High-performance MAME emulator for Android with 40,000+ supported classic arcade and retro system ROMs
MAME4droid (Current) brings the latest MAME emulator experience to Android, offering a fast, accurate, and feature-rich way to enjoy classic arcade titles and retro systems like ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, MSX, and more. Built by David Valdeita (Seleuco), this version is based on the newest PC MAME release and is designed for high-end Android devices.
With support for over 40,000 ROMs, performance varies by game—some will run perfectly, while others may not run at all. After installation, simply place your properly named, zipped ROMs inside /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.seleuco.mame4d2024/files/roms. This build only works with the latest MAME romset. MAME4droid is an emulator only and includes no ROMs or copyrighted content. For smooth gameplay, it also supports advanced controls and display options, ideal for users searching for “best retro arcade emulator for Android,” “high accuracy MAME emulator,” and “retro gaming on mobile.”
