Verdict:
MAME4Droid allows Android gamers to carry a
complete arcade around with them. The quality of the emulation varies per
game but on the whole it is excellent, especially with graphics and
sounds set to lower settings.
Unfortunately, it is not possible for
MAME4droid to support 'save states' as the app is based on a MAME version that does
not support that particular feature. Nevertheless, this is a highly
recommended app.
