Hi,

One of the things I've been messing around with using sweetlilmre's SDL port is Chui's mame4all port of Franxis' excellent MAME GP2X. So it's kind of ready to release to people (although sound is broken in exactly the same way as on uae4all)... I said I'd leave it for Otaku, but he's got a lot of stuff to do, and there didn't seem much point not releasing it since I think it's ready for prime-time.

If you like this, please donate to either Franxis or Chui via their paypal buttons, as I think they deserve your support.

The readme.txt for the Gizmondo release is included below.

The distribution zip is attached.

mame4all gizmondo 0.1.0
-----------------------

This is a Gizmondo port of Chui's MAME4ALL port of Franxis' MAME GP2X
port which is a port of MAME 0.34 by Nicola Salmoria. The MAME
license is at the end of the readme.txt document included with this release.

This port is maintained by critical ([email protected]).

This release has broken sound.

This port uses the SDL libraries ported to the Gizmondo by sweetlilmre.

Installation
------------

The roms directory should be placed on your SD card like this:

SD Card Root
!
!--- mame4all
!
!----- roms

If using firefly's launcher, it's best to put mame4all.exe and the supplied dlls
into the mame4all directory, otherwise you could try putting them in the root of your SD card,
but I haven't tested that and it might not work.

Put your MAME 0.34 roms (zipped, as for any other MAME) in the mame4all\roms directory.

Controls
--------

At the main menu, use up and down to select a game, then PLAY to move to the options screen.
Press HOME to exit MAME at this point.

At the options screen, press PLAY to PLAY the game.

Whilst playing, return to the menu by pressing HOME.

Whilst playing, press * to add coins.
Whilst playing, press STOP to start the game.
Whilst playing, PLAY is button A, FFWD is button B.

Issues
------

Sound is broken.
Buttons aren't optimal yet.
