MAME is basically a triumph of human achievement, and one of my go-to examples of why emulation development is useful outside of pirating video games. Yes, pirating video games is a common usecase of emulators, but it's not like the work preserving old computers is solely useful for games. A MOS 6502 is still a 6502 whether it's playing Mario or BASIC, and games turn out to just be a remarkably good (and fun) way to test accuracy of the emulation. I think there are lots of unique computers made in the world of synthesizers and game consoles and the like, and I am glad that the MAME project is doing what it can to make sure that these are not forgotten.
