MESS (Multi Emulator Super System) is an emulator for vintage computers, consoles, chess computers, and calculators. It is a descendant of the MAME arcade emulation project. Just like MAME, the main goal of MESS is accurate emulation, not speed.

Currently, over 450 systems are supported, including the CPC and CPC Plus range and GX4000.[1]

MESS runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and FreeBSD.

Typical command line arguments

Name Argument Allowed file extensions
Printer -print .prn
Snapshot -dump .sna
Disk drive A -flop1 .dsk
Disk drive B -flop2 .dsk
Tape -cass .wav; .cdt
