    Could someone PM me with help on how to get the SNES/NES roms working? Thanks!

    Having some trouble with missing files as well. Almost every game I have added has this problem so far. Any help would be great!

    Although it gave me the same kind of headache I had 10 years ago, I eventually have fatal fury 2 and samurai showdown working faultlessly.

    Currently now working on snes and megadrive.

    Never thought I'd be playing mame on my iOS device. I'm not a fan of breaking my devices :)

    WOW!!!

    Don't forget your artwork files for anyone who has not noticed this time around...

    ...it also supports alternative backgrounds as well, look at the two Space Invaders screens.

    Accidentally left scan lines on as well as CRT and had to compress files. They look perfect when running, picture quality does not do justice.

    Can you only have 7 games at a time? Can't seem to add more. ROM Title screen doesn't appear to scroll.

    Is there anyone who know how to get "Super Mario Bros. 3" to work? Or where I can download a version that actually works. I know that I need "Playchoice-10" to be able to run NES games, but is it correct that the size is only 37KB?

    If someone know how to make any NES game work, I would be so happy to receive a PM or an answer here. :)

    This is awesome. I found a Mame4ios 1.3 rompack on Google and it had loads of Neo Geo and Capcom games in it. Was about 2tb in 9 parts. Metal Slug 1-5 perfectly emulated on iPad 4 aswell as all the capcom fighters and Mortal Kombat 1-3. Also found things like the original Donkey Kong and Bomb Jack. Every Capcom game upto SF Zero 3 I have tested has worked 100 percent perfectly as has every Neo Geo rom...amazing! :D

    I would like to play Super Mario Bros and Donkey Kong using this app on my iPhone 5. Could somebody PM me with instructions? I'm a noob when it comes to this.

    Hey, what about the speed? Do they work 100%? I'm on an iPhone 4S and Neo Geo games seem to run choppy. Bad Dudes VS Dragon Ninja also runs very choppy. They all ran well in iMAME. Am I the only one experiencing this with old games such as Robocop, Bad Dudes, etc.? The frameskip in 0.139 is around 5 running at 100%, while in 0.37 is in 0 at 100%.

    I've read in the help docs that this is normal because MAME 0.139 is much more power-dependant than MAME 0.37. Seleuco also recommends that if the games run well on both versions, you use iMAME (0.37) because it consumes less battery and works smoother.

    All the Metal Slugs and Capcom fighers are working 100 percent flawlessly but remember I am using a 64gb iPad 4th Gen which has a 1.4ghz dual core A6X and quad core graphics. Can't comment on older iDevices as I don't own any!

    Thanks! I guess that since the 4S was the first A5-device, I'm running MAME on the low end segment of the intended processors for it. I guess the problem is this, no more no less. Therefore, to have the emulator run well Neo Geo games, it's clear that you need an iPhone 5 or an iPad 4th gen.

    Anyway, Capcom brawlers work perfectly and World Rally and Mille Miglia work great too. This, along with the save states, is perfect for me :D

    A BIOS is a ROM. As with any other game, copy the ZIP file to the ROMS folder :)
