FAQs and Common Questions
No! Unlike other consoles, MAME emulators require the ROMs to remain exactly as they are in their original .zip format. Do not extract them, just point your emulator to the folder containing the zip files.
Certain arcade games (like The King of Fighters or Metal Slug) run on the NeoGeo arcade board. To play them, you must download the neogeo.zip BIOS file and place it in the exact same folder as your game ROMs. Do not extract the BIOS.
Absolutely! MAME4droid and RetroArch fully support Bluetooth gamepads (like PS4, PS5, Xbox, or generic controllers). You can even map the "Insert Coin" and "Start" buttons to your shoulder buttons.
