MAME4droid (a port of MAME 0.37b5 by the MAME Team) is developed by D. Valdeita.
MAME4droid is the Android version of iMAME4all (for jailbroken iPhone and iPad), with all versions created by David Valdeita (Seleuco). It is based on the MAME 0.37b5 emulator by Nicola Salmoria and the TEAM, as well as Franxis' GP2X and WIZ MAME4ALL 2.5.
MAME4droid emulates arcade games supported by the original MAME 0.37b5, along with additional titles from later MAME releases.
This version supports over 2,000 different romsets.
Please be aware that with such a large library, some games perform better than others, and some may not run at all.
Please avoid emailing requests for support on specific games.
Users with older devices should not expect high performance. To boost performance, try lowering sound quality or disabling it, using 8-bit depth, underclocking the CPU and sound CPUs, and turning off stick and button animations and smooth scaling.
After installation, place your MAME-compatible zipped ROMs in the /sdcard/ROMs/MAME4all/roms folder.
MAME4droid only recognizes ROMs from the MAME4droid & iMAME4all '0.37b5' or 'GP2X, WIZ 0.37b11' romsets. Use the included "clrmame.dat" file located in /sdcard/ROMs/MAME4all/ along with the ClrMAME Pro tool to convert ROMs from other MAME versions. The utility is available here:

MAME4droid does not support "save states" due to being based on an earlier MAME version that lacks this feature.
