Any decent mame emulators for android other than jarcade and android arcade?

[vex321]

Is there an alternative to these two emulators?
They are both pretty much garbage, I was wondering if there is anything mame emulator upto the quality level of snesoid and such..

What is wrong with Jarcade? It works great on my DROID (though it is a large program).

Any update on this? I have a ton of roms that I'd love to play.. Tried TigerMame but had to pull the battery..

I have Jarcade, Cps2hd, Android Arcade and TigerArcade on my Droid.

Android Arcade = completely worthless, don't bother.

Cps2hd = only support cps2 games but play them perfectly.

Jarcade = great for cps1 games and neogeo, support most of them from the 90s era...... main problem is you need mame 0.34 set wich is very hard to find, support also more oldschool games like Pacman, Dig Dug, etc.

TigerArcade = it sucked at first but with the new version 1.2, wow! this is the best arcade emulator so far.... it runs all cps2 games perfectly... all cps1 games (with sound problem), all neogeo games perfectly, all Cave games from the 90s but with sound problems, and most Toaplan games also work. Plus its FREE unlike all the 3 other arcade emu.

Kevenz, thank you for the information, I greatly appreciate it. How do you seperate what roms are what? I've accumulated a bunch over the years, have 3300 zip files in my rom folder for MAME32, but couldn't tell you what was what..

I've heard you have to have a spare sd card full of roms and nothing else to run one of the emulators...

I loaded tigerarcade, some roms run but others don't. Have a huge variety of street fighter games to play...

in tigerarcade, press help...... theres a list of compatibles games, not all mame games works.

only Capcom Play System 1, Capcom Play System 2, Neo Geo, Cave, Toaplan.....

I don't think that tigerarcade is a mame port. It's closer to Finalburn. It's using the mameroms from systems mentioned in the above post. I use this along with Jarcade and CPS2HD. I use Jarcade for the old games other than NeoGeo. And Tigerarcade for NeoGeo and Cadilacs and Dinosaurs. The rest of the Cps 1 games i use Jarcade. The emulators runs great on Cortex a8 phones, when you have them setup proberly. Especially on Milestone/Droid with hardware keyboard

Jarcade: there is a link on his website, directing to GP2x roms (MAME 0.34). Most of them should work

Tigerarcade: Just go for the lates mame versions of the supported roms

CPS2HD: Can't see it in the market anymore. But it's great for CPS2 game. But you could check if Tigerarcade is ok first.

If you have problems with Tigerarcade shutting down when scanning for roms. You could move all other things on your sd to a pc. And then move it back, when you have Tigerarcade running. That worked for me

[kevenz]

you can download & buy CPS2HD from Android CPS2 Emulator

but to be honest it's quite useless now....... since all cps2 games work pretty much perfectly with TigerArcade.

I just noticed it was back. Since i was prompted with an update.
I also wrote in the earlier post, that it's worth testing CPS2 with Tiger arcade first.
