AdvanceMESS (ver 1.4) Freeware This is a version of AdvanceMESS for DOS, taylored for Pentiums. The DOS binaries are compiled with the gcc-3.2.3 compiler using the djdev 2.03 environment under GNU/Linux. AdvanceMESS is a port of MESS, written mainly by Andrea Mazzoleni, with contributions from various other people. The video support in AdvanceMESS is made especially to be able to program the video hardware (graphics adapter) to achieve a more faithful video emulation, also allowing the use with arcade monitors and TVs. It also contains software filters to improve the image when used on monitors with a higher resolution, such as PC monitors and LCD screens. MESS is an acronym that stands for "Multi Emulator Super System". MESS will more or less faithfully reproduce computer and console systems on a PC. MESS can currently emulate over 250 systems from the last 5 decades. MESS emulates the hardware of the systems and sometimes utilizes ROM images to load programs and games. Therefore, these systems are NOT simulations, but the actual emulations of the hardware. The MAME homepage is at http://www.mess.org/.
