    If you go to the news story and read all the comments it tells you all you need to know. The version of rims, how to copy them to your iPod etc. Tells you everything you need

    If you want to switch characters in Simpsons you must use the 2 player version. I could only get the Japanese version working but it's still in English, so no biggie.

    Also I got TMNT 2 to work but not the first one...

    This was back when a lot of Sega System16 games had trouble in MAME (damn I've been doing this a long time...)

    Look for the bootleg version of Moonwalker; it works fine.

    Not Sega, but Nintendo's Popeye is the same way back then, use the bootleg.

    King of Fighters 97. Just saying' :D

    Should be noted: on my iPhone 4S, everything I've tried runs at 60 FPS and simply looks gorgeous.

    This is probably a dumb question, but iExplorer (& HD) is an iOS app, correct? And it's used to move files where iMAME can find them, right?

    It's a Windows app. PhoneView is the Mac equivalent.

    Cool, own a GP32 and have the romsets for this. Simpsons and TMNT works great!

    Wonder how long this goodness will last for, glad I stumbled on this thread and immediately hit download!!!

    Holy cow that's awesome! Which ROM was it? And how were the controls?

    Do I need a certain app on my iPad to access the files once I move them from my computer or does iMAME know where to go?

    Go to the iMame/documents folder... The rest if for you to figure out.

    So how does one go about installing these roms into the app? I'm totally new to these iOS emulators and stuff.

    This works a treat - especially with my iCade :). Does anybody know how to delete roms from within the app?

    Probably the same way as you added.

    With the iCade, do the on screen controls go away when it's paired?

    Can't wait, getting an iCade for Christmas and mame was the only reason I would have JB. No need now!

    iExplorer is for Windows and Mac, is free, and works flawlessly to drop ROMs into the Documents folder.

    Just to reiterate folks - you must stick to 0.375d for rom compatibility. I'm simply stunned that this is available - glad I was able to get it before it's pulled.

    Good to know. I'll check out iExplorer to see if it's better than PhoneView.

    Great. Thanks! Got Pinball Action (set 1) and Pinbo (set 1) from here and it works just fine. Screenshot of Pinball Action on iPad 2:

    Runs perfect smooth on iPad 2 with very good physics! Recommended.

    How can I change the left/right buttons?
