    I just tried Slider, ABN, Remote Files, Gridlee and iDOS on my iPad 4, and they all work perfectly. :D

    So far the only emulator not working is EMU4iOS, but I haven't tried redownloading yet.

    Did anybody succeed to run 'king of dragons'?
    All the roms I have found seems to be not working.
    All I am getting is an error message w/ missing rom or chd files.

    Since a couple of days, Gridlee always crashes.

    I open on it it and it close one second later.

    I uninstall it and reinstall it (with I-funbox) and this make it work the first time, but this strategy dont work anymore.

    Please note that when I browse Gridlee folder with I-funbox, I observed the installation is incomplete. For example, the documents folder is empty. The roms folder is missing and many other files like gridlee57.png

    BTW, my Ipad is not jailbroken.

    Anyone else have the same problem?

    Any solutions?

    If this is not the right place to get support. Would you please tell me where Ican expose my problem and mayge get a solution?

    Thank you

    Newp. Just played around with a couple of games for about seven minutes and didn't experience any issues, and like you I'm using a 4th-gen iPad.

    I'm so excited as I've recently seen footage of all the Mortal Kombats running smooth as silk on a 5s and my upgrade is due in a few weeks! Have ordered both an icade 8bitty and also an iMpulse controller as I'll keep the 8Bitty in my work bag and use the iMpulse when I'm out and about, has anyone here had experience with either of these? I see the iMpulse is supported in Gridlee but as it only has 6 buttons I was just wandering which keys were used for inserting coins and starting games and such and what peoples general impressions were of both controllers?

    MK run nice on iP5 too. Btw I was in contact with Seluco (gridlee dev) he said he will build a 64-bit app once he gets an iPad 5. So expect better optimisation + more features. Only downside is, I don't think he'll pull another "gridlee stunt" :) you'll prolly need to jailbreak to get your hands on the latest mame4ios build.

    Yes I've seen footage of them running on the iPhone 5 as well and it's impressive stuff, also saw that Seleuco had commented on a YouTube video of Killer Instinct running on a 5s saying that he's gonna optimise the emu for 64 bit architecture just as soon as he gets an iPad 5, exciting times ahead :)

    That video is my friends :) I asked him to upload it. Because only him and a bunch of others have a working copy of Killer Instinct arcade working for mame4ios.

    Ive been searching everywhere for the CHD but no luck as of yet! A guy who calls himself Kane Ressurected said he'd Dropbox the working CHD to anyone who wanted it but I can't find the video that he left the comment on any more :(, the search continues...

    Will be interesting to see how much better games like DOA+ and Soul Calibur play on the new iPad Air. GPU does not matter with MAME, but CPU does.

    Oh come on! Folks must not be true old school arcade gamers here not to have already posted. Either that or no Air yet. Probably the latter.

    So, this is what you've been asking for, on the ipad 4 tekken tag was running around 50% with the air it's around 80ish% now. I imagine next ipad will bring it to 100%. Also tried strider 2 which used to not run at full speed but now it does. Also tried jojo, it needs speed hack but it'll run at 100%. Just to clarify when I say full speed or 100% I have frame skip turned off so it is really full speed. I do not have doa or sc, if you want to talk about those two you can pm me.

    With the increase in speed I can't wait for this to be jailbroken so I can see how well ppsspp runs.

    Now onto the bad news, with the air, using the device in portrait (vertical) makes the UI a little glitchy. Lay out A makes the stick look zoomed in. I'd attach screenshots but I don't know how. Similarly, the air also breaks real racing 3 as I posted in that thread, the actual game screen is only 1/4 of the screen.

    So anyways gridlee is the best thing we got while not jailbroken but once it is, best to grab the real mame.

    Don't forget seluco will build mame for 64-bit processor, he mentioned he will get the iPad 5... Which turned out to be he air. Just need a JB now! As for SC... I may have it. But need to find it.

    Actually turns out I do have soul caliber, it runs around 70% most of the time. Street fighter ex 2 runs 100%. And the UI glitches I mentioned above are most likely ios 7 related since my ipad 4 has similar issues.

    I wonder what kind of benefit mame running in 64 bit would be.

    Better optimisation/stability I suspect, for games that only run 50-80% without speed hacks.

    You can get SC in the appstore, much better optimisation.

    Oh right, I forgot I own the soul caliber HD app. Deleted it since no multi. Hope we get that rumored soul caliber 2 port
