For C-64 there are definitely better options than MAME. MAME does a good job of emulating lots of obscure peripheral cards for the C-64, technical things that are curiosities to the developers, but it's very bad for gaming in terms of both performance and compatibility.
Not sure what your options are on a Mac (somebody else might be able to fill you in) but MAME is likely to disappoint you if you're expecting to play games on the C-64 driver.
*edit* I've been informed that MAME is actually pretty good if you disable the emulated disk drive and use tape based software, but I'll let some others fill you in with the details of that.
