Mame Working on the PSP

An anonymous reader writes "The PSP Wiki site has posted a release of Mame the arcade emulator for the Sony PSP, heres an english site with Screenshots of the Emulator in action." I guess I won't need to go to such great lengths to play Pac-Man next time.

I'm pretty sure it can run any mame game.

Per the Fine Article:

"Only works with Omega Fighter at this time. Left and Right on Dpad is OK :)
...
[NOTES]
There is no sound. Any games with a bit-depth not equal to 8 will not work. This emulator has the drivers for: omegaf, darius, nova2001, and vanguard."

So, it looks like CmdrTaco still needs "to go to such great lengths to play Pac-Man next time." (Or he can just put regulara MAME on his notebook.)

All well and good but...

These anonymous readers somehow always fail to mention it still ain't going to run on 1.5 - 1.5.2 yet.

Forget Alpha PSP Mame, PalmMAME works now

If you want a portable MAME machine, grab a Palm (Treo 650 cell phone is what I use) and get PalmMAME:

Works with most games that will fit the small screen and fits into memory. The classics pretty much all work as well as some smaller Neo-Geo games.

I was playing Mortal Kombat 2 the other day rather well on my 400mhzs g3 with Mame .The reason the ps2 can barely play pacman is simply because the ps2 mame is not refined enough , it ran perfectly on the dreamcast which by all accounts had lesser procesing power .
I would say the psp shoudl be able to handle most mame games rather admirably if its programed to the hardware , it does have alot of power beneth the hood(it can do alot more in hardware than the ps2 iirc , not that that would effect 2d games that much though)
