 '''MAME''' (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) is a multi-platform emulator for arcade games, home computers, gaming consoles, chess computers, calculators, etc. MAME 0.162 (released on May 27, 2015) merged the previously separate MAME and MESS (Multi Emulator Super System) projects into one, so that a single executable now combines the emulation capabilities of pre-0.162 MAME/MESS.

 To use a German keyboard in emulated keyboard mode, start MAME e.g. with (key map path on Linux):
-  mame cpc6128 -keymap -keymap_file /usr/share/sdlmame/keymaps/km-de.txt
+  mame cpc6128 -keymap -keymap_file /usr/share/sdlmame/keymaps/km_de_LINUX.map
 You can also put these settings in your mame.ini like this:
   keymap                    1
-  keymap_file               /usr/share/sdlmame/keymaps/km-de.txt
+  keymap_file               /usr/share/sdlmame/keymaps/km_de_LINUX.map
 In emulated mode, keys can also be remapped in the emulator menu. First press ''Scroll Lock'' to enable the MAME control keys, then ''Tab'' to open the menu, and finally select ''Input (this system)''. ''Return, Esc'' clears an assigned key.
