FPSECE 0.10 and HTC HD2 - Install / Configure / Play - Complete HowTo incl BGP100 Gamepad
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb3MJAQMrCE
FPSECE 0.10 can be found on fpsece.net. The 0.10 is the newest version of the "First PlayStation Emulator for windows CE" (the one before is 0.96 - i know the version numbers are a bit squishy ...).
For information about how to set up FPSECE 0.10 go check i900frenchaddict on youtube. He has a lot of videos which help. But its for a TG1 so it might differ in some points. Maybe im going to record the same stuff for HD2.
In free version there is no G-Sen, Gamepad, Multitouch support for HD2
For the supporter version:
-Gsensor working with every HTC including HD2
-MSI BGP100 bluetooth gamepad working for the HD2 (and every device) without extra drivers
-The delay when you touch the screen is now fixed, no delay at all!
-Overlay in Tekken 3 are back!
-Multitouch is working now

Can you be a bit more specific about where we can find this emulator and about the games for it? I like it very much but I'm a bit noob to Windows Mobile so I will be glad to have a little more details on the subgect. Thanks in advance!

hey, no problem. i thought it was clear but i see i was wrong ... edit will follow in just a moment

Just read the manual or the other Fpsece thread; you need to configure the vol up and down button to play Tekken 3 because of the input delay.
Final Fantasy VII and VIII plays perfectly.

Go check http://www.youtube.com/user/i900frenchaddict especially http://www.youtube.com/user/i900frenchaddict#p/u/2/SVm1tg6H90Q. It helped me to understand how the setup works.

Not sure if it helps but these are my *.ini's

How do I use these .ini files for my phone?
I have everything working on my HD2 but I battle to play the games because I cant configure the controls even with the help of the video's.
One question that I cant figure out is how to bring back the FPSE menu once you have activated the game in landscape? I have to pull out my battery and restart to "exit"...

Tap the very top right hand corner of your HD2 screen to flip it back to portrait.

Note: Tekken 3 may bring problems in displaying the overlays of the onscreen buttons due to its specific patch (that can be removed but the game may be slower, see tekken3 in the gamelist file and see tekken3 config file if you want to try removing this patch)
So if you have difficulties in setting the overlays, don't try with tekken 3 at first, try any other game, Tekken 3 is the only one with that kind of overlay problem
(I would say a not too fast RPG is good to learn how to use the onscreen buttons. And once again, HD2 users will have to wait for Schtruck to work a little more to get fast and responsive onscreen controls since the capacitive screen and its bad compatibility with WinMo 6.5 has brought new problems including a big delay on the onscreen keys, that doesn't occure with a resistive screen)

The G sensor doesn't work on my HD2 ! Is there any plug in I have missed?

Its not a feature with the HTC HD2 yet.
I have driver 2 and wipeout working like a dream on my hd2, except the screen is far to sensitive and makes it impossible to drive.
Any settings to change this?

Why are there two threads on the FPSECE when most of the questions and replies in this thread are of the same type in the other thread?

basically this thread is for the gameplay showed in videos and for sure people will ask how it works if it doesnt for them.
later on i will give you guys a video of MediEvil 2 on HD2 but atm i still play with the setup. Hardware buttons doesnt have a delay but the game gets a bit laggy

Did someone get the G-sensor working?

nope, for gsen working under HD2 we have to wait for next version (ive read this somewhere, cant remember where).
See first post, ive added MediEvil 2 video

added a quick guide for those who really dont have a clue what to do with fpsece

FFVII is...not really working. The sound is cutted but the game speed is always at 61f/s.
But the big problem for me is the virtual pad. It responds very slowly and the multitouch isn't working at all.
I don't know if that because I don't have the good bios or else, but it's quite unplayable.
Someone have a clue ?

lets say it this way: there is no HD2 support at the moment but it will change soon. FPSECEs core is rewritten and there is support for the TG01 (g-sen) as far as i know. So 0.10 works much better than 0.96, so far i didnt have any problem to open a rom. my guess: still the problem is there are many different devices and this emulator depends on the hardware of a device (kind of screen, hardwarekeys, bluetooth for gamepads differs, etc.).
But somewhere on http://www.fpsece.net ive read about one of the guys of fpsece will get a HD2 soon and there will be support for it

Hum...I see, I misunderstand "multitouch screen" and "on-screen multi-touch button-assignment".
Then I'll wait for another release. FFVII will wait for me too ! ^^'

Why can't you just set some of your keys to toggle? Did this for FFVII and FFVIII and it works beautifully.

