I remember playing MAME's first releases and how amazing it was to have Pacman and other classics emulated so well * on my very own PC *. It just gets better every release, and that it has been going on this long says a lot about the project. Other emulators are often faster, but it is important to keep in mind that MAME is more a documentation project than anything. Emulation is just a Happy Accident. Other projects like MiSTer FPGA will refer to its code to get an understanding of how a machine works. Bugs they find get rolled back into MAME, and so it goes.
