MameCE, the Pocket PC port of MAME was just updated to version 9.0! Here's what's new in this release:
Long awaited Auto Installation file! No more juggling directories or wondering if the Rom Folder is in the right place. Just Double Click, select Next 2 times, and voila. Just add your favorite Game ROMs and start playing.
Roms can now be stored in a ROMs Folder that is autocreated in \Program Files\MAMECE\, a ROMS folder located on \storage card\Program Files\MAMECE\, a ROMS folder located in the \My Documents\ folder, or ROMs just stored in the \My Documents Folder.
Redesigned the GUI. It now has Nice colors for a better presentation :)
Achieved some speed improvements due to the code restructuring. Unfortunately it is only really noticable in the ARM version. I don't know why.
Fixed the Frame Counter. It is more accurate now.
Cleaned out lots of old test code and preprocessor stuff that was not needed. This
should help others understand the logic and flow of the program code.
Restructured and rebuilt MameCE3 from Scratch. I wanted to ensure that it was as clean as possible with no redundant functions or code. The GUI is now almost completely
separated from the MAME engine. A single function links the GUI code to the os dependant code and the actual MAME Engine.
You can grab a copy for your Pocket PC processor (MIPS, ARM & SH3) on our
MAME for PocketPC page.