[Searching] Amiga Emulator for WinMo 6.5

I'm looking for an Amiga emulator for my HTC HD2 with WM6.5.5 installed
Can't find anything that is recent that works on WM6.5 and/or WVGA
Anyone?! [^_^] TiA

Thank you very much. I had come across the Pocket version of UAE, but an older version and was forward thinking enough to check 'sourceforge'.
The images look pretty good so far... downloading currently and will give it a try on the tube home... will have to look around for some legally free adf's on-line or whatever UAE uses to try it out, until I get home... where I have many stored on a DVD from the good old days.
Will update once I've given a try. Thanks again 'hasinasi' [^_^]

So! How did it go? I was the last Amiga owner among my friends i loved Amiga. Have you managed to get the Amiga running on you MoPhone?

interested in this...

I looked at the page and hmmm we can forget to use it on a non-stylus phone i think....

I tried this on my Athena and Universal
The emulator itself is pretty good but not without issues. For 640x480 devices there is no onscreen keyboard and the Leo/HD2 lacks a joypad so most games are going to be useless.
The Athena and Universal with their hardware keyboard were ideal for this emulator and I managed to play a few games quite well.
Some games like Frontier, Carrier Command, and Captive which are 99% mouse controlable should be playable using the stylus for mouse controls and speed should be good as well. Also a lot of the old music demos would be ok as well.
I shall give it a try at somepoint myself as I have one of those old Bluetooth joypads which I can try and use. will let you know how it goes if I get anywhere.

You can use LMTs multitouch gamepad as a dpad replacement. It is configurable and works in any app. It converts the input to keyevents. Have a look in the LMT thread for further details...

Did you guys get this to work on winmo 6.5?
I am not having luck with my tilt 2 so far.

Amiga Emulator Working Great for me with LMT controller
Pocket Ultimate Amiga Emulator is now working great for me on the old games I use to love. It runs at 640x480 and I use LMT v0.8x from this page of the LMT forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629263&page=74
Get the 'x' version of that controller I link to -- it's on the page I link you to in the first post, "LMT v0.8x", that version is great because it includes a '2 mouse button' controller as well as the full gamepad. These 2 buttons rest down at the bottom of the screen and are out of the way of the emulator. Because they are not sitting on top of the screen I can play my favorite 'mouse games' from the Amiga now, such as 'populous I and II', and 'powermonger' and 'lemmings'. My favorite games were the mouse games so the '2 button controller' is fantastic.
Please give it a try -- I find PocketUAE to be now functional with LMT v0.8x.
TIPS: gapi driver mode gives a 'touchpad style' mouse experience, and dbi driver mode is 'stylus style', so I'd practice with the mouse in gapi mode before trying point+click dbi. I have mine set for dbi 320x480 full screen left hand side rotation so I can use the 2 mouse buttons on left side of screen and point with my right hand fingers. Have fun and good luck!
For a great place to get disks of games, google up "the game archives roms emulators" and choose the first link.
Now I'm off to find dos emulators so I can try and make 'dungeon keeper' work with this 2 button controller version of LMT v0.8x
PS: don't just get lmt v0.8x for emulators, it has FULL GLOBAL MULTITOUCH GESTURE SUPPORT on any screen you are in on the hd2, and if configured properly you can do some amazing things that no other smartphone of our caliber can do. It can close a foreground app with a double finger swipe, which for gamers means NO MORE BATTERY PULLING TO GET OUT OF A GAME.... It floats OVER gapi which is strong stuff.

Stay away from AnDOSBox

As I'm sure many of you are aware, people posting pirated apps the Android market has been a problem, but with in that problem is people posting GPL based applications, but refusing to comply with the terms of the the GPL. I've recently discovered that AnDOSBox, based on the DOSBox open source project, is one of those. It's not "convenient" for them to comply at this time. As an open source developer myself (but not of DOSBox itself, so I unfortunately can't file the DMCA violation request with Google), I hate to see people ripping off open source software and blatantly violating the license. Please do not buy AnDOSBox from the market.

