About this game

Arcade Games Emulator supported by original MAME 0.139.

Copy or move your 0.139 MAME zipped ROMs under '/ROMs/ArcadeEmu/roms' directory! And play games.

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 (0.139u1).
Please, don't email me asking for a specific game to run.

Tips to help performance: Activate GL mode, use lower quality sound or switch it off. Disable stick and buttons animations and disable smooth scaling also.

After installing, place your MAME-titled zipped roms in /sdcard/ROMs/MAME4droid/roms folder.

MAME4droid (0.139u1) uses only '0.139' romset.

Ratings and reviews

I do like this app. I will rate it 5 starts BUT whenever I try to exit an game to the main menu a Ad plays. After the ad, I'm back in the old rom. Quiting just continues the loop to watch ads over and over. Also, please improve custom Rom destination. I can't find roms once I move it

Pretty good. Decent controls, ok framerate (i understand it could just be my phone but i dont think it should be really constantly), more support than other emulators ive found. Overall i think it is great but still has some kinks.

makes no sense to me and to people that are not good with computers to damn complicated i just can't get it to work i wish it did instead of giving me the run-around 😡
