Application Description

MAME4droid: Your Android Arcade Emulator

MAME4droid, a port of MAME 0.37b5 by David Valdeita (Seleuco), brings classic arcade gaming to your Android device. Building upon previous work for jailbroken iPhones and GP2X/WIZ systems, this emulator boasts compatibility with over 2000 ROM sets from MAME 0.37b5 and beyond.

Performance Considerations:

Given the vast game library, performance will vary. Older devices may experience limitations. To optimize performance, consider:

  • Reducing sound quality or disabling audio entirely.
  • Using 8-bit depth graphics.
  • Underclocking the CPU and sound processors.
  • Disabling stick and button animations, and smooth scaling.

ROM Placement:

After installation, place your MAME-compatible zipped ROMs in the /sdcard/ROMs/MAME4all/roms directory. Note that MAME4droid uses only MAME4droid & iMAME4all ROM sets ('0.37b5', 'GP2X, WIZ 0.37b11'). Use the included clrmame.dat file (located in /sdcard/ROMs/MAME4all/) and ClrMAME Pro (http://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/) to convert ROMs from other MAME versions.

Key Features:

  • Compatibility with Android 2.1 and later.
  • Native support for Android Honeycomb tablets.
  • Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) 2D hardware acceleration.
  • Auto-rotate functionality.
  • Customizable hardware key remapping.
  • Toggleable touch controller.
  • Smooth image scaling.
  • Overlay filters, scaling options, and CRT effects.
  • Selectable digital or analog touch controls.
  • Animated touch stick or D-pad.
  • iON's iCade and iCP controller support (iCade mode).
  • Wiimote support via the WiiCrotroller Market app.
  • Customizable button display (1-6 buttons).
  • Adjustable CPU and audio clock speeds.
  • Video aspect ratio and scaling options.

Important Note: MAME4droid does not support save states due to limitations of the underlying MAME version.
