emulator. Some companies (notably Sony and Nintendo) have attempted in court to prevent emulators from being sold, but they have been ultimately unsuccessful. As yet, no legal action has been brought against the MAME team.

The situation regarding ROM images of games is less clear-cut. Most arcade games are still covered by copyright.

Some copyright holders have been indecisive regarding making licensed MAME ROMs available to the public. For example, in 2003 Atari made MAME-compatible ROMs for 27 of its arcade games available through the internet site Star ROMs. However, a status check in March 2006 revealed a reversal of that decision, and the ROMs are no longer being sold there.

Other copyright holders have released games which are no longer commercially viable free of charge to the public. These games may be downloaded legally from web sites. However these Roms cannot be sold.
