MAME? In my browser? It's more likely than you think.

MAME is now available as an official Chrome app. Open Chrome 14 and search for "Robbie Roto" in the Web Store. Download it and you can play Robbie Roto in the browser, with an option to use your own ROMs and play other games. And it works on any OS Chrome 14 is available for: Windows, Mac, or Linux.
This link should work to go right there if you're reading MW in Chrome.

Here's the developer's notes that were made during creation of the port.

This is really slick and a great way to get non-hardcore innocent bystanders interested.

It's MAME, in a Chrome tab, any place Chrome runs (including potentially Chromebooks and Android devices in the future), and you don't even need to download a rom to try it out. If you don't intuitively get why that's cool, I can't help you.
Why Chrome? Because the technology necessary to do this only exists in Chrome. Adobe showed something similar a few years ago that would've worked in any browser with a Flash plugin but abandoned it before release.
Regarding the sign-up: it'll accept any Gmail or YouTube or other Google-affiliated account. I don't know many people who have Internet access and not at least 3 of those.

Very awesome. Very awesome, indeed.
I noticed that they encountered some porting issues, mainly symbol conflicts with newlib.
Are any of those changes getting ported back to baseline MAME? It seems like it would be a good idea.
Quote:
The Native Client toolchain currently ships with newlib, which is a lightweight libc implementation that differs slightly from the more commonly used glibc. The newlib-related problems we encountered during the port were all minor and could be fixed in a few minutes. We list them here for completeness:
- One of the MAME classes had a member named getc, which clashed with the newlib macro for getc. It is not clear why this did not cause problems with glibc. We fixed this problem by simply inserting "#undef getc" just before the field.
- The sound emulation defined a static variable named infinity, which clashed with a symbol defined by the math library. We fixed this problem by simply renaming infinity to spu_infinity.
- Another part of sound emulation #defined its own version of log2(), which was already defined in the math library. Guarding it with #if !defined(log2) solved the problem.
- In the CPU emulation, an enum contained the symbol _ADD, which clashed with some unknown header file #define. Adding #undef _ADD before the enum fixed the problem.
However, rather than #undef conflicts, I'd rename the member/variable in question.

it's cool, and it shows what portability efforts in the past few years can accomplish

Check the specific things cited against the u6 source
And yes, we did go with #undef - we felt that the inherent documentation value of having the class members named getc()/putc() overrode the fact that newlib and some *BSDs do non-standard things with the libc functions.

Yeah. I tried it again and it froze up at (C) MCMLXXXI BA and that's all it had.
Oh well. Probably not worth the trouble.

That's not MAME, that's a bunch of small Java emulators that Digg incorrectly claimed to be MAME. This is real current MAME built from official mamedev.org source running thousands of games.

Not to mention, the Java emulators tend to host ROMs, which is (depending on copyright in your area) a copyright violation.
This thing allows you to use the ROMs you have properly dumped from your arcade PCBs and/or downloaded legally from mamedev.org

I'm pretty impressed. It's clearly still fairly awkward, but the results are definitely better than I'd anticipated. I look forward to seeing future revisions.
That said, couldn't get sound working in base set 'nemesis'.

There is no such thing as assembly language in PNaCl, so no.
