Heh. Looks like a neat device :-)
Reminds me of the people hacking iOpeners a while back.
Are you *sure* it's CE2.12? (Start|Settings|System) I've never heard of 2.12, only 2.11. Mine Casio E-100 says "Version 2.11 (Build 9015)" what does the ePod say?

In any case, I don't think you'll have any luck getting MAMECE3 to run on it, as it is for CE3.0. Your best bet would likely be the original MAMECE here: http://www.vintagegaming.com/hosted/mamece/
However, I'm still doubtful it will work. You see, MAMECE tries to use method of direct access to the video memory (because it's much faster) however, not all devices are capable of this DSA. In addition, quite a few things in MAMECE (esp in my E-100 build :) are 'hard-coded' for 240x320 screens.

The degree of sucess you have using any given CE app on your device depends largely on how much effort the developer spent to 'generalize' his app to run on varied hardware. Also, any program which uses GameX (the CE2.11 predecessor of the CE3.0 GAPI) is unlikely to work on it.

That said; I would guess it is possible to get MAME running on an ePod, but I'd say it will take someone compiling a version specificially for it. And, if it is to play at an acceptable speed, figure out how to directly access the video memory.

Good luck.
