  2. Then, if the phone is turned over in the first 10 seconds, shut accelemymote down.
  3. If it is not shut down during the first 10 s, it remains running and can be disabled/reenabled by flipping the phone over so you can use it for specific games*.
  4. When you quit MAME, if it started up accelemymote, it shuts it down.

Feel free to add a separate ROM list section on the wiki that has more details about the ROM than the current good/bad/ugly lists. It will be a good place to share information about tested ROMs such as the speed, custom settings, and problems. These are going to be rather subjective based on what else is running etc., but it would be useful to see what the situation is with default/OC setup, for example. Make sure to include the version of MAME and user name next to additions.

* It has to be running, but not necessarily active, when MAME starts so that MAME detects it as a joystick.
Some games that do seem odd (using MAME comparison on G1, Droid and PC).

1. Galaga 88 plays slow, but full speed on netbook PC (romset not supported on G1 or Droid (34/35b set).
2. Neo Geo games plays at or almost full speed on G1 and Droid.
3. The irony is there are MANY games that plays a lot faster on your fine MAME app than any other portable device, so there you go

800mhz OC helps, but still not as smooth for Galaga88 or some Neogeo games. On the bright side as mentioned, there are probably more games that play BETTER on your app (even without OC). Seems that it may be a driver issue that Galaga88 and Neogo romsets do not fair as well?
