After this, the now playable floppy disk is uploaded to the Internet Archive along with extensive documentation about what was done to the original program to make it bootable. To understand this achievement, it’s best to explain what 4am (an anonymous person or persons) has described as their motivations: to track down Apple II programs, especially ones that have never been duplicated or widely distributed, and remove the copy protection that prevents them from being digitized. Is required to use the "MAME" name, logo, or wordmark.Among the tens of thousands of computer programs now emulated in the browser at the Internet Archive, a long-growing special collection has hit a milestone: the 4am Collection is now past 500 available Apple II programs preserved for the first time.

Above all else, be consistent with what you modify, and keep whitespace changes to a minimum when modifying existing source. Some parts of the code follow Allman style some parts of the code follow K&R style - mostly depending on who wrote the original version. Spaces are used for other alignment within a line. Tabs are used for initial indentation of lines, with one tab used per indentation level. MAME source code should be viewed and edited with your editor set to use four spaces per tab.
#ARCHIVE MAME LIBRARY SOFTWARE#
The fact that the software is usable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully?).
The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions. As electronic technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents this important "vintage" software from being lost and forgotten. MAME's purpose is to preserve decades of software history. MAME is a multi-purpose emulation framework. Static analysis status for entire build (except for third-party parts of project):
