MAME - The official Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator site: "On December 24th, 1996, Nicola Salmoria began working on his single
hardware emulators (for example Multi-Pac), which he merged into one program during
January 1997. He named the accomplishment by the name of Multiple Arcade
Machine Emulator, or MAME for short (pronounced as the word 'maim' in English,
other languages may differ)."
