Vacation is over, and unfortunately I have not made any progress in creating a Android port for MAME. My search continues though and I'll continue to campaign for the cause. I'm thinking of starting a collection to give out a reward to the first developer that is successful, but I'll have to check with the MAME guys first.
Dropping out of that C programming course is coming back to bite me in the ass. Who knew? At work, everyone thinks I'm a computer expert, but I feel like such an idiot when it comes to this stuff. And I kinda liked the Android OS before I found out MAME wasn't ported and why. I had high hopes knowing Android was derived from Linux, but instead Google puts the user in a bubble, the so called Dalvik virtual machine.
That's messed up if you think about it. Like using WinXp running virtually on a Win7 PC to run ALL your programs, and being locked out of doing anything at the Win7 level. Well, not really locked out, as some could rewrite the Android code...
But I digress.
Time for some fun. I think some MAME gameplay videos are in order. We must show the people why we want a port!
