Supports modern device screen sizes, including iPhone X/XR/XS/XS Max and iPad Pro.64-bit binary to run on modern and future iOS devices.It has been updated to compile and runs on Xcode 11+/iOS/tvOS 12+ by Les Bird, and he has graciously added support for MFI Controllers. More than 2000 games are supported, and the currently supported romset version is MAME 0.139u1 (September 2010). MAME stands for Multi Arcade Machine Emulator, and lets you play arcade games from the past 30+ years on a device that fits in your pocket! My teenage self from decades ago would be replaying that "mind blown GIF" over and over again, but that GIF did not exist back then. This is a port of MAME 0.139u1 for iOS 12+, iPadOS 12+, tvOS 12+ and on both macOS Catalina & Big Sur using Mac Catalyst.
#Mac emulator mame upgrade
Upgrade to 0.124 baseline.Support HID devices like PS/2 to USB as separate joysticks.Original Author: David Valdeita (Seleuco)
Upgrade to 0.124 baseline.Support HID devices like PS/2 to USB as separate joysticks. Packed with games and accurate to the last, MAME OS X is an excellent application only let down by the fact that many of the games either fail to load or populate on the list.
Those few games that do work however are faithful reproductions of the original and give you a fully authentic arcade experience (without needing lots of coins of course). A progress bar tells you that a game has reached say 3% loading and then an error message appears "Some Files Were Missing" telling you to check the Window Log for more help. The second problem however is that many of the games fail to load. By default you open MAME OS X on Good but if you switch to All, you'll see all of the games available. There are three tabs at the top of the main window - All, Good and Favorites. The problem is that the audit button is clouded for some reason meaning you can't click it even if you want to. When MAME OS X initializes, it tells you that you must "Audit" to populate the list. There are literally hundreds of games to choose from but the problem is finding one that actually works.
