MAME4droid Current (0.278) 1.10.3

The current version of MAME4droid, developed by David Valdeita (Seleuco), is a port of the latest MAME emulator maintained by MAMEDev and its contributors. This application provides emulation for a broad range of arcade games and systems, including ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, and MSX. It supports over 40,000 different ROMs, reflecting its extensive compatibility.

It is important to note that MAME4droid functions solely as an emulator and does not include any ROMs or copyrighted material. Users are responsible for sourcing their own ROMs in accordance with applicable laws.

Please be aware that MAME4droid operates independently of the official MAME team; inquiries regarding this application should not be directed to them.

This version is optimized for high-end Android devices, as it is based on the latest PC version of MAME, which has higher system requirements compared to earlier iterations. Even on capable hardware, performance with arcade titles from the 1990s onwards may vary, and some games might not run at full speed or may be incompatible. Given the vast library supported, it is not feasible to guarantee functionality for every game; therefore, support requests for specific titles cannot be accommodated.

Upon installation, users should place their ZIP-ROM files named after MAME in the directory: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.seleuco.mame4d2024/files/roms. Alternative locations and methods for ROM access are detailed in the help resources provided.

It is crucial to emphasize that this release employs only the latest MAME ROM set; it does not support older versions' ROMs.
