MAME4droid 2024, developed by David Valdeita (Seleuco), is a robust port of the MAME 0.270 emulator, crafted by MAMEDev and its contributors. This advanced emulator brings the thrill of arcade gaming and various systems like ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, and MSX right to your fingertips. Boasting support for over 40,000 different ROMs, MAME4droid 2024 offers an extensive library of classic games and systems for enthusiasts to explore.
*It's important to note that MAME4droid is strictly an emulator and does not include any ROMs or copyrighted material. Additionally, MAME4droid is not affiliated with or supported by the MAME team, so please direct any inquiries about MAME4droid to the appropriate channels.
Designed specifically for high-end Android devices, this version of MAME4droid leverages the capabilities of the latest PC MAME version, which demands higher specifications than its predecessors. While it aims to deliver a top-notch gaming experience, users should be aware that "modern" arcade games from the 90s and beyond may not run at full speed or with complete compatibility on all devices.
Given the vast array of over 40,000 supported games and systems, performance can vary. Some titles may run smoothly, while others might not work at all. Due to the extensive range of emulated content, it's impractical to guarantee universal support for every game, so please refrain from requesting assistance for specific titles.
To enjoy the games, after installation, users should place their MAME-compatible zipped ROMs in the /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.seleuco.mame4d2024/files/roms folder. Be sure to consult the in-app help for alternative methods of accessing your ROMs. Importantly, this version of MAME4droid is compatible only with the '0.269' romset, not with romsets from older versions.
