Default [Q] MAME for Android? - 2 questions

Ok 2 questions.

1) Is there any way to save and load state of game on Tiger Mame?

It's a dam awesome emulator, but quite useless as a mobile game emulator without save states !


2) Are there any decent Android MAME emulators that enable to play arcade games other than cps1/2/neo geo?


I want to play arcade versions of outrun/double dragon/golden axe. Stuff like that.

Thank in advance for replies.

Honestly, I think it's really funny that he's calling his app "Tiger MAME" because I don't think his app is actually MAME whatsoever. Judging from the specific games that are supported and those which are not, it matches up almost perfectly with the Final Burn series of emulators.

1) Nope.
2) Nope, not until we get an actual REAL port of MAME.

Agreed about the name, but I think he renamed to TigerArcade (MAME), so people would relate more to what it plays. It really should have been called TigerRaine or TigerFinalBurn, since those are the rom sets it works best with.

MAME rom sets are moving targets to work, due to platform updates of the MAME app.

This app is better for just emulating what it does, since that is why it plays EVERY rom full speed with sound, even on the Incredible. Far less overhead than MAME, since only supporting a few platforms.

There are/were a few that played some, but not all of MAME4All rom sets (played about half). Jironi Arcade is the name and is still in market, but has issues with Gingerbread (the dev knows and is working on it).

It doesn't matter how many ROMs a build of MAME supports, it doesn't speed things up any by removing them.

If TigerArcade had save states it would be a great emu.

Surely not too hard to do from the Dev considering he has done it in all his other emus?

I agree about the save states thing...the only other problems I've noticed is that some Capcom games have sound issues (Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Strider). The music is total static with those.

We really need a proper port of MAME to Android.
