It is in maintenance only (no active development of new features).

What's in it?

NO mechanical games (pinball, crane games, etc)
NO computers, consoles, terminals, appliances, etc
Only playable games are included

These downloads include all needed official support files.

The license requires that the source be available, together with sample compile scripts, but after that you're on your own. The source is in two parts - first part is the standard source available at mamedev.org, and the second part is supplied with the ARCADE64 binary. Extract the first part to a new folder, then copy these parts from the binary distribution over the top:

docs/release/src over src
docs/release/scripts over scripts
docs/release/makefile over makefile
docs/release/build would normally go into the root, but since they suit my setup you'll need to modify them appropriately
docs/release/compiling contains more hints for compiling

Very quick guide to installing it:

Download ARCADE from here, and extract the contents into a new folder.
Double-click arcade64.exe, it will prepare itself, then start up
Adjust the directory and default game settings as appropriate
Select a game and double-click it