OK, I'll have to get it by alternative means then!

hehe, I agree.
I just found this while I am publishing aDosBox 0.2beta.
It even uses a similar icon(or almost the same with aDosBox)

You are one of the devs on aDosBox??? Congrats on the new release! A really long wait... but worth it

And for those who don't know... aDosBox is heaps better than this AnDosBox... try it out on the Market!!!! I give it a 5 star rating!

uh, it's like you've just said - i didn't try andosbox... because its really way better than all other dosbox ports for android. i tried adosbox today to see if it improved, but it's still no comparision to andosbox - it's not even half as smooth.

lol that's quite funny, because adosbox just uses the original logo of adosbox, and andosbox is just slightly different - and you're accusing him of something? LOL

What games are you running on it? I have tried Airborne Ranger, Xenon 2, Magic Candle, Bard's Tale, Rogue, 2400AD, Altered Beast, Tyrian 2000, Ultima 4 and 5, Dune and none of them have any lag in them. I tried Andosbox and don't think that I'll support it at that price.
I'm using a snapdragon device btw.

Really hope aDosbox gets more releases out. Hope I could contribute somehow, but I have no clue how the software is being developed.
I tried adosbox recently after finding out that Raptor was available for the Apple Store.
aDosBox runs raptor too, but for my device it doesn't work that great yet. I still have hope.
Meanwhile, I found out that even though the developer of aNdosbox is charging 4 bucks, since it's under the GPL, people who paid for it are free to redistribute it. There is a 1.0.1 version hovering around on the net. If you can't find the link then let me know. But, andosbox can't even run some of the stuff adosbox does.

Let me clarify what I was talking about:
aDosBox 0.1 alpha was published in Feb 2010 and its logo is a combination of DosBox icon and Android robot icon. (just google aDosBox)

They do provide the source now, though you have to prove that you've got the binaries from them (which seems to be fine per GPL - they only have to provide sources to people they distribute the binaries to, and not just everyone; though of course others should be able to share once they get sources for themselves).

hm..... Can't understand here. Which one had you really tried?
Let me clarify what I was talking about:
aDosBox 0.1 alpha was published in Feb 2010 and its logo is a combination of DosBox icon and Android robot icon. (just google aDosBox)

Thanks for the minor updates over the last week. If I may suggest something, I find that it is a bit hard to see what I type on the screen because the virtual keyboard opens up and covers most of the screen, is it possible to show just the command prompt line above the virtual keyboard instead of having to hide and re-open the virtual keyboard to see whether input is correctly made? Thanks a lot.

Much work has been put into AnDosBox, and it is the best DosBox emulator by far at the moment. It has games working better on the Android than I could make them run on any of my PCs, which is quite a feat.
Its mouse control is really great. The only way to do a mouse control on a touch phone without having a bluetooth mouse and tv-out of some kind.
I really did not think the old dos games could run that well on an Android phone (mine is Samsung Galaxy S), but I do hope that others manages to make emulators run better as well, so we might see emulators with a better kind of Joystick support. Although the kind he has implemented is in the direction of what I would want to do for a onscreen joystick. Being able to just place your thump anywhere, and move up, down, left or right.
But it would probably be easier with a on screen firebutton as well, which is seems to lack. And being able to not have the joystick area in the middle of the Screen.
The Pelya stuff in aDosBox is nice, and it is probably able to run some games that AnDosBox cannot. But so far most games seems to run in AnDosBox better than I would have anticipated.
And they are finally sharing the source. I will try to ask him for it myself.

hehe, I agree.
I just found this while I am publishing aDosBox 0.2beta.
It even uses a similar icon(or almost the same with aDosBox)

I finally got to test aDosBox properly. For some reason I only got the SDL options to work with the menu button at first, and it sure helps being able to see the keyboard, quit button and all that. Since I cannot write anything in the developer section yet, I will post some feedback here:
Mouse support, I cannot get it to work at all. I have found that andosbox has a good mouse support, while adosbox has a good joystick / arrowkeys support. I am guessing I might be able to get the mouse to work if I make the Joystick control the mouse, but what I have come to find as the best method of controlling the mouse in games using a real mouse, is using the screen as a touch pad. But it seems a problem with Pelya to make that work properly.
Also an option to hide the on screen controls while they are still active would be nice.
Mouse calibration, that part might be the reason why the mouse does not work at all for me, but when going into it, I cannot select the screen. I can touch the 4 corners and it just goes into the Menu when I press menu after.
http://anddev.at.ua/load/emulators/dosbox_0_74/2-1-0-12
This one seems to show how that was meant to work, but I never really found a good way to make it work. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S, so the bottom right corner goes into my menu key. Top right goes into the back key. The DoxBox for Android I just linked has attempted to make the keymapper available on the menu key, which seems to be rather fail, since at most settings it is impossible to get out off again. Your menu seems to work much better, but after going into the SDL settings it seems to be lost, and only the SDL is on the menu key.
I am looking into Android development myself, I hope I can help some day, but I am still only just learning my way around the SDL and making some tutorial apps to get started. Good luck with the aDosBox project though.

