Arcade Machines

Arcade Machines Emulation

There are a few Arcade Machine Emulators available for the Pandora, each with different advantages and disadvantages.

Final Burn Alpha
Emulator: Final Burn Alpha
Maintainer: Dave18



Originally released for CPS-Hardware, FBA now supports a wide range of arcade games.
The Pandora-Version plays more advanced games than MAME4ALL, but also features some hardware optimizations.

Even more modern games like Street Fighter III run fullspeed.
Very recommended!


MAME4ALL
Emulator: MAME4ALL
Maintainer: SteveM

MAME4ALL is a highly optimized ARM-port of MAME0.37b5, started by Franxis back in the good old days of the GP32.
Thanks to this optimization, it runs almost any supported game with ease.
As it's based on an older MAME version, it mostly supports older Arcade Machines.
So if you're looking to play classic Arcade Machines, this is one is an absolute must-have for you.


PanMAME
Emulator: PanMAME
Maintainer: mcobit

PanMAME is a port of AdvancedMAME v0.106 including the frontend AdvancedMenu.
It probably has the nicest frontend of all the emulators listed here, supporting preview screenshots and filtering.

It's not very optimized though, so while it runs more games than FBA or MAME4ALL, the performance is slower.
Still, it runs a lot of games fullspeed and supports quite a lot of them.

As it is based on a more recent MAME version, it supports a lot more games than MAME4ALL as well.

There's also MAME (also based on 0.106) and MAMEEX (based on 0.110) available, but those don't offer much compared to PanMAME.



Compo4All MAME

System: Arcade games
Emulator: Compo4All at the Repo
Maintainer: Skeezix

Compo4All is a port of MAME (derived from PanMAME above) with online multiplayer scoring; games are not played head to head, but scores are tallied in the same online table against other C4A players!
