Arcade Games Emulator APK for Android

Arcade Games Emulator 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/ArcadeEmu/roms folder.

MAME4droid LICENSE

------------------

The MAME4droid project is released under the GPL license. In addition you have some extra rights granted by a special license exception which allow you to link the MAME4droid GPL source with the not GPL MAME source.

The exception also gives you the rights to eliminate it if you don't like it or if you want to include the MAME4droid source in another GPL program. So, MAME4droid is 100% GPL.

You can more easily think at it as a sort of double license. A GPL or a GPL + exception. You have all the rights of the GPL, and, if you want, some others.

The only limitation is for MAME4droid. MAME4droid cannot include external GPL source without the explicit permission of the source copyright holder.
