Android Core MAME 0.78 Crash

RetroArch Android devices
#1

In Android MAME 0.78 is available for download in the integrated Updater. But that version crashes whenever you try to load a rom.

Using this archived version of the core of MAME 0.78 works correctly: http://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/archive/stable/android/armebi-v7a/1.0.0.2/cores/mame078_libretro_android.so.zip This version only crashes on some games if you enable the rewind before load a rom, works ok if enable the rewind when game is running.

I think it would be interesting to fix the integrated Updater version, or replace it with the version I linked.

Is it possible to copy this core to unrooted phone ?

I copied a working version of RA from a rooted device, then copy this version to another none rooted device (GS5) and mame 078 still doesn’t work…

I copy the core to a writable folder in the GS5…

What is the official status of the mame cores ?

I am now afraid to update and to make failure on more android devices…

#4

I just noticed that after I chose the mame core it is displaying 1.22 NO CORE on the bottom…

#5

Tested again with 16.09.15 version, nothing changed…

#6

It may not be wanting to run the dynamic library from there. We’d need a logcat to know more.

#7

How can I save this log file ?

#8

you’ll need to use an external program. There are many free options on the Play store. I’ve had good luck with .logcat (dot-logcat).

#9

Is it NOT working only on my device ?

All the other people are without this problem ?

#10

I can confirm this too. MAME2003 crashes on roms it used to run perfecly before.

#11

MAME 2003 and 2014 crashes instantly for me in the nightlys, but I am using the correct romset and the git MAME doesnt load roms it loaded before, anyone knows why? using android 4.2.2 on an Archos Gamepad 2.

#12

the same happens to me with ScummVm and P-uae cores doesn’t load in 4.1 Jelly Bean Achos Gamepad (No Core)

#13

Radius said in another thread it was a toolchain issue thats why MAME 2003 and 2014 only work on lolipop, maybe thats why the other cores are not working? Hope it gets fixed.

#14

MAME 2010 and 2014 no longer appear in the online updater for android, anyone knows why?

#15

2010 never built successfully for android. 2014 is not building atm not sure why

Hi any news on this? MAME 2014 is still not available in the online updater.

#19

MAME git is too slow for android, MAME 2014 apparently is still not building.

#20

Mame 2003(0.78) is crashing but only after the legal prompt.(tried galaga88 and spcinv95 “space invaders 95”)

This core works on ios for spcinv95.
