@pete_w can you assist?

Retroarch is a backwards step in addition to creating unneeded and out of date cores they also use obsolete emulators solely because they just run an example of this is handy whilst it runs most Atari Lynx games its emulation dates from the late 90s aside from being ported to SDL its not been worked on since great if you just want to play games but not accurately You mean like Agemame was to begin with before it was swallowed into mame

And where are those guidelines........that's the problem it's a case of do as I say not as I do

Seen the civil war from Haze on X? I kind of see his point

Excellent i seem to recall many layouts are already in mame for both mpu5 and sc4 i should be getting a steam deck shortly so will be able to test

I actually had a play with Retroarch I still hate its interface and it sends emulation back about 20 years but it does have a current core for MAME unsure if this handles touchscreen any better as my device is old? https://docs.libretro.com/guides/arcade-getting-started/

Depends on your era start with some 2p £1.50 jackpot machines from the 80s from PCP and JPM Copperwin test pilot spoof step n skip copper account blue streak

Retroarch is Satan's emulator did the buttons work in game for you?

You could post it as an issue on the git and maybe he would add it?

Anyone able to try on a pc with a touchscreen does it pick up the touches if the windows one doesn't the android one won't?

I have installed the 139 version I am unable to test the new one as I have an older machine running android 9 and touch screen works for the quiz games but I recall the timing being off on these so you get 'killed' on the question marks too easily as the timer goes down too quick other than that they work I seem to recall around mame 162 it went all cycle accurate on us so took a lot more oomph to run even for games that are quite simplistic.

He still updates the other builds however there is one for 139u1 too updated the same time I noticed this anyone have a device to test my Ambernic is on 9

Had a thought on this and maybe maybe not depends on how many buttons and how good your patience is I would expect that the JPM Impact SWP games might be fun a bit like scummwm using the touch screen or the built in mouse we are getting to the stage where the handhelds are not low powered some of them are running PS2 games at a respectable rate for example.

This could be interesting mame 261 has been ported to android in theory it should run JPM impact and a few others https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seleuco.mame4d2024&hl=en_GB&gl=US

Implement Bell Fruit 96x8 dot matrix display for Scorpion 5. #11805 https://github.com/mamedev/mame/pull/11805

I also give this some thought and got a RG552 in the black friday sale sad to say the (ZX touch) does not do enough to justify its price tag.

Ouch seems dear compared to its competitors one of the problems with touch screen devices is how it handles the keyboard be interesting how they solve that

Like the look of that Zx Touch did they mention price I might get one

I have downloaded this on the android play store and purchased the full version I have loads of ZX Spectrum roms (awaits the pitch forks) but has anyone got a dat or a games pack where they are already set up with the inlay art etc ready to use?

That fat bastard that was selling fme Dvds and usb sticks on facebook had these for sale as well not sure how they would play as it would need multi touch to work imagine (for example) when you get a ? on sonic cancel slows down the selection you then press start to pick would it slow and allow the selection possibly possibly not would need to be tested.

Wonder if it's worth right clicking the mfme.exe and running as admin?

Not going down well for them they have done a Bud Lite
