Raine is an emulator for arcade games, similar to MAME. In its current version, 0.50.5, Raine can emulate over 300 arcade games.

[edit] History

The emulator began life when a programmer named Antiriad started an emulator for a single arcade game, Rainbow Islands by Taito. The emulator, originally named Rainbow Islands Emulator, received a new contracted form of its name (Rainbow Islands Emulator) when the emulator began supporting other arcade games, mostly from arcade manufacturers Taito Corporation and Jaleco.

On September 5, 2004, the Raine team added in support for the EmuDX enhanced content packs thanks to support from the author of EmuDX, Mike Green, and more recently they have added support for the CAVE, CPS-1 and CPS-2 games, which greatly increases the library of games supported by this emulator.
