Description by Seleuco (from Google Play)

MAME4droid is a version of iMAME4all (Jailbroken 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.

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 MAME4droid & iMAME4all uses only '0.37b5', 'GP2X, WIZ 0.37b11 mame romset'. 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.

Comments on MAME4droid (0.37b5) for Android

★★★★☆ arixx black · Apr 24, 2021

Please update, it's been 5 years since it's dead, because the small size arcade game works well with this. I can't manually set the ROM path on my device, the folder doesn't appear, it can only auto,

★★★★★ ivorytower faster · Jun 12, 2021

With the correct romset (MAME 2003) this is the absolute best you'll get for the lower end devices (single or dual-core). A full 2003 romset is just over 1 GB, whereas a full 2010 set is almost 20gb. If you've got a more modern device with a quad or octa than go for 2010 (Red MAME)

★★★★★ Rezwan Khan · Jun 15, 2024

Best arcade emulator.... Anyone who understands the workings of this emulator will appreciate it.

★★★★★ ERIC MOREMAN · Oct 9, 2023

GREAT FUN PLAYING OLD ARCADE GAMES I USE STEEL SERIES XL CONTROLLER WORKS GREAT I LIKE IT.

★★★★★ Todd Chrisler · Nov 9, 2021

Awesome. Works with my old mame roms. Just great!!!

★★☆☆☆ Giordano Lewis · Jul 1, 2022

This game is weird so when I was trying to download Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection rom it's not working the other Tekken games were working!

★☆☆☆☆ Col Hinton · Apr 15, 2023

10 years later, still don't work. Directory structure is all over the place. And it doesn't matter where you put ROMs they never show up. What a shame

★☆☆☆☆ Michael Wilson · Jul 16, 2022

Fake mame emulator every time I put my game directory with my arcade games it wouldn't show the games

★☆☆☆☆ Dan · May 22, 2023

Cannot change the rom path on android 13. It just restarts.

★☆☆☆☆ Baalf Games · Jul 15, 2022

Fling useless! It does NOT read roms at all. I keep trying to set a folder, and even if I put my roms in the right folder, it REFUSES to acknowledge them.
