So far an all in one mame supporting all the different consoles is not available. But you can find information on all the Console emulators, tested games and controllers for the TF on my thread here.

The games you have go with a version of the console they were made for. Do you have a list?

I've seen some reports on the TigerArcade about problems with scaling but the games are playable. I've not gotten to TA for testing yet but did notice another CPS2 emulator called CPS2HD, nothing in the ratings about Honeycomb but HD in the title usually means support for higher resoltuion devices and scalable.
I would keep looking for other EMU's for the games you have rather than a mame all in one app. When the devs focus on one game type they produce better apps.

i'm trying to find some cool (and preferably free) games for my phone. does anyone know of a site or some hacks or something for me? i'd also love to have an emulator for my phone too. i downloaded one but i'm not sure where to get games from or even how to actually work it lol ANY HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED!!! thanks in advance...
Same here.....
pocketnester works great on the phone. I doubt you are going to get anyone to post about ROMs as thats considered warez. try google or web sites that normally have that stuff.
I don't know if Nintendo will get angry if you download their 15 years old nes games, but you can get them at every torrent site there is... But officialy they're illegal, so i don't give you the url's to websites where you can find them.
If you need more info, PM me.
Which keys do you guys use for your nintendo emulator? I've found it difficult to decide which keys to use for the up/down/left/right control...
did u try google-ing pocketsnes, that what i did, idont know how to add files so that i can put it on here do you have an email i can just send u mine or i can put it on here, how though?
fpsece
has anyone else played with fpsece? the playstation emulator. I've got some games playing flawlessly no frame skip others with a frame skip rate of 2 WITH SOUND and obviously missing video drivers and no overclocker. some games I haven't got to work (i own the games). a list would be cool. also if a programer wanted to step in and put their name in the limelight I know where someone could find a almost completed N64 ppc emulator made by the same maker of the pocketsnes. ----- ps also the mods should move this from the upgrading section as the discussion is on software----

Probably better posted in the general Kaiser forum...vs the Upgrading forum; however....
I believe that Morphgear works....I have only tried Gameboy (regular) and NES games, but they both work. It does have support for both SNES and GBA.
But as you mentioned, it was created quite some time ago and thus is not optimal for the Kaiser. As I recall, SNES should be "ok" in terms of speed. GBA will be slow.
Using the HTC Performance plugin, the gba emulation is a little bit better. But I still wouldn't play any platform or fast paced games on it. I stick to games like advance wars, or fire emblem, where you can use frameskip without too much consequence. Still better than any ppc games out, IMO.
there are a couple of emu's for snes ive used one called zsnes that seemed to work ok the only problem is the hardware keys being to close.
There was a thread in the general Kaiser forums about NES emulators. Your best bet would to be to ask there, as it already contains some information pertainent to this subject.

Morphgear is the best EMU ever
It got all the platforms
NES , GBColor , works great 100%
SNES, SEGA GENESIS works nice without sound, some bugs with soud
GBA is a little slow

it says : "morphgear is not a valid Pocket PC application

yea, cause you need to launch the exe with your computer and have your phone connected to activesync or mobile device center... its not a cab installer
Morphgear works
pocket gba works faster than morph gear at least it feels faster

I could see where you trying to go with this...nice try but they didn't get the hint.
I was thinking about checking this emulator out to finally (maybe) play FF7. However, when I looked at it in the market, there were a lot of complaints about it not being updated anymore, and some performance/playability issues? Has anyone recently tried it on recently released phones (I have a stock DroidX)?
plays great on my incredible
There are many problems with the emulator. It will only run SOME games okay. The games it runs just seem to be random.
FF7 will work just fine... seems to be an easy game to emulator. However, another simple game like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is unplayable.
Most games are probably unplayable if you like sound. The sound is so bad on most games that you have to mute it.
The list of games that work perfectly is probably under 20... and most of those are games you don't care about
The emulator is no longer supported by the developer. He even made a comment on twitter saying "what needs to be updated?"
The emulator ignores the phones GPU and only runs off of the CPU... so faster phones don't get any performance gain. It also needs a ton of compatibility fixes, as there are so many games that just do not work.
With that being said, if the only game you want to play is FF7, you're in luck! Is it worth the money? Not if you ask me.....
Is there another PS emulator that is better supported, and works with more games?

