    Same here. The constant updating of rom sets is what drove me away from mame long ago (circa 1998). I jumped back in one time in 2009, got the most current emulator and romset, and jumped back out again because every old school game I cared to archive was functioning perfectly. Fast-forward to here and now, and I desperately want to toy with this on my iOS devices - and show my 4 year old son what life was like for us 30-somethings back in the day... My set is too old, which is why none of them are working on this build for me. Updating them is a brain-melter. I'd LOVE a pm from a kind soul who knows a safe place to find a 0.139u1 set and spare me the sleepless nights!!

    Well I've downloaded 8 versions of Shinobi, the only one that isn't greyed out is (set 6) but that gets the missing CDH message. Anyone get Shinobi working on this? Is so how?

    The 6-player rom version assumes that there is 6 players/joysticks. Imagine if you were to see the 6 player arcade irl each joystick/player # would be assigned and visible near the stick. You would choose the player by which joystick you chose. Most of the time when you do a rom there is 2-player or 4-player. 4 assumes each people chooses their player based on joystick. 2-player lets you choose.

    Tl;dr download the 2-player version instead. You can choose the char that way.

    Is it possible to play Mario in landscape mode? When I turn it the buttons fade and go inoperative.

    Any PM with assistance would be greatly appreciated. I might have it figured out by the time you PM me, but there's a good chance I don't :p

    Honestly, even after going through countless tutorials, checking sources, datfiles, rebuilding, re-checking datfiles, more rebuilding, 6 hours later the vast majority of compatible titles still give the 'missing' error.

    Cool idea though. The things that do work, work well!

    Just testing out some games, working well so far. Anyone figured out how to connect the icontrolpad yet? Can see it in the settings but not sure how to connect.

    Also im trying to remember the name of a game, it was a side scrolling shooter where you start in a prison cell. the guy you play as is a rambo type character. Vietnam feel to it. 2 players as well

    I know thats not a lot to go on but its been 20 years since i played it lol

    Hopefully someone remembers it.

    Yeah, I guess that does make sense. :) I'll see if I can find a 2 player ROM.

    OMG I got playchoice to work by experimenting. :)

    (edit, before more ppl PM me, no, I can't get past the start button, if you've figured out how to get that far).
