'''''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. Just and just like MAME, the main most important goal of MESS is highly accurate emulation, not speed. MESS and MAME are mainly preservation projects that aim to reproduce the behavior of the real hardware perfectly.
Currently, over 450 systems are supported, including the CPC and CPC Plus range ranges and the GX4000.[http://www.mess.org/mess:drivers:amstrad]
MESS runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and FreeBSD.
Just as in MAME, some MESS ROMs have parent ROMs that also need to be installed. E.g., <tt>cpc6128.zip</tt> also requires <tt>cpc464.zip</tt> to run.
