MAME Emulator

OK, I have MAME, I downloaded Space Harrier from
http://www.classicgaming.com/rotw/spaceharrier/
The Zip file contains lots of files that I put into the Mame Roms directory. I know that MAME is a command line program, but I don't know what to type after MAME to start the game.

Ignore this, I figured it out. You place the zip file in the directory, then MAME the zip file name. Guess it helps to read the FAQ

If you don't like the command line, there are several different programs that provide a GUI for MAME. Just do a Google search for "MAME frontend."

Um... since MAME is an emulator to play games that are copywritten and in some cases still owned by their respective companies, I question the longevity of this thread.