They denied my request for the source code because I refunded the app. Sigh.

This may be the wrong area to ask, but in using aDosBox I'm having trouble starting the keymapper since my android on-screen keyboard obviously doesn't have "ctrl" or F-keys. How are the rest of you mapping keys for playing games? I have an Xperia Play running 2.3.3. With the stock settings but checking the box for having "Arrows/joystick/dpad" I can get the directional buttons to work, but can't map the triangle/square/x/o buttons to what I need for Commander Keen 4. Any help?

I have a droid incredible.
That said I tried adosbox and it works, but pretty slow.
I looked up many reviews and finally broke down and bought andosbox. (15 min refund if you don't like it made the deal sweet)
I have to say for the games i have played andosbox is 200% better, smoother more polished system. I been playing masters of orion 2 and anvil of dawn. Well, no lag on andosbox and while they are playable on adosbox, the difference is worth the 4 bucks.
So you get what you pay for in this instance. I like both programs and sdl is only currently supported by adosbox so it has that going for it as well.
So thanks for creating these awesome ports. I do recommend using adosbox to see how it runs on your phone before getting andosbox. Just i find i like the tilt and menus in andosbox better (plus default speed boost)
-------------------------------------------------
Also to respond to the game pad question, you can get a blue tooth joystick. or look on the net / market for gamepad keyboards. or on screen game pads. loconet sells one but i bet there are free ones as well.
I have the htc droid incredible so hid bluetooth is not working, but there are some joysticks out there that still work.
If you want alternate onscreen buttons. You will have to find one in the market.
Basicly you change your default keyboard to replace it with one that has the inputs you need.

If anybody is looking for the source...

(1.1.8 -> hxxps://sites.google.com/site/andosbox/AnDosBox_1.1.8.rar?attredirects=0)
Have fun

Can you post the sources to the 1.1.9 version?
I posted the apk here, and even though it's GPL'ed software, my post was removed and I received an infraction from XDA.
BTW, it seems the reason that AnDosBox runs faster than aDosBox is because AnDosBox has a permanent framedrop hardcoded. Can someone try 1-3 framedrop on aDosBox and compare? I suspect the speed would be identical!

Try to build adosbox with Eclipse
This is what I done
svn checkout source trunk (adosbox source code from google code)
download Eclipse
build adosbox with Eclipse
build and install successfully on emulator/mobile.
BUT when I execute it Shows error message unfortunately adosbox has stopped.
also 0 errors but contains 2 warning , some yellow exclamation sign in MainActivity.java

Hi, I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong area. How do you bring up the in-app menu on the Samsung Galaxy S7? The menu (two squares) button tries to go to split-screen mode and the back button exits the app. Long-pressing either does not work. The Assistant Menu option (under Accessibility) does not work either. I can't even bring up the keyboard at the DOS prompt. Pressing the menu button worked on the S4 and long-pressing it worked on the S5, but no idea how to bring up the menu on the S7. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance!

I want a version of mame for android. Anyone up to start a donation fund?

I was surprised that mame does not exist for android. I thought mame has been ported to pretty much everything, so surely there must be a version for android right? I know there is a version of mame that plays cp2 games and supports a couple of other types of hardware, but I'm referring to old school games (pac-man, frogger etc).
I'd like there to be a more robust mame for android. Something that supports all the roms as it does on the desktop. Obviously if it's a more modern rom and the cpu of your android device isn't enough for it, then it won't run well.
Again, for me personally it would be mainly the classic arcade games.
Most I can imagine working well, some wouldn't (like say defender just cause of it's control scheme).
Anyway, I'd really like to see this happen, but someone mentioned on another forum that developers don't want to as mame is opensource and they couldn't sell a closed source version. Actually, just reading the mame page it states:
"Redistributions may not be sold, nor may they be used in a commercial product or activity." It also goes on to say the source code would have to be released.
Would a donation fund be in conflict with the above? Hmm, probably so I assume. But again, it would be paying a developer a one-time fee for his service of porting and not the final product per say. Once he/she claims this bounty, it would be free to all others. Can anyone chime in if that would be in conflict?
Would any developer be interested in this? What would be a fair amount for this work? If I started this fund with even a small amount of say 10 dollars, if 10 others did, obviously it would only be 100.00. But maybe after some time 100 would. Would 1000.00 be worth it to a developer to take this task? I have no clue how difficult this would be to port to android (c to java porting). Obviously, some type of custom overlay controls would be needed as well in addition, a touch based frontend for launching the games.
Companies (atari etc) may not like the existence of emulators and I know roms bring up issues and would never be distributed, but emulators alone are completely legal.

