MAME4droid 2024, developed by David Valdeita (Seleuco), is a port of the renowned MAME 0.270 emulator, crafted by MAMEDev and its contributors. This powerful emulator brings the magic of arcade gaming and classic systems such as ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, and MSX to your high-end Android devices. With support for over 40,000 different ROMs, MAME4droid 2024 opens up a vast world of retro gaming at your fingertips.

It's important to note that MAME4droid is strictly an emulator and does not include any ROMs or copyrighted material. Also, remember that MAME4droid is not affiliated with or supported by the MAME team, so direct your inquiries accordingly.

Designed for high-end Android devices, MAME4droid 2024 leverages the latest PC MAME version, requiring higher specifications than its predecessors. While it boasts compatibility with a broad range of games, don't expect all "modern" arcade titles from the 90s and beyond to run at full speed or with complete compatibility. With such an extensive library, performance can vary; some games will run smoothly, while others may not run at all. Please refrain from reaching out for support on specific games, as it's challenging to cater to every title's needs.

To start playing, after installation, simply place your MAME-compatible zipped ROMs in the /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.seleuco.mame4d2024/files/roms folder. Be sure to check the in-app help for alternative ways to load your ROMs. Note that this version of MAME4droid is compatible only with the '0.269' romset, so older romsets won't work.
