    I have a Mac running OS X and want to download and run MAME for classic arcade ROM emulators.

    Course I dont have a clue how to do this... I downloaded the software from Mamedev.org but cant figure out how to run it or install it...Im a computer idiot and need very simple step by step instructions.

    Anyone good with this kind of thing and can give me those ?

    Thanks in advance

    If you went to MAMEdev chances are you have the Windows version or the source code files.
    What you need is
    macmame.org

    Never ran it on the Mac, so I don't know what to expect, all MAME'ing(sounds odd) I've ever done was with the Win side of things.

    Surprised how little I hear the term MAME bandied about - I love taking in a game or 2 of Battlezone during lunch.
