-<big>MAME</big> stands for '''Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator'''. It is probably the easiest emulator to get up and running with 2 players and has a VAST amount of games you can play.
-It covers nearly every arcade game from yesteryear that you can imagine (literally thousands!) but not all work 100%.

-==Downloads==
-===MAME===
-You can download MAME from the [https://www.mamedev.org/release.html official MAME website]
-===Crosshair Pack===
-You can disable the default MAME crosshair by downloading the crosshair pack and extracting it to MAME's root path. The crosshair pack can be downloaded from [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VoBsrIioAIOs76IwkYmPaTHwJq2CRxcu/view?usp=sharing Google Drive]
-If you want to enable the crosshair, just access the crosshair submenu in-game and change the crosshair from default to a different one, cross1 and cross2 are invisible.
-===INI Files===
-Download ini files from [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yc1hwzqSs29AQqpzWTorxgZtSDmxWNCB/view?usp=sharing Google Drive]
-===Bezel Packs===
-MAME can use Bezel files from the '''MAME\Artwork''' folder, specific for each game:
-* If your version of MAME is '''0.225 or newer''': Download the Sinden Bezel pack (v2.6) from [https://www.mediafire.com/file/vaozgpatv0ajise/Sinden_MAME_bezel_pack_V2.6_%2528MAME_225_and_above%2529.rar/file Mediafire]
-* If your version of MAME is '''0.224 or older:''' Download the Sinden Bezel (v2.6) from [https://www.mediafire.com/file/2n5g7dsxr5j47as/Sinden+MAME+bezel+pack+v2.6.rar/file Mediafire]
-Unzip the file for your MAME version in the '''Artwork Folder.'''
-===Category Filter File===
-Download '''MAME Light gun category file''' here from [http://www.mediafire.com/file/wpmx65me0cvzjcl/Lightgun.ini/file Mediafire]
-To use a category file to filter the game list, make a folder (if one does not exist) called "folders" in the root of your MAME directory and copy the lightgun.ini file into it. Then when in MAME click categories on the left and select the file.
-==ROMSet Basics==
-You can download individual roms or entire rom packs. Whichever you choose make sure you download the correct roms for your version of MAME (It is updated monthly).
-Every MAME release has a number for instance 0.226, so you require 0.226 roms, this is VERY important!
-Trying to run a different version of romset will cause issues!
-== Standard settings ==
-Quick Settings Guide:
-# Launch a game in MAME
-# Press the TAB key
-# Enter the "Input (general)" option
-# Scroll to and assign   Lightgun analogue X (Left to right) & Y (Up down)   Buttons 1 (Trigger)  Button 2 (Reload)
-# Also map start and coin buttons to save getting up
-# In Sinden App - Enable Off screen reload under configuration tab
-# Under button assignment Trigger onscreen set to Mouse left, Trigger offscreen set to Mouse Right & Gun correctly calibrated via the alignment tab
-# In MAME.ini (in the root of your MAME directory) - Check the following are set correctly....
-# Optional:- move the gunmouse.cfg from the Sinden Software MAME/ctrlr folder to your MAME/ctrlr folder to fix the Gun ID's in MAME
-<pre>
-# CORE INPUT AUTOMATIC ENABLE OPTIONS
-#
-lightgun_device           mouse
-positional_device         mouse
-mouse_device              mouse
-# CORE INPUT OPTIONS
-#
-ctrlr                     gunmouse (THIS IS OBTAINED FROM THE SINDEN SOFTWARE ARCHIVE AND NEEDS TO BE PUT IN THE CTRLR FOLDER IN MAME DIR)
-mouse                     1
-lightgun                  1
-multimouse                1
-offscreen_reload          0 (I found this interferes with the Sinden off screen reload option more on this later....)
-</pre>
-===Important Notes===
-* Versions previous to 0.178 could not fix the controller IDs
-* Version 0.194 cause lightgun improper working...
-* Time Crisis is broken in 0.202 and prior. Use a newer version
-* Some games have glitched crosshairs in MAME several of the hunting games and some others have this issue.
