    iMAME on my new iCade is extremely awesome. Worth buying an iCade just for this app!

    Really?? Have you actually played it for more than a couple of minutes?
    What are your settings?
    What device are you running this on?

    Thanks

    Both versions crash to homescreen on my device ip4 after about 30 secs
    If you let the old vers run in demo mode it does the same without doing anything!

    PROBLEM!

    I've downloaded Esp Ra.De. and thrown it onto iMAME, but when I start it up everything is upside down. I'd be sort of ok with that, but a screen saying imput check, configuration and sound check pops up. A screen after that has an imput check which I can't seem to get off of and continue to the game.

    I've fixed the porblems with Dangun Feveron but I've got no clue how to fix Esp Ra.De.
    I know it may or may not have been mentioned, so sorry if it has.

    Can anyone briefly or descriptively tell me how to fix this? It would be much appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I have exactly this problem. I know I have a working rom, but I cannot get past that bloody screen. It's just this game too. Dodo and every other "problem" game work fine, right way up and everything. I'm on iPhone 4, latest os btw.

    The developers of this app clearly had the iPad and iCade in mind, because it's perfectly customized to work with both of them together. Amazing!

    If you have a working dodonpachi ram file copy it rename it to whatever esp ra de has to be and throw it in s it uses that as the ram file. Open esp ra de and your all set. no screen flip or menu.

    No panic i have a fix. Or 2 try this first. Start the rom when the config screen appears hold BOTH B and X together to get out and start the game. Let me know

    SCRATCH THAT DO THIS. Load rom. Press coin and start for service menu>input this game>CHANGE SERVICE MODE FROM THE F KEY TO SOMETHING YOU WONT USE IN THE GAME LIKE A SPARE BUTTON(i used the coin button as it wont effect play and u never need to HOLD that button down anyway) exit back to the config screen then hold the button you assigned. It WILL exit the config. Enjoy

    You're the man, thank you very much!

    One last question, will this work with all other cave games?

    Really?! Ideal?!
    I'm not faulting imame in any way,it's as good as it gets on a touch screen.
    But these games were not made for touch screens.
    There's just not the precision needed for shmups,at least not for me.
    The cave iOS games play much more fluidly,as you would expect.
    I'm loving imame,but touch screen joysticks still have limitations compared to the original controllers.
    It's not a criticism,just part of touch screen gaming.

    Actually there is a way to play altered beast, My guess is it loads fine for you and kinda crashes as soon as you punch or kick the first enemies on screen? (you can still control everything after but nothing seems to progress and the graphics glitch?) to play you must avoid punching or kicking any of the first type of enemy (the headless ones) and simply walk into them making them explode, you can kill all other enemy types but not a single one of the first type of enemy that appears on screen, after this the game will progress as normal, you will get this enemy type on every level I think so it's important to pay attention, just keep walking into them, making them explode and kill all others as normal, using this method I've played the game through to completion, it's not perfect but it does work.

    yes i kinda agree there. you can go to the options menu and set 'Touch Type' to 'Digital' and then set 'Digital Touch DZ' to 'Off'.

    it seems to feel a little better that way to me but of course ymmv.

    Thanks! I just picked one up at my local Bed Bath for $43 using a 20% off coupon. My store (Buena Park) has a bunch of them on clearance.
    Well worth the $$.

    Am I the only one longing for WWF Superstars and WWF Royal Rumble? Do these exist in functioning form? Is there any hope through nvram updates of them eventually working? I had then on macMAME, but now I have an iCade!!!!

    Most every rom works great. Thing ismyou must use 0.37b5 format roms. Else you'll get a list of missing file errors.

    I'm so thrilled i got this, it was the only reason Imwas gonna jb
