MAME4droid (0.37b5)

I done everything correct. From downloading the right rom to clicking yes when opening the app to storing all zip files in roms folder in mames4droid folder and still can't play. Looking through the comment section on here, a good number of people are asking for help. Still I see no comments from the developers trying to help. The people in the comment section are more help then the developers. DON'T DOWNLOAD the app is TRASH

So I've got this set up on my LG G5, and have a slew of games on my external sd card, but when I go to set the file location, it tells me it can't find/create the location and asks me if the drive is writable. I know it is, as I have other emus also using the card no problem. For the record i have android 7.0 according to my settings. Please help! UPDATE: I solved it myself by manually creating the folders it needed. The writing issue was apparently only for the folders and now it works great!

The default joystick setting makes some games that require precise navigation almost unplayable. But after disabling the animation the performance is almost perfect. Well done. Now back to playing Tetris Atari (Tengen), the best Tetris there is to play even if it's illegal.

Beautiful app and allows u to play the classics, but finding working rom sets sucks so much(if something doesn't play blame your source of download and try another). Not the apps fault if somethings missing files!!!! Wish there were more interface options such as lightgun/screen tapping support and dual analog sticks as well but it's cool. I'm all about Bluetooth controllers, screens can't hang with actual buttons and joysticks. This rocks my stupid smelly socks, thank you!!!!!!!!

Ive got a great phone runs everything no prob... ive spent 2 hours getting this app running at least 50 roms 3/4ths didnt show up in rom folder, and the few that did... not working. What a shame.

to get config menu press start and coin button together. and cheat doesn't find cheat.dat or xml file as I have put them actual folder. is it support cheat.dat or. xml file or anything else. thanks.

If you are having trouble there are a number of things to do. 1) down load the other MAME these guys have made game might work on that. 2) change where you get your roms from. 3) not all roms work. 4) a bios is needed for some games

It's a solid emulator overall, but the lack of Naomi support really killed it for me. I couldn't get CvS2 to work or the MvC series. All in all a decently crafted emulator, update rom support please.

I already put my game to corret files and when i tried to play, it said NO ROM FILES FOUND. Please fix this isssue and i give you 5 stars

Thanks to the developer who made this if people are having trouble getting this to work there novice level of android os. I have had no issues

It seems that some roms won't get detected in game list although they're placed in the same folder where the playable roms are (ex: B-Wings). Some roms even detected but can't be played due to "some files are missing" (ex: Neo Bomberman). I guess some games are not compatible.

Hasta ahora ha reproducido muchos juegos y es muy configurable. Lo malo, que no puedes guardar partidas, y algunos juegos como mortal kombat II no los reproduce y otros emuladores para SNES por ejemplo si

This is a port of one of the earlier versions of the multiple arcade machine emulator commonly known as M.A.ME. main functions better with ROM sets that match the version of Mame being used. In this case since it is based on an earlier version, the best ROM set to use is commonly called "mame4all" "0.37b" and has approximately 2270 ROMs in the set. It is a much earlier version of Mame, but most games work reasonably well. This is an emulator with a graphical user interface placed on top of it. It does not include the ROMs

Nice emulator, but the joystick controls are just awful. Much too easy to slide up and hit the exit button and abruptly pause the game (which happens A LOT).

Hi man, thanks for this great piece of memory you offered us. If you still plan on updating the software, i have one request: Full Screen mode in portrait orientation. I know 0.139 version has this but this version is extremely smooth and amazing.

Fantastic. CPU clock control makes slowdown a thing of the past. Emulator works fine. People are stupid and don't know how to use mame.

It used to work but now when i put the joystick down it loads up a wierd menu. It happens every time i just wanna play centipede

Obviously emulation isn't ever perfect, but I can't not comment that some game sounds are really off.

The rain drop photo you have used on this app. Is my photo taken by me and it was uploaded on my social network instagram. You have no right to use my photo without my permission

Has a great setup just one thing, it can't play games that's more advanced or 3D. (Burning Force and Tekken Tag for example).

People are asking "Where do I get roms?" well, go to your PC and type "Lazarus" into Google. Also, don't forget to donate to the developer. Or find me via Hangouts, get my details, post a USB stick and I'll copy you the lot. Can't say fairer than that.

