MAME4ALL and MAME4DROID are two different android versions of MAME.

MAME4ALL is designed to run on older less beefier devices.
It uses the 0.37b version which is extremely old, not to be confused with version 0.139u1 which is more recent.

Be sure to use the newer MAME4droid as theres a **** load more compatible roms for it.

Thanks, hope Tokyo is treating you well

Thanks lads I'm using the one that's in the ouya store it's mame4droid(I think missus has the telly now). I'll try search out that rom set and see if it has my game on it.

I'm starting to think buying a cabinet would be a great idea, where to put it is anyone's guess:-)

That's the problem with them alright.
One cabinet looks out of place, a wall of them doesnt....:eek:

Are you going to use the Rpi as your main MAME machine? It'll do the job, but it's a pity to use that permanently instead of something a bit more beefy and able to run more games, and run them better.

It'll suffice until later this year when I replace my current PC, then that'll become the new Mame machine.
Plus, I'm not really playing more heavy stuff anyhow, Cave games run like sh1te regardless!
Hopefully I can get Raiden DX running like a charm though!

Happy birthday CiDeRmAn!

I'm sure at least two of those are you projecting on Zan!

CiDeRmAn

I'm pretty sure two of those are actually you..
Plus, you have some awesome cosplay options there!

Happy birthday Cidey, many more arcade and retro years ahead !

MrVestek

Sorry just catching up here.

The Mame4all romset works fine with RetroPie.

Not sure where to put this.

I was just playing 1000 miles rally, which has some nostalgia for me, took about 10 credits to clear but i enjoy it.

So i was searching for youtube videos of it and came acroos these wacky arcade machines.

The narrator is very annoying but number 1 will suit BrownFinger

What's the deal with folks putting up retro collections on adverts for like €3,000? Not willing to split.
What are they playing at, I think they have no intention of selling and are only showcasing there awesome collections.
Seriously though who's gona drop 3k at once on this stuff?

You only like this Mr. X, don't you?

Mr.Saturn

So, judging by their recent Facebook posts, it seems the parent company behind RAGE are opening up an arcade bar/barcade thingy in Dublin. Any thoughts on the prospect?

the groutch

will they be charging a tenner a pint?

smurf492

Sounds uber hipster...

Not a bad idea but it's going to be filled with Mame cabinets more than likely. One problem there is that if they don't have original boards they are going to be running the risk of copyright claims.

Its not just going to be mame cabs, the dude bought my Tetris cab before xmas and said he had a container of cabs on the way from the US.

So, time to get the lads together and pull off the great cab heist of 2016!

Mr.Saturn

Encouraging to read we're getting original cabinets. It seems just about every second porter shop has a MAME cab these days (in fairness, Blackbird have/had a Point Blank cabinet too), so it's good they're doing something to set themselves apart.

Well that is very encouraging, could be something like barcade then and definitely somewhere I'd visit. I just hope they keep them well maintained and realise the cost involved in maintaining these machines with quality parts!

I just hope they don't bar me for recommending Seimetsu parts over Sanwa.

Dr Bob

It'll be all wooden cabs running blue elf boards and no candy's so you Arcade Purists will avoid it like the plague.:)
