MAME is an emulator designed to recreate classic arcade systems. The goal like many emulators is to keep gaming history alive by preserving old games. The desktop version for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator supports over 4000 games, but the current Android Arcade only supports select Capcom, Cave, and Neo Geo games.

The Punisher on Android Arcade

Our friend shinobiwan23 has posted another video demonstration of this emulator for Android. The game is not available in the Android Market, but can be downloaded from the web and installed with an app like AppsInstaller. Please visit the code site to download the latest apk file for installation: http://g-arcade.appspot.com/

Check out the video for instructions on setting up the controls and loading the roms. A short preview of Final Fight and Metal Slug is included. Please visit shinobiwan23′s YouTube channel if you would like more videos of Android games.

TeraGadgets has released a new version of KIDD GBC which is showing a lot of progress. KIDD GBC is a Nintendo GameBoy Color emulator for Android. The UI has received a major overhaul and a new control method was added. A list of new features includes:

Thumbnail images for save states
Add roms to list on start screen instead of needing to go through the load menu every time
Simple touch controls
Screen for save and load states redesigned
Non-fullscreen mode added back in
Doesn’t crash anymore when you get a call/different apps window pops up
Option to not display the frames per second

The new load screen for KIDD GBC

Our friend shinobiwan23 has uploaded another video which demonstrates how to load roms and configure control settings. The touch controls need some improvement, but at least they are working. It would be interesting to use motion controls for old school GameBoy games similar to the Wii. Sound is still not available, but should come in a future release. Help support the development of KIDD GBC by purchasing the application from the Android Market for only $2.00.

Speaking of updates, the developer of Doom for Android is also working on touch controls and now has sound working. If you like Doom, help contribute to porting Quake by donating to our Bounty.