Be ready to follow a tutorial for fixing your romsets. It's pretty straightforward if you pay attention. Using a moga pro power on a oneplus 3. No problems, but there is an occasional slight lag with the Bluetooth. I think that's more of an Android problem. Thank you to the developers for their excellent work!

Remember pulling a chair up to your favorite machine and getting lost for hours? Prepare to upset your loved ones when you forget about your texts! This emulator brings all of your favorite arcade games to your fingertips. If you have trouble with the ROM compatibility, I suggest searching the application name on YouTube. I can't speak highly enough for this application. I generally don't rate apps, but I felt the need to with this one!

It's a real shame that so many people give this a low rating just because they don't seem to bother reading the help section which clearly tells you what mame rom type to use. It's even mentioned in the description for crying out loud. It's pathetic that we live in an age where we have access to all the information that humankind has accumulated in the palm of our hands and that so many people are just too lazy to take advantage of it. READ THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE APPS YOU DOWNLOAD, PEOPLE! anyways, 5 stars

Kof series and other games except cadillacs and dinosaurs are not supported. Pls give me specific websites to download roms for it.

Impossible, even with moving files around and redownloading and changing destination paths in Mame and restarting dozens of times, for it to recognise the games and allow you to play them. It simply says no ROMs found. Obviously I'm doing something wrong. But moreso the creators of this app need to make it significantly more easy to use. User friendliness is not a scary monster to avoid. Learn it. If it's so hard to make it easy to use, why do emulators for every single other platform and console make this incredibly easy to do, by simply having a normal file system where you choose what to open? Instead of trying to set up a menu system which is appropriate for some situations, but quite obviously not all cases. Yet you're required to use it if you want to use this app. And if it doesn't work, well, tough. Please app creators, learn from the other, higher rated emulator apps. Make a basic file system to use instead of a weird system that requires you to change your phone's entire default download destination. It's not hard.

It's a solid emulator overall, but the lack of Naomi support really killed it for me. I couldn't get CvS2 to work or the MvC series. All in all a decently crafted emulator, update rom support please.

A time killing app ,,,but hard to find roms , i find 10 games then put on emulator. A lot of fun ,thanks devolopers ,sorry for my poor english.need more improvments thanks.....

This is a great emulator but it's not the friendliest. So here's how you address the 2 major problems. 1. Find the the correct set of ROMs isn't that hard. Just Google MAME4droid (0.37b5) roms and download them. 2. In order for the MAME4droid app to see the rom files it must first create a folder called MAME4all. When you run the MAME4droid app for the first time. It will ask if you want to use the default location for the roms files. If you prefer to store the roms on an external SD card or hardrive choose 'No'. If you choose 'No' it will ask you for a location where it will put the MAME4all folder. This is confusing but that's what it wants you to do. Simply navigate to root of the SD/External drive and choose 'Done'. Close the app. Using your file explorer navigate to the location you choose. There will be a folder called MAME4all there. Inside there will be a folder called 'roms'. Copy your downloaded rom files into this location. Restart the app. You can change the location of the roms using the change roms path in settings and repeating the process above. Bottom line. You MUST create a MAME4all folder first and then copy in your rom files there.

I already put my game to corret files and when i tried to play, it said NO ROM FILES FOUND. Please fix this isssue and i give you 5 stars

Love playing Star War an Empire Strikes Back arcade games like i did as a kid back in the early 80s. Thanks for the great app. 1 suggestion...the controller always leans to the left bottom corner...but still great app.

This is a great app but two problems Mortal kombat 3 does not run and a i read the text and how do u turn on cheats or try to enter them

Rombuddy has all the roms you need you need to download the upgraded version of mame 4 Droid to play the games that won't run on this app and vise versa!!! ROM BUDDY! Makes your life easier

Stupid my favorite game Metal slug won't run even any version of it fix this and don't ignore this message

Games from Love roms website online. Make sure there 037b11 roms. Then put them in your rom folder, then play. This emulator plays all 80s Arcade & some early 90s. If you want all the 90s Arcade games then download Mame4droid.

Need a joypad. Cant do all the dodging without one. Xbox 1 and 360 work fine, with usb mini adapter. I have over 200 roms/games working fine. If you require a list or the roms I can provide.

Why can't you guys create it with games (roms) so we don't need to waste our time downloading it and then figuring out later on that it doesn't support roms.
