I'm your MAME fan, and I love retro games, so I play Street Fighter, Terra Cresta, Contra, and even other games, but I love using MAME emulator, and I'll give you for a 5 star. Love it mans.

This is a great app for running MAME content on Android. My reason for giving it four stars is that no matter what settings I change, I can't stop the MAME menu from opening whenever I touch the screen in a game, which makes it impossible to play light-gun games with touch control (I've enabled this option in settings, but it doesn't stop the MAME menu from opening whenever I touch the screen). I have this problem across five different devices, so I think it's an issue with the app.

I have a few Emulators (3 consoles) on my phone, no problem creating a folder for my roms and telling the Emulator app where to look. This app asks me for some wild path I can't create. I think I gotta connect my phone to a pc. ended up deleting it and sticking to my consoles

Does not work. I have 2 Game&Watch games (e.g. gnw_octopus) with roms and artwork .zip files that work on MAME desktop (0.264). I put the .zip files in a mame folder on external storage and configure the app to use that folder but no game was listed. The app thinks that Octopus is unavailable.

Description by Seleuco Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
MAME4droid (Current) is a powerful Android port of the latest MAME emulator (by MAMEDev and contributors), developed by David Valdeita (Seleuco). It supports over 40,000 different ROMs and emulates classic arcade systems along with home computers like ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, and MSX.
⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
NO ROMS INCLUDED: MAME4droid is strictly an EMULATOR and DOES NOT INCLUDE ROMS or copyrighted material.
Not Affiliated with MAMEDev: This project is independent of the official MAME team.
Support: Due to the massive library of titles, support for specific individual games cannot be provided.
✨ NEW & NOTABLE FEATURES
Native NetPlay (Rollback & Lockstep): Play together over Wi-Fi or mobile data. Built-in Rollback sync provides near-zero input lag for fast action games, while Lockstep covers everything else.
Direct IPv6 Connections: Bypass CGNAT on mobile networks (4G/5G) for seamless peer-to-peer multiplayer without complex router configuration. Just tap 'Share' to send a connection invite via any messenger app.
ADPF & Frame Pacing: Integrates the Android Dynamic Performance Framework to manage device thermals dynamically, paired with accurate frame pacing for a smooth experience.
SAF Persistent Cache: A new concurrent cache drastically improves boot times when reading large ROM sets via Android's Scoped Storage.
🚀 PERFORMANCE & HARDWARE
While MAME is known for being demanding, this version includes modern optimizations:
arm64 DRC (Dynamic Recompiler): Features a dedicated 64-bit ARMv8 recompiler, providing a massive performance boost for complex 90s systems (like CPS-3).
Requirements: A high-end Android device is still recommended for the most demanding 3D arcade games to achieve full speed.
🎨 VISUALS & GRAPHICS
GLES 3.2 Overhaul & Vector Simulation: Complete rewrite of the vector engine leveraging modern GLES 3.2 paths. It physically simulates electron beams, optical bloom, and phosphor persistence for an incredibly authentic arcade neon glow.
True HDR Display Support: Unlocks peak panel brightness on compatible devices. Includes a dedicated FP16 HDR rendering path for vectors and SDR-to-HDR highlight expansion for classic raster games.
Shaders & Filters: Advanced shader support (enable via Options > Settings > Shaders) and overlay filters like scanlines and CRT effects.
🎮 INPUT & CONTROLS
Completely rebuilt input system for ultra-low latency and higher reliability.
Plug-and-play support for Bluetooth/USB gamepads (with true right analog joystick support and UI mapping), touch lightgun, and mouse.
Customizable on-screen button layouts (1-6 buttons), autorotation, and tilt sensor support.
🛠️ RECOMMENDED SETUP (EXTERNAL STORAGE)
For the best experience, store your ROMs on external storage using Android's Scoped Storage.
First-Time Installation Guide:
Prepare storage: Create a folder named MAME4droid on your SD card or internal memory.
Launch: Open the app for the first time.
Path Selection: When asked "Where do you have stored or want to store your roms files?", select EXTERNAL STORAGE.
Grant Permission: The Android file picker will open. Navigate to your folder, tap "Use this folder", and tap Allow.
Romset: Ensure you are using the 0.288 romset for compatibility.
(Note: Change the path later in Options > Settings > General > Change ROMs path)
