''[[MESS]]'' (full title ''Multi Emulator Super System'') is a suite of [[Emulation|emulators]] for a variety of computers and games consoles. It isoriginated as a sister project to [[MAME]], which focuses on emulating [[Arcade Game|Arcade Games]]s, and shareshas largesince portionsbecome part of MAME's source code and uses the same distribution licence (you're not allowed to sell it or use the source code in anything which will be sold).
 
The list of emulated systems is too extensive to include here, but it covers 514over a thousand unique systems with the emulation in various stages of development ranging from barely started (more recent or obscure systems) to virtually perfect (older or well-known systems).
 
Like MAME, MESS focuses development of the emulation on accuracy rather than speed with the overall goal of preserving computing history. Where the two projects have emulated hardware in common, it'll be implemented in MAME first, then filter through to MESS the next time the developers synchronise the shared branches of the source tree.
 
The currentmost recent version (v0.155234) was updated onin the 15th ofJuly October 20142021. You can download MESS fromand the project'srest officialof website.MAME from the [http://www.messmamedev.org/release.html MAME release] page.
