This tool only applicable on MEmu w/ Android 5.1.2 image
At time of this writing with more than 2.5 billion active users per month, Google's Android is the most widely used smartphone operating system in the world. So if you're a fan of retro style games then M.A.M.E ( an acromym for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator ) will be the right choice to play them on MEmu App Player, a well known Android emulator for Windows machines, too.
FYI: M.A.M.E is a free and open-source emulator designed to recreate the hardware of arcade game systems in software on modern personal computers and other platforms. The intention is to preserve gaming history by preventing vintage games from being lost or forgotten.
Today, because a stable Android port of M.A.M.E exists, I offer here a tool that programmatically installs M.A.M.E on a MEmu instance and allows you to run a pre-installed game.
M.A.M.E takes off 58 MB disk space of Android's partition /data - partition /system isn't affected - plus size of each ROM.
Pre-requisites:
A MEmu instance with
2 CPUs
4 GB RAM
OpenGL
set.
The low performance of some games is because M.A.M.E. is compatible with more than 8,000 different 'romsets'. In other words, there are still thousands of different games that will work perfectly on any MEmu instance.
Preparation:
1. Download the MEmu-Mame-1.13-43-universal-Installer.ZIP from here ( ~76MB ).
2. Unzip the archive to any location of your Windows machine
You get subfolders / files as listed next
ReadME.txt
Android
\com.seleuco.mame4droid_1.13-43-universal.apk
\mk4.zip
Windows
\Install-MAME.bat
ADB
\adb.exe
\AdbWinApi.dll
\AdbWinUsbApi.dll
3. Close ALL running MEmu instances
4. Launch the MEmu instance you want to get M.A.M.E installed on
M.A.M.E installation:
Go to unpacked subfolder "Windows" and run the Windows Command script "Install-MAME.bat" housed there, what does the job.

Testing:
If all went well, in M.A.M.E select "Mortal Kombat 4" ROM to play ...
Enjoy playing hundreds of classic arcade games on MEmu App Player.
Adding ROMs:
In general, you will only get good results with a full set of ROMs. Incomplete ROM sets (i.e. smaller collections of individual ROMs) are unlikely to work well. This is because certain roms (known as child roms) are dependent on files in other ROMs (known as parent ROMs) for example Pacman is actually an American clone (child) of the original Japanese game Puckman (Parent). Without both files, most games will immediately exit.
There are a number of different rom set versions. Different versions contain different games (although there's plenty of overlap). A huge repository of M.A.M.E compatible ROMs here
Important:
The ROMs ( ZIP-files ) you intend to add to M.A.M.E always have to get stored in MEmu instance's Android folder
/storage/emulated/0/MAME4droid/roms.

Back in the late seventies or early eighties, you may have had a Light-emitting diode (LED)-based handheld game console. They were manufactured by Mattel and a complete list of them is available HERE. They were pretty simplistic but still great fun and are, today, very hard to find (they’re typically a collector’s item offered accordingly at high prices).
Should you want to play some of these games under Windows Mobile (or, for that matter, Palm OS or the desktop Windows (even Vista)), you will want to turn to Peter Hirschberg’s LEDhead, the faithful reimplementation of some of these games. While only part of the original LED games have been re-implemented (compare the list of the originally available games HERE and the implemented games HERE), you may still find the currently available games fun or, at least, nice to bring up memories of those ages.
Fortunately, the games run flawlessly on all Windows Mobile devices – even WM5 / WM6 ones. Some example screenshots of them running on VGA devices:

(Space Alert)
As in the desktop version, the main menu allows for selecting the game you’d like to play. You can also redefine the hardware buttons (unfortunately, the app doesn’t read all the buttons dynamically – that is, if your handheld has more than 4 buttons, it’ll still list only four)
Getting, using
Get the emulator HERE (alternate download HERE) . Unzip the file and transfer LEDhead.exe and LEDhead.dll to your handheld. Start the former; select the game to run in the left list and click Start Game in the upper right corner. You can also disable sounds (using the Mute checkbox) and assign controls to hardware buttons.
Note that it also has an SH3 and a MIPS version, should you have an old PPC2k handheld.

