If you haven’t heard, there’s a great gift for you lucky owners of iphone/ipads/whatever out there. Appstore has posted (for free) iMAME which is what you just guessed. If you need info on how to add roms to your iDevice here’s how:

So, Merry Xmas...

Or something...

After nearly 4 months of beta updates, it seems its time for a brand new official release of our beloved emulator. A ton of changes, 2 tons of fixes and plenty of games. Check here for the binary update (command line) or you can head straight for the UI version…
/me turns romhunting mode ON.

During a rather busy period for me and my family and an economic disaster involving the whole Greece, I have managed to see the light of vacation at a long tunnel starting at the end of July. In the meantime I’ve managed to get very little updates concerning the Emulation community, with the most interesting part being that John Hardy IV has an alternative way to run and enjoy official MAME versions from now and then. It’s called IV/Play (FourPlay; NOT Foreplay... you naughty you!), providing basically a frontend for our beloved Emulator MAME.

So; unless you don’t already know, it’s romhunting season since MAME 0.143 is out. Go! Go! Go!

Long time gone now; it’s been nearly three months without our emulator of choice. So; the nice guys over at mamedev decided to release version 0.142. You can find it at the official site, while the UI version is on its way too.
Ti’s the season boys! Happy romhunting!

Remember my 64Gb Ipad last year? Well, it’s no more. I decided to sell it for a cut-price to a friend that he will use it more than I did. I must admit that this piece of hardware served its purpose for me. I found out how the gestures work, loaded up a hell of a lot of apps, but still; I never managed to get used to it on a day-by-day basis. Instead; I am carrying around mostly my Sony VaioP25G on which (guess) I have loaded up OSX. The most annoying thing about it is its GMA500 intel VGA card.
Take my advice: If you are into the hackintosh gig DO NOT take a laptop/netbook with this VGA embedded. The most you can take out of it (afaik) is native (1600x768x32bit) framebuffer desktop. No Quartz Extreme nor Core Image.
There seems to be a Korean guy that managed to take a video of his VaioP with full acceleration support
here:


I don’t know how he managed; I don’t speak Korean either, so anyone who might wanna help, please be my guest.
