Dedicated machines on ios (emulation)

Post by cpeters »

Hello!

As there is mame4ios: https://github.com/ToddLa/MAME4iOS

emulation of the old dedicated machines is possible on idevices. Has else installed this on his phone/pad? I'm struggling with the general input, as using the touchscreen seems only possible through the means of a "lightgun" as choosen input device but the driver/machine must be configured for it and it is not - so I'm using the (virtual) keyboard which has to be set up first too and it is rather clumsy.

Would there be a better way?

greetings

I'm answering myself - it seems to be a general input related problem. David Valdeita (real name) solved this for android:

So, Brettcomputers under Android run now if the proper rom is provided.
