You can even load your own roms without jailbreaking using iExplorer or Phoneview (which is actually why I assume it going to get pulled quickly)

Great find!

Yeah, had about 3 emails from different people over the night saying DOWNLOAD NOW!! ...all scared it was gonna get pulled. So downloaded it bleary eyed this morning :D

Luckily, someone at Apple was drunk on egg nog this week and let that one slip through!… good for us, until they sober up. Having used it a bit over lunch, it runs nicely on my iPod Touch (latest one ...4G?) but yet to try it on my old iPhone 3G.

They also have a ROM compatibility list on the Google code page ...cant help but think they tried to be sly and get this one through Apple by making it look closed with legal games built in?

...and, after over an hour spent on all the major and a few minor sites trying to track down the precise required files and specific names to get even ONE game on the "supported" list working, I once again realize why I have never actually used MAME. Now, if someone snuck in a similar app for console emulation...

Look for the MAME4All sets or the PSP MAME roms.

....Aaaaaand Apple pulled it just in time for christmas. Bah-humbug. I hope everyone downloaded it in time?

Rumor in the street is that iMAME may have been pulled at the request of the official MAME Team.
