Funny thing is that they doesn't want to use UME name. Still MAME which doesn't make sense at all. MAME is for arcade and MESS for home gaming, computers or what ever that doesn't have anything to do with arcade. If they read on the their MAME page it pointing out this. lol

"What is MAME

MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. When used in conjunction with images of the original arcade game's ROM and disk data, MAME attempts to reproduce that game as faithfully as possible on a more modern general-purpose computer. MAME can currently emulate several thousand different classic arcade video games from the late 1970s through the modern era."

Which they didn't change. Seem like they broken their own rule. Until then it still Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator with MESS (Multi Emulator Super System) lol
