MAME4droid based on MAME 0.261
#397544 - 12/18/23 06:32 PM


This is a christmas gift for Dullaron who was able to compile latest MAME for Android which is not an easy task. You don't need to do it again mate

No hacks at all. Free. Not ads. Not permissions. Pure MAME. Artworks, cheats, icons, plug-ins, all working…

Full android scoped storage support …

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seleuco.mame4d2024

It has been a pain in the ass to get more than 40000 systems into a mobile phone but by pressing it has been achieved…

Try the touch mouse for Arkanoid or Star Wars, it's worth it.

ops

MAME4droid is not supported, nor does it have anything to do with MAME’s team. Don't bother them with questions about MAME4droid.

It's been a long time since an android build was made & would be nice if it could be updated every month but I know it's a task in itself so I really appreciate what has been done. THANKS

So the link is to like an official store or something. Like... I could only set it to install to my Android phone (which I almost never use... just when I'm in a foreign port where it's hard to find/get a local SIM card, because this particular phone uses GoogleFi), and my Switch. How can I simply download the .apk, so that I can sideload it to my Quest 3?

Edit: Nevermind, I got it. I guess. I just left all of the options on default on apkcombo...

This is so awesome! Until now, I think the only versions around used 0.73 and 0.78 romsets. Maybe there was a 0.139 in there somewhere... can't wait to give this a spin (but it's too late for me to jump down that rabbit hole tonight)



Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!

Thanks for the update! Your work is GREATLY appreciated!

A possible bug: I put some rom files in the roms directory, and when I start the app up, they appear. After I exit the app and return, I only see a small subset of the roms in the roms directory, and they are displayed in a random order. Each time I restart the app, the list of roms is different (and randomized)... any suggestions?

Also, a few roms quickly pop up a red dialog box that disappears (so I can't see what the error displayed is)... hopefully these help with your future debugging/development efforts.

Again, thank you so much for this release!

Is this stripped down, or does it bring a way for people wanting to run the various Plug and Play systems (JAKKS etc.) to Android without having to rely on shit like RetroArch? (I get asked about those a lot)

Likewise, does it allow you to run some of the obscure home systems like the PV1000 where MAME is still best in class?

Unuseable on Switch (Lineage OS, Android 11) new [Re: ahh]
#397550 - 12/20/23 12:27 PM


Simply trying to open input devices, crashes back to the home screen.

EDIT: Ok, so I'm just having a hard time figuring out the usage. The crashes I get are trying to use the "normal" MAME settings and such. Just realized it works much better through the options button that's on the screen. I just can't get to it with a mouse while the Switch is docked. I finally got in-game on MK1, which runs perfectly fine, and Killer Instinct, which the Switch can't handle at all.

Sorry, input device options / video options are currently crashing. Should be disabled anyway as everybody is crashing there

This is not SDl. Input providers are handled in the java side.

Maybe you are enabled "Use simple UI" option. If you enable it then it will be used the old MAME UI instead the cabinet one.

I think you missed my edit. Crashes were happening through the regular menus, but I was able to get things running using the options button on the touch screen. Just had to undock by Switch first because I can't reach it with a mouse...

Works amazing on my Anbernic RG405V

Slight Issues:
For CPS3, Dev mentioned you have to Adjust the Slider Options Less. Found 20%-25% for the Overclocked CPUs work best, and will then Function. Dev is not able to make it to Save that Setting without rewriting it like .139, so will have to be Adjusted every time. Same should go for the others that have same Issue.

Cheat File - Some reason, not sure how I did it, but my PC MAME Cheat File has some extras. So if your Cheat.7z works with Additional items, it should work for this, hopefully. Will test later.

Version 1.6 out new [Re: ahh]
#397669 - 01/07/24 05:47 AM


https://github.com/seleuco/MAME4droid-2024/releases

The page isn't good with listing whatsnew or whatever, so if you're interested, you have to look at the commits. At any rate, this version fixes some of the input complaints I had.

Buttons E and F (5 and 6, I guess) weren't being assigned, which is why I couldn't figure out how to assign LK in MKII. Problem solved!