Hey woah... Hold up on all the replies. One at a time folks.
I'm a little surprised, no one is interested to see mame on android? After productivity apps it was the first thing I thought of when I thought of gaming on my android. I've waited a while to see if things would happen, so now I thought of this idea.
No one is interested?

You won't be seeing recent versions of MAME running on Android at any point soon. The performance requirements for MAME have gone up drastically as MAME gets more and more accurate with its emulation. As such, you're only going to see older versions of MAME being used in stuff like phones, such as MAME 0.37 or below.
And for someone like you who really wants the older classics, running an older version of MAME would be better for you anyways unless you'd want to see the classics stutter and be almost unplayable.

I haven't been actively following mame development as of late,but I do remember when they changed from sound samples in asteroids and the CPU requurements went up drastically. But that was a unique case of emulating analog circuitry. So I'd be surprised if the requirements went up dramatically for say pacman.
But fine let's say you are right point taken. I would have no qualms with mame . 35 or whatever. But again few seem interested.

Besides the ones in the market?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/jrioni-arcade-full-version/com.jrioni.jarcade
Or this?
http://g-arcade.appspot.com/

g arcade only supports:
Capcom CPS-1,CPS-2,Cave
Neo Geo (make sure neogeo.zip(bios file) is in the same folder)
Taito, Toaplan
That's the one I was referring to initially. Not interested in that.
jroini I saw before and was under the impression it only supported modern hardware similar to g arcade but it seems I was wrong. However it is a commercial app and not in compliance with the mame license. From it's blog:
http://jrioni-arcade.blogspot.com/
Starting at the next release, Jarcade will no longer contain MAME core engine in order to be compliant with MAME license.
I'll separate all android related work from MAME core engine including UI/touch control, opengl rendering, screen preview/Cabinet, video/sound filter, file handling...etc.
There will be a separate MAME engine APK which will be open-source and free to download from Market.
What does this mean to you?
You'll need to download and install MAME APK separately.
Again, this is needed in order to continue supporting the project.
I hope you understand

So it sounds like mame will be free and what he'll be charging for is the android gui?
Anyway, I'll look into this option further.

See my recent post. I have ported my iOS mame 0.37b5 Mame4all port called iMAME4all to Android. It's called MAME4droid. No stutter with correct hw without filtering
Let you play all classic

Hey! I just came here to spread the word! I just found this yesterday.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Just some comments. Not really related to your app but I have roms of a modern set and having difficulty converting my roms. I believe I understand how clrmamepro works (although I think the interface is clunky) and I didn't see any errors in conversion (using your dat file) but yet over half my roms won't work saying they are missing files. I used to use a different program for rom sets but I can't recall it's name as it has been a number of years. Even if it's still around, I assume you don't have a dat file for other rom conversion utilities. I can't recall if dat files are universal. I guess I could grab an exe of mame 37 and use that as it's reference.
On your program, great stuff! My only complaint is the actual controls unfortunately. And this may not be a fault of your software, rather my inability to get accustomed to touch based controls. Even in the menu to select a game I keep accidentally trigger a left or right and go down a full page. I have to be calm and patient just to select a game. I'm not sure how this can be resolved though. There is a dead zone option but no fine tuning. Maybe that would help. Or even an option to scale the control size? I realize that may start to overlap the game, but for good controls I'd sacrifice that.
What I think does need changing is the threshold for trackballs. I tried playing attaxx (a turn based game, so it doesn't require twitch skills) and even on the lowest trackball sensitivity setting I couldn't play it.
Also, is there a way to get into the dip switches of games? (difficulty, # of lives etc).
Finally, some games I prefer the bootleg version. If I have them in a merged set does it recognize that? For ex, with galaxians I prefer super galaxians that has the alternate board layout. Do I need to make separate rom set for that and not a merged set? Also, galaxians enemies shots seem to flicker more than I recall in mame on a pc. But a minor gripe.
Anyway, my only real gripe is the controls and that may just be my inexperience with touch based controls. But man, try and play frogger (which requires someone to let go and and then re-push in a direction) I could barely get a frogger to his home!
Regardless, thanks again. Android really needed this!

