The emulator controls are very precise for being on a mobile phone. That being said, you will need a relatively modern device, as it is more than likely that it will get a bogged down on older devices.
The application no longer works, a few days ago it stopped working on my android tabled. I have reinstalled it several times and deleted cache and everything, but when it starts it closes automaticall...
So I added some cores to RetroArch including MAME 2015 and Arcade (FinalBurn Neo). Then went to + and found my mame folder and scanned the directory. It scanned for hours and when it was done there was no additional menu items on the top for MAME.
hi i have a gpd xd with retroarch version 1.7.9 i have noticed an annoying audio crackle in some arcade games like gaiapolis, spiderman, battlecircuit, using mame 2003 plus.Also in games like elevator action it gives me lag in the audio.I deactivate the option of (threated video) since screen taering appears with this option and it is worse. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? Thank you
Most modern Chromebooks support Google Play, so you can install Android-based emulators as you would on any other Android device. The downside is that you might not have a touchscreen, and emulators may not have the necessary tools to convert mouse and keyboard input. You will likely need a wired controller like the PS3 DualShock 3, Xbox 360, or Nintendo Switch Pro. The upside is that, in most cases, you can play in fullscreen mode.
If you want to run your Sony PSP games on your Android device, then PPSSPP is the emulator for you. You can use it to play free homebrew games, or dump your own PSP games in .iso or .cso format. You can even transfer saved games from your PSP. Not everything runs perfectly, and slowdown is pretty common, depending on the Android device you use. That said, you will need a decent set of specs to run games. It now supports Android 12.
If you have fond memories of the Commodore 64, you can relive those early 1980s games with this emulator for $4. It supports a wide variety of file formats, and you should be able to get a Bluetooth keyboard or gamepad working with it alongside configurable on-screen controls.
I must be doing something wrong. I installed Retroarch Plus, copied some roms over,etc. I loaded the mame core with no year (mamearcade_libreto_android.so) and selected the current core for mame in retroarch.
Which is a little awkward, its not a mame 2003 romset, but its also not a current romset (its over a year old, i would guess that "most" games would work, but you may have issues with some if using the wrong version of the emulator, which you will be if using retroarch.
Then your roms are the wrong version for the emulator. MAME is very easy to use, but you have to match your romset version to the same emulator version you can not pick random roms from around the internet from all different romset versions and expect them to work, thats just not the way MAME works i'm afraid. If you want to make sure that they work, get the latest MAME romset (currently 0.235) and use the core in Retroarch simply called MAME (this is always current, but may still be 0.234 as 0.235 is very new still). Or you can get the specific MAME 2003 romset and use the MAME 2003 core in Retroarch.
That would likely mean that no Capcom or NeoGeo games would work im afraid, all those roms have changed since 2012, this is why versions matter. Capcom roms had the qsound file changed at around version 0.184 if i recall correctly, so if your romset is from after 0.184 then you will HAVE to use a emulator version that was released after that change (early 2017 if i recall) so those roms will no longer work with any version of the emulator prior to that as the files in the zip are now different, and the emulator itself knows EXACTLY what files should be in the zip, if those differ it will not load the rom. Essentially if using a romset from 0.184 or after, then you cannot use any version of MAME from before that version, and 2012 is obviously much before early 2017.
If you do not have a pleasuredome account in order to get the latest set then i suggest getting the MAME 2003 reference set and use the mame 2003 plus core, it's easy to find that on the internet archive. Although it sounds like a old set its actually relatively new, its using the roms that were around in 2003, but updated so they are modern.
I've downloaded MAME by using apt-get install mame command on my Debian Linux. The installation process went smoothly and I did the right setup afterwards. I've acquired several ROM files including 'Street Fighter III 3rd Strike', 'Street Fighter II': Champion Edition', 'The King of Fighters '97', etc and put them in the rom folder which was specified correctly in the mame.ini file.
Note that MAME is very picky about ROM file names - they must match exactly what MAME expects them to be. If you've renamed the files, or they downloaded with the wrong names, you'll need to fix them. mame -listfull can tell you the game name and the expected ROM name that matches, although you'll probably want to pipe this to grep or similar due to the large number of supported ROMs.
All of my zips with chd file games load but pick back out. Pcmame they play so it must be broken. Thanks for reply. Can you tell me which reicast nightly guilty build to get I replied on dreamcast post. Good news and bad news
Ok I loaded area51 in retroarch mame git and opened the area51zip and I got the screen and trigger gun it moves around. Then I tried to load the chd the next time and it loaded but had a test screen. I have several area51 roms I have a mx,t and an a. As well as other chd games have many names of same game. Not sure how to load them both at once
I don't think android can load the laser disc games ( :Laserdisc_video_games), but if you do get any of these to load, let me know (mame) is (mame2014) as far as I know, I think they dropped the (2014) off the core because its evolved further.
today, by pure chance, looking at an unrelated topic, I found out that 2013, MAME not only made dump of the Original Roland MPU-401 ROM (i.e. firmware), but also wrote emulator of the Real Device using the Real firmware, my initial realization about it is here:
So, I don't know if their emulator is fully functional, but if yes (presumable if not, it can be fixed, because the hardest part is done, i.e. dumping the ROM), what about like we have MUNT-box, we have dedicated MAME-MPU401-box in front of it, i.e. do not rely anymore on expensive, speculatively priced MPU401 interfaces - I mean do diagram like this would be possible:
In order to be able to experiment and add some debug messages to Roland MPU-401 emulator you need to be able to build MAME from its source code - that turned out to be extremely easy in my 'Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS' installation, only 3 simple steps:
So, currently, my conclusion is that MAME did all the hard work - dumped the latest version of Roland MPU-401 ROM (v1.5A) and wrote 6801-emulator that is working. The communication between the 6801-Emulator and the upper layers (where DOS is running) has some issues, but they seem that should be easily fixable as I illustrated above.
