MAME4droid is an advanced arcade game emulator tailored for Android devices, based on the MAME 0.139u1 version originally developed by Nicola Salmoria and the MAME team. Crafted by David Valdeita (Seleuco), MAME4droid supports over 8000 different ROMs, providing a vast library of classic arcade experiences. Please note, MAME4droid is strictly an emulator and does not include any ROMs or copyrighted materials.
Designed for dual-core Android devices, this emulator brings the power of the PC MAME 0.139 version to your mobile, requiring higher specifications compared to older iterations. While high-end devices can enhance your experience, be aware that "modern" arcade games from the 90s and later may not run at full speed or with complete compatibility. Games such as Outrun and the Mortal Kombat series, known for their challenging optimization, typically need at least a 1.5GHz dual-core device to perform well.
Given the extensive catalog of over 8000 supported games, performance can vary significantly from one title to another. Some games may run flawlessly, while others might not run at all. Due to the sheer volume of supported titles, it's impractical to offer support for every specific game, so please refrain from contacting the developer for individual game support.
To start enjoying your arcade classics, simply place your MAME-compatible zipped ROMs in the /sdcard/MAME4droid/roms folder after installation. Remember, this version of MAME4droid is compatible only with the '0.139' romset.
