Welcome to the official MAME development team site. This site is intended to be the official communications channel for the development team.

At the moment, this site is in "beta" mode in order to get feedback on the new license and the other info that appears on the left-hand side. Note that most of the text from the old license didn't really belong in a license, and is now a separate document called About MAME. If you have feedback, please use the contact form to send it to the appropriate place.

What you will find here:

• announcements of official releases
• links to the official source code distribution
• information on the MAME license and trademark
• links to useful MAME-related sites
• a means of contacting the team and some of the individual developers

What you will not find here:

• binary distributions of MAME
• message boards
• chat rooms

For that kind of stuff, go to mame.net.

Hopefully this site will help end some of the confusion over how to contact the team and where the official releases come from.
