    Default MAME & consoles...

    Hello,
    does MAME emulates old consoles AMIGA 500 and ATARI ST ?
    Because i can NOT find any trace of them in hash MAME folder.....

    MAME = Multi Arcade Machine Emulation so older versions do not no, newer versions include MESS though MESS = Multi Emulator Super System and covers tons of Console and Computer systems

    MESS as much as MAME has a lot of experimental drivers so not everything is going to work http://www.progettoemma.net/mess/ has a bit more info

    Amiga is in there but it's not fully working anyway

    Most consoles and computers that MESS support work better in other emulators

    If you want an all round system emulator something like Retroarch is a better option though you are till going to be using external emulators for ST and Amiga systems

    No point in looking for it, it's not fully made to start with

    http://www.progettoemma.net/mess/sysset.php those in red just have very basic emulation done, yellow almost there green are working

    Windows UAE is your best bet, though you may need to go for a dated I ran it in Windows 2000 back in the day just fine

    EDIT Looks like MAME has those grouped by graphics chip Amiga OCS will be the main one A500+ uses ECS

    1985 OCS A1000, A2000, A500
    1990 ECS A3000, A500+, A600, A2000
    1992 AGA A1200, A4000, CD32

    So it is there, can't say I have tested those though and I would guess the MESS link has out of date info, I can't be sure anyway so give those a try

    FS-UAE Still currently developed and works on W10.
    You can use various dumps with it including IPF (you probably still need the plugin for that), which you will find in no-intro sets.
