MESS is an acronym for Multiple Emulator Super System. MESS is an emulator for many game console and computer systems, based on the MAME core.

The primary purpose of MESS is to preserve decades of computer and console history. As technology continues to rush forward, MESS prevents these important vintage systems from being lost and forgotten.

MESS emulates portable and console gaming systems, computer platforms and calculators. The project strives for accuracy and portability and therefore is not always the fastest emulator for any one particular system.

As of version 0.102 released November 15, 2005, MESS supports 153 unique systems with 440 total system variations and is growing all the time. However, not all of the systems in MESS are functional: 111 of them are marked as not working in the current version.