There is no other PSX emulator
These game´s has released on iphone and PSP and is a port/remake of the old Amiga versions.
So i´m wondering if more people is interested in getting this game to android, if so we could all send an email to the developer showing our interest and hope for the best.
You can find gameplay videos from iphone on youtube (i am not allowed to post links as im a new member)
Developers mail is: juuso(at)cowboyrodeo(dot)net (seems i can´t write emails either)
Only alternative i found to play this on my phone is the gba remake on gba emulators. But it´s not as good as the iphone/psp versions.
Have you tried playing the Amiga version of these games on an emulator on your Android?
No i havent played it on Amiga Emulator on my phone, cause when u use the keyboard layout on the screen it covers the whole screen. So it would be unplayable
But seems like this is a dead end anyway. Developer is not replying and i doubt they will ever bother
There was only one pinball of all times. Slamtilt. Unfortunately only on AGA chipsets.
Haven't tried it yet, but grab it quick... emulates 0.37b5 ROM list. Yes, it supports Xperia Play buttons.

Nice find. Testing romset now
I prefer this to jrioni, it has a better user interface.
Games run at good speed, just as good as jrioni, and I find the sound better in this.
Still no save states that I can see though.
Posting for tiger kings emulator to own them all. Mame needs save states to be functional imho. I play for 5 minutes at a time at work and can't progress in games without save states.
The good thing about this emulator is that it saves all your high scores. with Jromi you have to manually save and load your high scores.
My Metal Slugs and CPS2 games dont seem to work though.

They are *arcade* games. They're only meant to be played for 5 minutes at a time. Only purpose for savestates is if you are cheating your way through a game with infinite quarters.

Totally disagree with this.
Some games take 30+ minutes to beat and complete. Some are even longer taking 1 hour+ to beat.
You forget that this is a mobile device. Which means you are playing games on the move.
People playing on trains, aeorplanes, cars, 10 minute work breaks, sitting at the bus stop, sitting on the toilet (yea i do this ), etc etc etc
You want to continue your game, but at a later date.

This sentence makes zero sense if you sit to think about it.
"Infinite Quarters" are there whether you have save states or not
Completing metal slugs, alien vs predator, final fight, street fighter, strider, rampage, ghould n ghosts, heck LOADS of games take ALOT longer than 5 minutes.
If you played ghould n ghosts for 5 minutes at a time, you would forever be playing the first level.
What is the point in that?
Yes, it is inconclusive, save states ARE needed.
However i have some unfortunate news, MAME4ALL will NEVER have save states, since it is based on a version of MAME that doesnt have them either.
Our only hope is to see what magic Tiger King can produce.
Anyway, no disrespect to Jrioni, i was one of the people that loved and bought his version of Mame.
I support him ALL the way.
But this version of Mame i prefer, the UI is superior to Jrioni. And since it is free, there is no need to purchase Jrioni anymore.
Anyone who wants to play Mame games, this is now the best version.
Glad I held off from buying Jrioni now. Was waiting for save states.
This seems better, though without save states as well.
...and to say Save States are not needed on a mobile device is well...I'm not going to get into it again...but its pretty stupid.

does Mame4droid support dip switches?
reason why i ask its pointless playing mame games for me on medium setting, i like to crank the difficulty up on games, otherwise no challenge !

No it doesnt.
Which is quite annoying because i cant change the analog sensitivity for games like Paperboy, which is unplayable on Mame4Droid because he steers to the left all the time.
Jrioni's graphics seem to be a bit better too. Mame4droid is a bit blockier.
Sound and speed works best on Mame4Droid though. And Mame4Droid is far more user friendly in setting up screen sizes etc.
mame4droid support dip switches u can enable it during in games by pressing select+start at the same time will bring up the menu, only the bad side is the graphic blockier but enable smooth graphic the games lag if it can fixed this then this is the best emu u can get for play.
Does the APP comes with roms or do you have to download them if so from where?! does the app run well on the sony play?

Yes!
Dip switches work.
This is hands down the best Mame emulator for Android. The only thing that can top this is save states or support for newer ROM sets.
Guy above. Don't ask for roms here. They are easily findable with any search engine.
for the roms to work with this Emulator what file type do the roms need to be?
It tells you on the market download page

I must be doing something wrong because even though sound is a bit better than Jrioni's, this emus is much slower, almost unplayable. So I will stick to Jrioni.

What games are you seeing that are slower?
For instance Three Wonders, and Mortal Kombat 2 does not work. On a second attempt I uninstalled it and downloaded from Market and works fine now.
FYI Three Wonders works perfectly in Tiger Arcade 2.20
I'm trying to put this on my ATT Captivate and I can not get the games to show up on the program. I know that I have the right versions of the games. After installing the program, I checked the SD card to see if a ROMs folder was created. There wasn't any so I created a ROMs/Mame4all/roms folder which didn't help. I tried to move the program to the SD card, but I couldn't see the folder when I put the card in a reader. What am I doing wrong?
Never mind. It was on the phone. I was able to see the folder after plugging the phone directly into the computer.