MAME4droid Reloaded emulates arcade games supported by original MAME 0.134u4.
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, 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.

The idea for a “personalized Love Calculator” I got from one of these TV commercials for expensive Love Calculator apps. Why not to make an own Love Calc, which basically works exactly as useless as a “normal” Love Calculator , but with the small but important “fix” that it returns 100% when two special names are entered. That would be a nice gift idea for your significant other for christmas .
Who directly wants to jump to the files, just scroll to the end of this post. There is a ZIP file containing a ready-to-compile B4A project, made for a 720×1280 resolution.
Since I am not a Java coder, I was not in the mood to set up the SDK, IDE, paths and so on for a one time programming in Java. So I searched for a alternative for creating Android apps with as less setting up work as possible. I found B4A: Basic for Android. This is a development environment in which you can develop native Android apps in a Basic-like language. It also has a graphical GUI editor. One big advantage is is that no setting up of paths etc. is needed, since B4A offers the oppertunity of “Remote Compilation”, where the program is uploaded to a server where it is compiled. So you just need to install the 30 days trial version and you’re good to create an app (the Java JDK only needs to be installed). The only downside of this program is, that for a few seconds after opening the app, a message box is shown that the app was created with the trial version.
So here now a short guide, how to make your own, personalized Love Calculator:
Installation of the software:
1) Download and install the JDK (here)
2) Download and install the Basic 4 Android Trial (here).
3) Get the B4A Bridge App from the Play Store (here). This app is needed to test the compiled APK later.
When the softwares are installed, you can directly begin with the app itself .
Adjusting the app:
When you start the IDE from B4A the first time, you land in screen like this:
Via Source->Open Source you can load the project from the Love Calculator (at the end of this post). Then the source code should be loaded.
Now you can insert the “special” names : Just replace the value of the variable name1 and name2. If for example the names Dog and Cat should produce a 100% result, the following lines have to be changed like the following:
Code:
‘HIER DIE NAMEN ERSETZEN!!!
name1=”Cat”
name2=”Dog”
Te first line is simply a comment and means “Change the names here!”. This is the only part in the whole code which need to be changed. In the actual program it does not matter, which name is on which position or if written with capitals or not.
I adjusted the GUI to a display resolution of 720×1280. If you need an other resolution, you have to to this in the “Designer”.
Via “New Variant” you can create a new resolution. In the “Abstract Designer” you can scale and adjust the position of the UI elements. I won’t go here too much into details, if you have any questions, just write .
Save the project and choose “Release” from the dropdown list right beside the blue arrow. Then start the B4A Bridge App on your mobile. Click on “Start Bluetooth”. Then go to Tools – B4A Bridge – Connect (Bluetooth) in the IDE. First click Find devices and then your phone. Then you should be connected with your phone. Now you just need to hit the blue arrow and you’re done! The app should be installed several seconds later.
The compiled .apk should be placed in the project folder under /Objects . Surely this App won’t win an innovation or design award, but thanks to the little “Fix”, which gives a specific name combination always 100%, it is a nice little gimmick, especially for christmas time .
The ZIP-file of the project you can find on this site.

LINK CROSSOVER 15.5 alpha1
Produced by CodeWeavers, CrossOver is a commercial version of the more well-known Wine, the application that lets you run Windows programs on other operating systems such as Mac and Linux. commercial version means that additional technical support and an extremely simple configuration system to enable rapid installation for all users. The CrossOver operation is extremely simple and takes place thanks to a virtual desktop. With CrossOver will be even able to start video games on Steam. That said, it should not get excited too because the hardware of Chromebooks and Android tablets are certainly not at the height of the most intense games from a technical standpoint. Another important limitation of CrossOver is that it can only be used on Android devices that use an Intel processor, a big nut to crack since the Android tablet with this type of processors are not that common at the time.
I have test the app on Intel PC x86 with REMIX OS 6.0

CodeWeavers
As you wrote the main problem is that only intel based tablets can handle this app
It would be great on Remix-OS for PC as most PC's use Intel Processor's.

Click to expand...

but I think we will soon be extended only to other type of devices, its only the first alpha version @Heisenberg @Perseus you can move the tread on REMIX OS PC selection?
