+A .app template for MAME on macOS, allowing for easier and more elegant launch of MAME.
+
+**NOTE:** I advise against placing the app in `/Applications` as this may cause permission issues.
+
+## Instructions
+* If you haven't already, download the SDL2 **Runtime Binaries** [here](http://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php) and follow the included readme to install it.
+* Download MAME from [here](https://sdlmame.lngn.net/).
+* Extract the downloaded MAME files into this repository's .app bundle (MAME.app/Contents/Resources/) as shown:
+![preview screenshot](extraction.png).
+* Move the bundle to anywhere you'd like, keeping my note in mind.
