As i said, this is the latest version of MAME (0.135uX). ROMs intended for 0.35 from years ago are really not likely to work properly with it.

bmouring: sounds like it's probably a problem with the compiler optimizations then. Don't sweat testing with another ROM; i'll push the unoptimized package to the autobuilder when i get back to my dev box on Christmas. Then test.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

An update on SDLMAME: i'm getting the "Bad instruction" error, even with the unoptimized binary, so the upstream source isn't ready for armel yet. I feel a lot of packing of structs and aligning of arrays coming on...

Sorry- had MAME4ALL stuck in my brain. I am used to 34b/35 romsets being the files ran on portables. I have 135 too, but the set is HUGE. 20gb plus huge. Of course, a lot of those are hard drive games or games like Dead or Alive that run slow on Atom netbook cpus and mobile core duos. Take up too much space as well (HD games do).

No problem though, since MAME can be sorted by CPU and you can then pick out games that should work fine. Neo Geo also plays smooth with sound on the DS, Droid and PSP, so the N900 should be good for em'.

A lot of great CPS2 and Cave games play very well on Droid and the PSP, so MAME should find a happy home on the N900

How do you access that directory or put roms in it? Do you add the directory in storage mode?

Im not sure if this has been said before, but you can play gba games in full screen by holding ctrl and then enter.

The dev that kindly made the apps (almost all that work on the N900) posts on this forum, but the answer right now at least is "no". The SNES app is the only one that can be key mapped ATM.

It turns out the problem indeed was alignment, but with a twist: it looks like the alignment fixup routine of the kernel isn't able to detect VFP/AdvSIMD instructions.

I have proposed a patch for SDLMAME here:
http://www.bannister.org/forums/ubbt...r=56686&page=5

It probably isn't enough, but I'm now blocked by my n900 that doesn't accept user inputs. I guess I need to understand how SDL and Maemo work together
