MAME4droid (port of MAME 0.37b5 from MAME Team) by D. Valdeita

MAME4droid is an Android adaptation of iMAME4all (for Jailbroken iPhones/iPads), both developed by David Valdeita (Seleuco). This emulator ports Nicola Salmoria and TEAM's MAME 0.37b5, building upon Franxis' GP2X and WIZ MAME4ALL 2.5 framework.

Game Compatibility
The emulator supports arcade games from MAME 0.37b5 plus select titles from newer MAME versions, offering compatibility with over 2,000 ROM sets. Performance varies across titles, with some games running optimally while others may experience issues or fail to launch.
