And there isn't a universe of games waiting for you in SDLMAME, I suppose?

Well I think that basically is that the games are done for volonters that do not get any pay for it. So it is normal that games are not so well performed.

Anyway I think that nokia will give us soje good news about this topic.

Well that's all down to personal preference, don't you think? There are so many ways to pick games you might like - I've experimented with a ton! - and the tried and true method still works the best for me: looking through screenshots, playing a bit of the game, and adding it to favorites; or in this case, putting it on your N900. Of course, that doesn't guarantee the game will play, or play well enough, on the N900, but the only way to know is to try. Experimentation is half the fun.

So try this.

Go get MAMEUI here
http://www.mameui.info/

and get the screenshots (aka titles, or "snaps", the name of the folder you'll put it into) here
http://www.mametitles.com/

Install MAMEUI and put the snaps in their proper folder, run MAMUI, and as you scroll through the games list, you'll be able to see a screenshot of any game you might be interested in trying. And you'll also have the name of the rom you'd be intersested in right there in front of you.

Of course, if you do then want to get the games to play, you'll have to figure that part out on your own, but it shouldn't be too difficult. Again, as usual, there are easier and harder ways to to that, too.

***And please note, mods or anyone else, the links above are NOT to rom files, they are just to the MAME software itself, and to snapshots of the games that MAME currently runs - nothing more***

Need some Gameeeesss
 
I'm a proud owner of the N900, because i know of it's raw power, but i'm kinda upset of the lacking of applications, i know it's because of the OS's so new, and i'm hoping time will solve that problem, so i made this thread as kinda of a suggestion for developers, I hate seeing how apple's iphones got so many great games, like Resident Evil 4, and great graphics driving game making use of the accelerometer, so i was wondering if any of those games are coming to the N900, i know they could make even better ones, so i'm just hoping they're aiming in that direction.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a lot of iphone games to come to the N900, at least not in the near future. Quake III Arena is already here, but idk how many more like that will come.

Maybe once the ovi store gets on its way and developers see the real possibility of making money on this platform you might get your wish, but that could be a while.

There are games and there will be more games for the N900, and it is certainly capable of 3D gaming, but I don't believe you can really consider it a gaming platform at this time, at least not like the iphone.
