Ok, so it's not exactly MAME, but there are quite a few arcade collections / compilations released for the PS1, and if you can collect all of them, you will have yourself a good chunk of original arcade wonderfulness!
As an added bonus, many of them contain FMV video interviews with people who made the games possible, copies of original press releases, copies of original flyers and other noteworthy memorabilia from the games offered, game screen surrounds, access to debug options and even enhanced graphic modes.
Covered in this line up are both official releases and homebrew options.
So jam your pockets full of 10p coins, jump on your Raleigh Chopper / Grifter and lets bike it down to the PS1 classic arcade.

Anthony Ball of Double Dutch Designs / Sinistersoft / Deluxe Pixel limited created an excellent set of arcade emulators for the PS1.

There is also a menu driven collection of these roms on a CD image called "The Retrocoder Collection". Download it HERE .
