Here are downloads for MAME/MESS on non-Windows platforms including Mac OS X, Linux, and BSD family operating systems.

Technical support for MAME on non-Windows platforms and for MESS on all platforms is available on the bannister.org forums.

Source code download

The following links are for source code, either pre-packaged by MAMEDev or you can simply clone/fork us on Github to follow the team's progress in real-time. Download these if you'd like to learn to develop for MAME/MESS, or if you know how to build the emulator and just want to follow along quickly.

MAME/MESS releases	http://mamedev.org/release.html
Live MAME/MESS WIP on Github	https://github.com/mamedev/mame

A guide to building MAME/MESS on Mac OS X is available here. An equivalent guide for Linux is available here.

Regularly Updated binaries and packages (usually within 1-3 versions of baseline)

These links are for binaries and/or distribution packages for Mac OS X, the BSD family, and a variety of popular Linux distributions. Download these if you can't or don't wish to build MAME and don't mind waiting for the next release date to see progress.
