What does it take to actually add to the list of games that MameCE can handle??? I have Load Runner and want to see it on the little screen too!

If the certain game is not supported, you would have to download the program source, make the appropriate changes, and compile your own version.

Either that, or start begging Techmaster to do it :)

Btw, Lode Runner is not supported?

What changes are typical to implement a game? What is the process? Once I know this I can ask questions which are less stupid.

Will MameCE eventually handle all the games that Mame32 can or will it have a limited scope?

Thanks for the info!

Duh! I didn't see MegaMAMECE! It includes Lode Runner. Ok now that I tried it, it has a problem rotating the screen. Instead of rotating 90 degrees right or left (on a Jornada) it rotates a full 180. In normal non-rotated mode the sides are clipped:(

I also noticed that MegaMameCE plays Gravitar!!!

Changes require enabling options in the source file, then enabling them in the compiler, then compiling the exe. Then testing to see if the game will run.

I hope to one day have the same compatibility as MAME and MAME32. I suspect most of the larger/newer games will not be avialable until the next gen CPUs arrive. 400Mhz core speed is really needed to compensate for the lack of other hardware in a PocketPC, iePocketPCs don't have Video accelerators.
