Full summary	MAME4droid is an Android port of the classic MAME 0.37b5 arcade emulator developed by David Valdeita. It supports over 2000 arcade ROM sets and offers native compatibility with Android devices version 2.1 and up, including Honeycomb tablets. The emulator features hardware-accelerated 2D graphics, touch controllers with customizable buttons and analog or digital modes, and supports external controllers like iCade and Wiimote. Users can adjust CPU and audio clocks for performance optimization and apply video filters such as CRT and overlays for an authentic arcade experience. While MAME4droid does not support save states due to its basis on the older MAME version, it provides flexible control mapping and smooth scaling options to enhance gameplay. ROMs must be placed in the designated folder and managed using ClrMAME Pro for compatibility. This open-source project preserves the classic arcade experience on modern Android devices with efficient emulation and multiple customization options.	MAME4droid Current (0.286) is an Android port of the MAME 0.286 emulator developed by David Valdeita (Seleuco) and contributors. It supports over 40,000 ROMs and emulates arcade systems as well as home computers such as ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, and MSX. Note: No ROMs are included, and the project is not affiliated with MAMEDev. Its modern mobile optimizations include arm64 DRC for faster emulation on newer devices, support for external storage, and a range of input options (Bluetooth/USB gamepads, touch controls, mouse, tilt). It also offers shader effects, scanline/CRT overlays, and a GPL license. For best results, store ROMs on external storage and follow the one-time setup steps.
