Product Description:

MacMAME is a port of the PC multi-emulator MAME. It allows you to play many of the classic arcade games from the early eighties on your Macintosh. It accomplishes this through emulation of the original hardware and the use of the original ROM code from those games.

What's new in this version:

Fixed problem with MacMAME not finding some support folders, notably those used by the front-end.
Fixed issue with slow startup times when playing each game. In some situations, it would look like MacMAME had locked up at a black screen, but it was really just taking a long time parsing some text files.
Fixed crash when using certain games that had analog controls.
Implemented reset instruction callback for supervisor mode in the 68k PPC emulator. Outrun should once again be playable.
Worked around issues with Salamander 2, Bubble Bobble 2 and many other games that use the 68ec020 CPU.
Worked around crash when pressing F4.
Fixed psx renderer so that it draws correctly now.
Certain games that used protection (e.g. Gauntlet 2, Monster Bash) are working again.
MacMAME now reacts to external quit events properly when the front-end dialog window is active.
The aspect ratio should now be correct when using the OpenGL blitter. [Alex Eddy]
Fixed phosphor persistence in the OpenGL plugin. It looks best when combined with vector games. [Alex Eddy]
Games that dynamically change their screen resolution now draw properly with the OpenGL plugin. [Alex Eddy]

MacMAME is now MAME OS X - Version: 0.103u2, 11/13/2007 12:28AM PST

The MacMAME project is no longer active because of Brad Oliver's work obligations as a program writer for a respectable software company and he has also cited Apple's deprecation of Carbon. (...and it came out a diamond!)

MAME is still under development and on the Mac there are a few projects.

First is MAME OS X - a special Mac version that takes advantage of all Mac OS X's core technologies.

Second is SDLMAME which it looks like you have to compile yourself (lots of information at rbelmont.mameworld.info).

Third is Advance MAME and Advance MENU which runs in X-Windows and can be installed through FINK.

If you like MAME don't install the new iLife package - Version: 0.103u2, 9/10/2007 11:02AM PST
