note: Please feel free to post any additional comments or correct and mistakes. I am "rating" CE compatible games just for fun!
I will try to keep this & my notes here current and accurate. I have listed rom names for convenience. I will also post a "reversed" list, with Rom names in alphabetical order, since this is how they appear on the hard drive or in the actual Roms folder in Mame.

Notes: Running MegaMameCE3 9.5 Tested on Dell Axim X3i/400 running MS Pocket PC 2003 version 4.20 and MegaMame and Roms from a 256MB SanDisk SmartCard Storage card. I do not have any Roms, please do not ask me for them. There is a know problem with Keymapping saves (Reconfigure Game Keys). If you reconfigure, MAME CE3 does not "remember" the settings automatically. It does, however store the settings. After you have created a preferred keymap the first time you run MAMECE, every time you run MAMECE again you will have to select the "Reconfigure Game Keys" option, and select "Save Changes". It's not as bad as it sounds, it's just a quick keystroke to do this. The more ROMS you have, the longer it will take to load MegaMameCE3. MegaMAME CE3 likes to crash (freeze and lock up) a lot. I can play for about 10-20 minutes, then I have to perform a soft reset (reboot) of my Pocket PC. Some games will completely crash my Dell Axim and force a soft reset and power off my backlight! Pocket PC's use a 240x320 screen resolution, which is great for "upright" and verticaly oriented games. When playing horizontal oriented games, I often get a system crash, due to an incompatible screen resolution. I may experiment with NYDITOT Virtual Display in the future. All of these use old (required) MAME ver. 36 Roms and Sound Samples. Sound is underdeveloped, but often working. Even though Mame version 0.36 supports large Roms (+1 MB), it is unlikely anything that large will play properly, if at all. The largest Roms I have seen working are Arkanoid 2 (307k), Rolling Thunder (324k), and World Cup 90 (374k). I do not know if this is a CPU, size, or resolution issue. I am also running Mame32Plus 0.81 on P4 2.4 Gz Dell with Hanaho Hotrod SE controller & WinXP Home. I am also running Mac Mame 0.77u2 G4/1 Gz PowerMac OSX.
Stuff To Do: Create disabled roms folder (move on Pocket PC?) Test with MameCE3 (not MegaMame)
