Mame

SDLMAME is the Simple Directmedia Layer port of the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. MAME has the ambitious goal to make it possible to archive all arcade machines by creating working hardware emulators to host all the the game code, or ROMs, that these machines employ.

Project Status
SDLMAME is currently being ported to Maemo 5. For MAME for earlier Maemo versions, see XMAME.At this point, SDLMAME is only available in Extras-devel, due to its incomplete state.

See the Talk thread for discussion of the progress.

ROM Status
Remember, for the sake of organization:
 * 1) Add games alphabetically and in the appropriate category.
 * 2) Make sure a game doesn't already exist in a different category.
 * 3) If a game is already in the list and in the same category as you would put it, make it bold by adding triple single quotes on either side of the name to indicate confirmation by a second tester.
 * 4) If the game is in a different category than you have it, move it to the Mixed Reviews list and indicate next to it the two conflicting experiences.
 * 5) If it's already in the Mixed Reviews list and you confirm one of the previous reviews, move it to that list.

Thanks for your help maintaining this list!
