MAME and MESS are now combined as one distribution as of the 0.162 release and offered as a MAME binary (MESS is included in the build).
Follow me on twitter for release updates: @sdlmame_osx
Please make sure you have installed the SDL runtime library first!
Please also note MAME is a console application, use Terminal.app or a frontend!
ARM64 builds will not work on Intel Macs, but Intel builds will work on ARM Macs.
