It is intended to be a source of information about the MAME project and about arcade games in general. Currently, the wiki is broken into several major sections:

			* [[System-Specific Setup and Information]]. This section is full of specific information you'll need to know to use many of the MAME drivers, including how to install various operating systems on the PCs that are supported in MAME.

	* [[Non-Working Drivers]]. This section has been set up to provide some gory details about why so many of the games in MAME don't actually work. If you're curious what is preventing emulation of your favorite game, have a look to see what the latest status is.		* [[Non-Working Drivers]].
