MAME (response from dev)

[watson387]

I got in touch with the developer, and he seems willing to port MAME to the Ouya if he had his own unit!!!

Tell him to stop being a whiner and buy one.

Haha!

Well to be honest, he sounds like he's a hobbyist just doing his thing, with not a lot of money to spend, and he's been more than willing to work with people / companies that have sent him a unit.

So... I'm going to do so. If yawl would like to reimburse me, that's fine, if not... well that's fine too. One thing he would like to know is what we would like to see in the port. I told him these things.. if you can think of more, please feel free to contribute!!


- Multiplayer support (as it is right now, every controller linked to the Ouya acts as controller one, so multiplayer games are impossible)
- Additional controller support (support for PS3, 360 and Wii controllers would be awesome)
- Overscan support (most if not all the games do not fit on a flatscreen display properly)

Oh and straight from the developers fingertips...

I'm going to add netplay support and a filter game system in next major version, so I'm going to have some work in the next weeks

@Cornelius: Actually multiplayer works fine for me on Mame4all Reloaded 1.33 (with auto detect controllers on)

I would like to see a search function on the Ouya port, possibly with keyboard support.

Controller mapping that uses the OUYA controller face buttons as the basis, and default L2 or R2 support for Insert Coin.

[Ripcord]

It has some problems with R1 and L1, would love to see that fixed. And keyboard mappings are iffy.

Not map L3 to anything by default, my wife constantly hits it and I do occasionally depending on the game


Cornelius, where should I send money?

Dear guy,

There's this thing we really want you to do. We want you to do it for free, and on your own time. You will have to spend money to implement this for us. Quit whining and do it.

Love,
People with no social skills.

As far as where to send monies: I'm going to go this weekend and get the Ouya locally then ship it via USPS International Mail. Once I do all that, I'll set up a link for contributions.

I'm very excited!!

I can only hope you were joking, since Ouya users asking for his time and effort. Not the other way around. In this case, he would be the "whinee".

[dcninja123]

mame is the only emulator that's doable right now not on ouya, someone should pick up the ball, I would but like so many of os, i don't know how.

[Ripcord]

What are you talking about?

Edit: Read again, I guess it makes slightly more sense.

IMO the biggest problem with the latest Mame is that there's not a version in the Ouya store, and I guess maybe that's what you meant. It needs some work but I expect that to be done.

I agree it'd be great if more people had the time/expertise/motivation to work on this. But all of the Android and iOS ports were done by ONE GUY, and he's expressed interest in working on a nice Ouya version, and seems eager and responsive. So it's probably just a matter of time. And the sooner we help him help us, the better.

Anyone hear anything else about this?