-Turn them off for best results as they will show your aim several inches off center!!
-* To prevent your gun registering as a different Guncode after a reboot take the "'''gunmouse.cfg'''" file from the ''SindenLightgunSoftwareReleaseV1.--\SindenLightgunWindowsSoftwareV1.--\MAMEConfig\ctrlr''  and move to your MAME emulator directory ''MAME/ctrlr'' folder
-== MAME control settings ==
-===Device IDs and the ctrlr file===
-It is best practice to assign your Sinden guns in a ctrlr file so that player 1 and player 2 don't get reassigned when you reboot your computer. The Sinden Lightgun installer comes with a gunmouse.cfg file already that can be used for reference. To get your personal gun IDs you can do the following:
-* Open a command prompt and run a game w/ MAME using verbose mode only to quit the game, and read the output to get your personal IDs, ex: "MAME.exe -v term2" runs MAME in verbose mode with Terminator 2, but any game would work as we just need the device IDs.
-* The IDs will look something similar what's shown below. You may have to unplug your guns (take a screenshot) and plug them in again to make sure you see what ID is which Lightgun.
-<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
-Input: Adding mouse #0: HID-compliant mouse (device id: \?\HID#VID_16C0&PID_0F39&MI_02&Col02#a&1e8491ce&0&0001#{378de44c-56ef-11d1-bc8c-00a0c91405dd})
-Input: Adding mouse #1: HID-compliant mouse (device id: \?\HID#VID_16C0&PID_0F01&MI_02&Col02#9&c31b5c8&0&0001#{378de44c-56ef-11d1-bc8c-00a0c91405dd})
-</syntaxhighlight>
-* You can convert this long string into a shortened version In my example my guns personal ID can be shortened to <code>"VID_16C0&amp;amp;PID_0F39".</code> Notice the "amp;" this is required to escape the "&" in the ID.
-* You can then then edit the gunmouse.cfg file to look something like this (with your own IDs of course)
-<syntaxhighlight lang="XML">
-<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<mameconfig version="10">
-    <system name="default">
-        <input>
-			<mapdevice device="VID_16C0&amp;PID_0F39" controller="GUNCODE_1" />
-			<mapdevice device="VID_16C0&amp;PID_0F01" controller="GUNCODE_2" />
-        </input>
-    </system>
-</mameconfig>
-</syntaxhighlight>
-* Don't forgot to put the gunmouse.cfg file in your MAME's ctrlr directory and point your MAME.ini file to the gunmouse file in the "CORE INPUT OPTIONS" section.
-* If you're MAME.ini is already using a custom ctrlr file, you can add still add your Sinden device ID's to your custom ctrlr file, below is just an example for reference (ignore the IPAC Utlimate IDs, those are my joystick controls for players 1-4). My 2 Sinden Lightguns are assigned below. This way I can continue to use my existing ctrlr file.

-In MAME, load a game, press TAB to open the settings and go to the '''Input (general)''' section.
-Configure the input for P1 Button 1, P1 Button 2,  Lightgun X Analog, Lightgun Y Analog for Player 1
-Configure the input for P2 Button 1, P2 Button 2,  Lightgun X 2 Analog, Lightgun Y 2 Analog for Player 2
-The setting for the Sinden Guns will say something like "Gun 6 B0", "Gun 6 X"  with a different number depending on the GUN ID.
-== Standard Games ==
-* Area 51, Area 51 & Maximum Force, Maximum Force (area51, area51mx, maxforce):
-** CHDs required in roms folder. I have lumped all these together as they are basically the same game but require a special ini file to play due to the off-screen reload.
-** Make a copy of the MAME.ini file and rename it to the rom name you wish to play e.g. area51mx then change offscreen_reload from 0 to 1. Save and exit leaving the file in the main MAME directory.
-* Bang (bang): OK
-* Beast Busters (bbusters): OK
-* Big Buck Hunter Games: All of the following are working OK but require CHDs and Calibration.
-** Big Buck Hunter (BBH)
