MAME
,'''MESS''' (Multi Emulator Super System) is an emulator for vintage computers, gaming consoles, chess computers, and calculators. It is a descendant of the MAME arcade emulation project and just like MAME, the most important goal of MESS is highly accurate emulation, not speed. MESS and MAME are mainly preservation projects that aim to reproduce the behaviour of the real hardware perfectly, so performance may be slightly worse than many dedicated CPC emulators.
==Supported Emulated systems and compatibility==
Currently, [http://www.progettoemma.net/mess/sysset.php over a thousand systems are supported] by MESS, including the CPC and CPC Plus ranges and the GX4000. This is probably the main reason for using MESS: A single download is enough to emulate more or less every home computer and gaming console that ever existed in the late 1970s and 1980s—provided one can find a ROM set that works (see below). MESS does not have the depth of other emulators, but it sure has enormous breadth. Its flexible input mapping and MAME-compatible pixel shader effects make MESS particularly suited for gaming.

You can get Windows binaries from [http://mamedev.org/release.html mamedev.org]. If you also use MAME, you may want to get [http://mamedev.emulab.it/haze/latest-ume-mame-mess-binaries UME] instead, which combines MESS and MAME into a single executable with a shared configuration file, <tt>ume.ini</tt>.
On OS X, you can install MESS via [http://brew.sh/ Homebrew]:
brew tap homebrew/games
brew install mess
