Arcadeflex - Java port of Mame

Just for fun , a new portable emulator based on mame.

It is based on an old mame version (0.28) but it is capable to run more than 160 games.

Preview of the emu can be found here :

www.arcadeflex.com

and emulator code if someone interest is on :

Help is welcome if anyone's interest

    I always wanted to learn how to code to write or help an emu.
    Then i learned a bit of programming, mostly Java, and now i see how hard is to code an emu...

    Is there any benefit to basing it on ancient MAME code?

    As in, wouldnt it actually be less problematic to use the latest developments with performance patches where applicable and limited driver sets (like only neogeo/cpsX games instead of the whole collection)?

    The benefit of basing on an old MAME code (btw arcadeflex started from 0.01 of mame but 0.28 is the most advanced) is that it's is much easier to read 150 files of code (in 0.01) rather than 1.000.000 lines of code in let's say mame 0.60.

    Starting from scratch of mame and raising 1 version at time (most of the code is repeating anyway) you can understand better how it works , rather than reading a complex 0.141 mame driver.

    Writing a driver for arcadeflex is not that hard. I already provide a convertor , that does conversion of mame c files to mame arcadeflex files , with minimal efford of doing some manually fixes.

    Anyone that want more instructions can send me a message

    wow nice work. its somewhat old the games listed... :P but it's cool to launch them off the browser and have pure M.A.M.E java port running bubble bubble :/

    btw where's the sound for most of the games? :O