MAME is meant to be played on with buttons and real joysticks.

Yes I realize that, however things might be able to be changed to make the controls more usable. The trackball sensitivity definitely needs adjusting. And maybe a tweak for the deadzone option (like set a threshold value?).

[GAME][2.1+/3.1+] MAME4droid Reloaded- MAME 0.134u4 port for Android

Hi, I'm the MAME4droid developer.
I have released a new MAME port called MAME4droid Reloaded that is based on MAME 134u4. It has savestates
This MAME4droid version is targeted to Dual-Core devices (1GHz and 512MB RAM minimum), because it is based on a high specs 2009 PC MAME build.
Anyway don't expect arcade games of the 90 to work at full speed. With some games that are really bad optimized (like outrun or mk series) you will
need at least a 1.5 ghz dual-core device. This is related to MAME build used, since it is targeted to high specs PC's as i said before.
This version doesn't have an uml back end ARM dynamic recompiler, which means drivers based on high specs arcade CPUs won't be playable
(it has not sense since this games will be slow in any case).
Said that, with a low end device, use at your own risk. I suggest you use MAME4droid (0.37b5) instead.
Remember that games that can be emulated on both MAME4droid versions will run much faster on MAME4droid (0.37b5) than on MAME4droid Reloaded (0.134),
and will drain less battery.
This version emulates over 8000 different romsets.
Please, try to understand that that with that amount of games, some will run better than others and some might not even run with MAME4droid Reloaded.
Please, don't email me asking for a specific game to run.
Tips to help performance: use lower quality sound or switch it off. Disable stick and buttons animations and disable smooth scaling also.
After installing, place your MAME-titled zipped roms in /sdcard/ROMs/MAME4droid/roms folder.
MAME4droid Reloaded uses only '0.134u4' romset.

Maybe this is of interest to you or any of you friends.
Mod edit: Here's the link.

Just tried it. Very good. Thanks a lot! Keep up the good works

I would test it but I can't find roms with that romset

Will give it a shot when I get home.
What does this set add over the current Mame4droid set? Do we have support for CPS2 roms yet?

Hi! Thanks for the hardwork!!!!
Will this emu have uni_bios support etc¿¿¿
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

from where to download roms for this....??

This version supports very current mame romset and many games work smooth on samsung galaxy S, it supports neogeo cps1/2 i tried cps3 but somehow cant get proper version/romset.
It supports MK1/2/3 but that would require 2 cores.
Many games work smoother when you set frame skip to 6 instead of auto and when you set video render to GL.
Its great ! basically like MAME on PC.
People would be definitely happy cause its really nice to have such new romset on portable device
For roms try to search some internetz i dont think anyone would give you links here cause its forbidden on some forums.
http://code.google.com/p/imame4all/

Oh finally Double Dragon on my android! Great work! thanks

Just tried NOCD SFIII and it recognized the game and loaded it but then on 100 % i was dropped out of the emu , similar situation is with PGM game Martial Masters and a couple others.But im not sure if its rom version mismatch or what.
Im not SFIII fan so i didnt did research about its rom sizes and names.

thanks a lot for the great release!!

you was already told that, you won't find complete 0.134u4 set anywhere. do these steps to get it:
1. register on pleasuredome.
2. download [FREE] MAME 0.145 ROMs torrent.
3. get cmpro 4.03a.
4. get MAME4droid Reloaded 1.0 WIP.dat from my post above.
5. put this dat file to datfiles directory of cmpro.
6. load it with default settings.
7. go to Rebuilder.
8. define source folder with MAME 0.145 ROMs and any new folder for rebuilt ROMs.
9. press Rebuild.
10. after rebuild is done, get [FREE] MAME - Rollback ROMs (v0.145) torrent.
11. go to Settings/ROM-Paths in cmpro.
12. define folder with recently rebuilt ROMs.
13. go to Settings/Add-Paths in cmpro.
14. define folder with MAME - Rollback ROMs (v0.145) here.
15. go to Scanner, uncheck Samples and CHDs and press New scan.
16. check all squares in Fix column.
17. cmpro should scan your rebuilt ROM set and add missing files from rollback set.

Very nice write up!
