MAME4droid (0.37b5)

MAME4droid, developed by David Valdeita (Seleuco), is an Android port of iMAME4all, originally designed for jailbroken iPhones and iPads. It's based on the MAME 0.37b5 emulator by Nicola Salmoria and the MAME Team, and draws from GP2X, WIZ MAME4ALL 2.5 by Franxis. MAME4droid supports arcade games from the MAME 0.37b5 version, as well as additional games from newer MAME releases, emulating over 2000 different romsets. Please note that due to the extensive library of games, performance can vary, with some games running more smoothly than others. Users looking for assistance with specific games should understand that not all games are guaranteed to work with MAME4droid.

For optimal performance on older devices, consider using lower quality sound or turning it off entirely, setting the bit depth to 8, underclocking the CPU and Sound CPUs, and disabling animations for sticks and buttons as well as smooth scaling. To use MAME4droid, install your MAME-compatible zipped ROMs in the /sdcard/ROMs/MAME4all/roms folder. MAME4droid and iMAME4all are designed specifically for the '0.37b5' and 'GP2X, WIZ 0.37b11 mame romset'. For converting romsets from other MAME versions, use the "clrmame.dat" file located in /sdcard/ROMs/MAME4all/ with the ClrMAME Pro utility, which you can find at http://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/. Note that MAME4droid does not support save states, as it is built on a MAME version that lacks this feature.
