What is MAME like running on a DreamAuthentics Video Arcade?

January 13, 2009 · DreamAuthentics Blog Team

Lots of people love to play classic video arcade games on Mame Cabinets like DreamAuthentics.

The term “MAME” means Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator and is one of the most powerful emulator technologies to preserve the old-school classic gaming platforms that are no longer being developed or manufactured.

Video Arcades, or Interactive Kiosks as they are called today formerly were single board PCB (Printed Circuit Boards) that did a single task - such as running a video game like Centipede.

Here is a picture of a Centipede PCB taken out of an 80’s Video Arcade cabinet. Today, this entire board is now a piece of software that runs with MAME called a GAME ROM and is purely software.

Customers all over the world love to collect and play many of the old-school (and new school) games on DreamAuthentics Arcade cabinets because they are fun, easy to use and bring back the enjoyment of the days of the Classic Video Arcades.
