Our MAME ROMs section was at 0.164 for a while so it was definitely time for an update. MAME 0.184 just came out a few days ago. The biggest change however is that we've now moved from split MAME sets to non-merged MAME sets. What does that mean?

Well, to put it simply, you no longer need to get a parent ROM for any MAME title that you download. All you need to do is get the rom and everything (parent roms, bios files, etc.) will be included in the file! The only exception to this of course are CHDs. If you need a CHD for a particular game then you'll need to get that separately since those can run to several gigabytes in size.

However, most of our MAME ROMs will now be directly playable with a single download. So go right ahead, fire up the new MAME and enjoy some arcade classics without any additional complications!

EmuParadise turns 17 years old tomorrow, March 27th 2017! HAPPY BIRTHDAY EP! We've had a great time sharing your favourite retrogames with you through the years and bringing back joy and nostalgia from times gone by.

To celebrate the occasion we just launched a brand new feature and a competition to go with it. Make a games list and win a Nintendo Switch.

1. Sign in to EmuParadise with your EPForums account (free)
2. Create a game list on a theme of your choice. You can do this by clicking on the + Add to List button on any game page
3. Share your list on either twitter or facebook and make sure you tag us (twitter: @emuparadise Facebook: @EmuParadise) so that we can see your share. (remember to set privacy to public on your Facebook share)

1. We will select the best list as the winner based on a combination of creativity, popularity, and usefulness to the EP community.
2. Each user may enter up to FIVE lists into the competition. This means that you must share each list on five different posts on social media.
3. The competition is open to users WORLDWIDE. We will cover purchase and shipping costs of the console but we cannot cover customs duty and any other taxes that might arise.
4. There is no region lock on the Nintendo Switch so we may send you a console from a different region, however we will do our best to send you one that corresponds to your region.
5. You can create more than 5 lists but please note that only the five that you share with us on social media will be eligible for the competition.
6. Tip: When you create lists, some of the games on your list may not have screenshots or descriptions. We prefer lists where games DO have screenshots and descriptions so if your game choices are missing those details, please add screenshots and descriptions and once they are approved (this normally takes 24-48 hours) they will show up on your list page.
7. Competition closes at 12AM GMT on 3rd April 2017, winners will be announced by 5th April 2017.
