MAME Emulator For iPhone Released

Edward Kirk · September 29th, 2008, 01:42 PM

ZodTTD has just released mame4iphone v0.5.0, a MAME arcade emulator for the iPhone available to jailbroken iPhones through Cydia. The emulator is a port of the mame4all emulator from ZodTTD user Franxis. The emulator allows users to play ROMs of some of the most popular classic arcade games from the early days.

Details:

Based on MAME v0.37 Beta 5

Although MAME v0.37 Beta 5 is quite old, and I'm not quite sure why it was chosen as the basis for many ports to ARM handhelds yet, it still supports over 2000 ROMs!

These arcade game's date range from the 1970's all the way to 2000!

Sound is supported but disabled by default. To enable it,goto Now Playing and slide the slider for volume up from the off position then start a game.

Once a game is started it will ask you to press OK. Use RIGHT then LEFT then RIGHT then LEFT to press OK.

Save states are only just being introduced in MAME v0.37, so mame4iphone does not currently support save states.

Upon installing a folder /var/mobile/Media/ROMs/MAME/ is already made for you. Place your MAME-titled zipped ROMs in the /var/mobile/Media/ROMs/MAME/roms/ folder.

Screenshots:

Mame4iphone v0.5.0 can be found on Cydia in my built-in public ZodTTD.com repo/source. He's accepting donations.

now all we need are for people to port the Naomi and Konami boards that ran the CVS2, MVC2, and Street Fighter 3 series and we're set.

If someone ported the Naomi board that ran sf3, i'd jailbreak my phone immediately.
