Flandry, MAME will never lack for fans!!! It's an all-time classic, the granddaddy of emu's. The kiddies will always chase after fashion. We're here for the long haul for you, man.
I just want to confirm, accelymote needs to be started prior to opening MAME to enable accelerometer control-ability, yes?

Good to know people are still enjoying MAME.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

Hmm might just be you and me left in MAMEland, Bazza. Everyone else moved on to the flashy console emus.Can someone with their N900 overclocked at around 700 mhz run R-type on Mame and let me know what fps it runs at?
The reason i ask is that R-type on mame4all on my GP2X Wiz o/c'd at 700mhz runs at 100% and R-type on my N900 at standard clock speed runs at 84% after a stuttering start. i was just wandering what performance it will run at o/c'd (i am thinking of o/c my n900 only slightly nothing too high)
I finally found a working version of R-type and get 86% after the slow start you mention, and i've got an 805MHz clock. Something besides CPU speed is the limiting factor (or my N900 needs a reboot, which isn't unlikely). Memory bandwidth, i suspect...
Seems very playable at 86% with the default frameskip, though.
Does the new MAME version work fine with 1.1? I never upgraded to 1.2, since I only use my 900 for media and MAME. I do not want to go through the hastle of updating, since the OC kernel I use is one of the earlier ones and probably not update friendly. I do not want to risk hosing the device, since works fine for what I use it for.
"Beer", it's what's for dinner.

I do not think it is a bandwidth issue, since some very complex and graphic busy shooters play very well, while simple games like Galaga 88 play very slow. My 900 is clocked at 800mhz.
It turns out that memory bandwidth is one of the biggest limitations to graphical game performance on N900 because there's no dedicated VRAM. The actual limitation here could of course be something else entirely.
It's the performance of emulating processors that are running code in ROM that is the limiting factor, not the performance of running the game code itself. Some really simple games may use really complex processors or weird techniques that worked great on original hardware.

Hi, i Started this, http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...874#post765874
unaware that mame was on the 900 already!
Just wondering what the current state of it is, Ultimately I was looking to play Super Street Fighter II turbo, Is this a realistic prospect, or simply out of the phones capabilities?
Regarding arcade sticks connecting via usb, is that feasible out completely outlandish?

Sorry not tried these, not a big fan of the street fighter series, i will have a look for you though.
Does it have to be sf 2 turbo or any of the series?
Are you asking specifically to use an arcade stick or any controller?

There are some bluetooth controllers that should work fine but until USB host mode is released you won't be able to connect a USB controller.
I have some SF2 ROM and it isn't full speed but "works" with the default frameskip, however using the N900 keyboard for SF2 is hopeless and it also seems to lock up the phone UI after some time. I haven't diagnosed the cause yet.
Give it a go with the ROM in question and let me know how it works.

They work a treat and wireless which is much better
EDIT
Just tried street fighter 2 turbo (you will need street fighter 2 championship edition (world) as a parent rom aswell) and they both run at 72-85% on auto frame skip with a little drop in % when the screen gets busy or other words when i'm getting my butt kicked.
And again works well with six axis controller.
