MAME4droid 2024, developed by David Valdeita (Seleuco), is a robust port of the MAME 0.270 emulator created by MAMEDev and its contributors. This powerful tool allows you to emulate a wide array of arcade games and systems, including favorites like the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, and MSX, among others. With support for over 40,000 different ROMs, MAME4droid 2024 offers a vast library of retro gaming experiences right at your fingertips.
*Please note that MAME4droid is strictly an EMULATOR and does not include ROMs or any copyrighted material. It's important to understand that MAME4droid is not supported by, nor affiliated with, the Mame team. Any inquiries about MAME4droid should not be directed to them.*
Designed with high-end Android devices in mind, this version leverages the latest PC MAME technology, which means it requires more robust specifications compared to its predecessors. However, even with top-tier hardware, users should temper their expectations—games from the 90s and later may not always run at full speed or with complete compatibility.
Given the extensive catalog of over 40,000 supported games and systems, performance can vary significantly. While some games will run smoothly, others may not work at all. Due to the sheer volume of titles, it's impractical to offer individual game support, so please refrain from sending specific game support requests.
After installation, you can place your MAME-compatible zipped ROMs in the /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.seleuco.mame4d2024/files/roms folder. Be sure to check the help section for other options on how to access your ROMs. **Important:** This version of MAME4droid is compatible only with the '0.269' romset, and not with romsets from older versions.
