For MAME for earlier Maemo versions, see [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/xmame/ XMAME].At this point, MAME is only available in [[Extras-devel]], due to its incomplete state. For example, it might occasionally lock up your phone. There's no ETA on a completed version due to the huge scope of the project. |
