iMame hit the app store last night and the general opinion is it won't last long before it's removed.. best download it quick while you can.

got it. not many games for it though.

Si. · 22 Dec 2011 at 08:53

You can add as many ROMS to it as you like.

Cool - doesn't say if it's iCade / iArcade, or whatever it is called, compatible. Killer combination if so

GJ02 · 22 Dec 2011 at 09:13

yeah got it this morning

Jimz · 22 Dec 2011 at 09:43

How do you add games

Somnambulist · 22 Dec 2011 at 10:31

Need to use iExplorer to drop ROMs in. It's a REALLY old version of MAME though, so quite a lot of games aren't compatible apparently.

MikeHunt79 · 22 Dec 2011 at 13:52

Got it, thanks.

Out of interest, why would this be pulled?

Si. · 22 Dec 2011 at 14:30

I think it will be down to the legality of any ROMS

Pants games!

ScoobyDoo · 22 Dec 2011 at 14:48

Anyone got a list of roms they've added themselves that are working on this?

There's a picture on macrumors with a iPad running this app whilst attached to a iCade device.

which folder does the roms need to go into? I placed them in a folder with a load of zip files and just tried rescan and its the same list of lame games.

ScoobyDoo · 22 Dec 2011 at 17:23

They go into the documents folder within the imame directory.
Some of the ROMS ive put in there dont show up but others do.
I think its down to the structure of the zip.

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 22 Dec 2011 at 17:56

can't do it then with a 4S?

I see.

It doesn't include iTunes file sharing however, so there's no 'official' way of adding roms unless you're jailbroken or use iphone explorer.

This may mean that it may not get pulled, but don't quote me on that.

Somnambulist · 22 Dec 2011 at 19:33

As said, a lot of games don't work because it's apparently an ancient version of MAME and lots of ROMs being much newer, aren't supported.

hope you all got it in time
apple just pulled it, as expected
