For
Arcade preservation and browser-game builders
Worth noticing
Each conversion is meant to be checked with a rerunnable harness and, eventually, pixel-level MAME frame comparison.

Field notes

The exhibit separates play from proof: visitors can enter a 3D arcade while the technical pages describe source materials, measured build clocks, and per-game harness output. The project says it avoids original ROMs, code, art, and sound, using documented machine behavior instead. A Space Invaders cabinet is visible now, while the broader set of machines and the MAME frame-comparison process remain part of an evolving, explicitly licensed-in-progress presentation.
