> Are there any mobile phones that might be targets for MAME?
the vast majority of them.
problem is most get trashed / recycled, and most are based on tech that can't easily be dumped, so at best we might have a handful of encrypted firmware updates but no proper internal roms, no dsp roms etc.
also much of the unique software on them depended on services that are no longer around, where maybe (if you're lucky) an old downloaded copy on an old phone is your only hope (if they didn't require active servers to use in the first place)
also people kept personal information on phones / sim cards etc. so often want them securely destroyed.
also a lot of phones, even old ones, are more powerful than you'd imagine compared to the computers / arcade games MAME emulates. most of the software on the seems slow and crappy because it was Java based with software renderers etc.
