MAME4droid is a version of iMAME4all (iPhone, iPad) for Android, all of them developed by David Valdeita (Seleuco), port of MAME 0.37b5 emulator by Nicola Salmoria and TEAM, and it is based on GP2X, WIZ MAME4ALL 2.5 by Franxis.

MAME4droid emulates arcade games supported by original MAME 0.37b5 plus some additional games from newer MAME versions.

This version emulates over 2000 different romsets. (see at the end of document for a list of games that could work).

Please, try to understand that that with that amount of games, some will run better than others and some might not even run with MAME4droid.
Please, don't email me asking for a specific game to run.

Owners of older devices should not expect good performance. Tips to help performance: use lower quality sound or switch it off, use 8 bit depth, underclock the CPU and Sound CPUs. Disable stick and buttons animations and disable smooth scaling also.

After installing, place your MAME-titled zipped roms in /sdcard/ROMs/MAME4all/roms folder.

MAME4droid uses only '0.37b5 - 0.37b11 mame romset'. Use "clrmame.dat". Use "clrmame.dat" file included in /sdcard/ROMs/MAME4all/ to convert romsets from other MAME versions to the ones used by this version, using ClrMAME Pro utility, available in this URL:

http://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/

MAME4droid will never have "save states" since it is based on a MAME version that does not support it.

showed up in some games. It also contains many other fixes and

items from my previous announcements:

* Now automatically saving state on exit, letting you continue where you left.
* MIDI recordings are now named after original program files.
* Fixed flickering garbage lines.
* Fixed audio latency controls. Try setting your latency to 100ms.
* Fixed MIDI soundtrack logging.
* Fixed accelerometer to work on both phones and tablets.

* Reduced minimal audio latency.
* Made virtual fire buttons more comfortable.
* Attempted fixing Galaxy S2 crashes (please test)."
