Any emulators that I'm missing that people use?

--EDIT:

Now 27 emulators supported... PPSSPP added to the list.

How about MAME4droid (0.139u1) ?

I, too am looking (hoping) for mame4droid support. I have scoured the Web to no avail.... Please, please, please let's add mame4droid to the list of supported emulators.

Hello guys. I was wondering, does anybody use RCB and Neo.emu? I would like to launch the games directly from RCB but when I try it start only the home window of the emulator. Any idea? Thanks.

Hi how can I add the emulator UAE4Droid into Rom Collection browser on my android box? If I click to add an Amiga rom collection to it nothing happens and no choice to choose that emulator I downloaded from the play store.

Hello! Is it possible to use the Next 3D Android launcher instead of the one you've mentioned i.e. Advanced launcher?

Hello,
I,m also still searching for the right string parameter to load roms to it.
Try this

Amiga UAE4droid
am start --user 0 -n org.ab.uae/.StartActivity -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER -e v "%rom%"

You need to edit config.xml (AND DONT FORGET TO REMOVE am FROM BEGINNING)

Bit of a thread resurrection but thought this might help someone as i couldnt see it anywhere.

to use mame4droid with AEL the below argument seems to work (i use shield TV)

start --user 0 -n com.seleuco.mame4droid/com.seleuco.mame4droid.MAME4droid -a android.intent.action.VIEW -eu Uri "file://%rom%"

Can anyone help me get this going on my NVidia Shield with RetroARCH? I tried following Allan Lindqvist's guide here:
http://lindqvist.synology.me/wordpress/

And I'm sure I set everything up right in Kodi/SPMC, but whenever I try and launch any game I just get a black screen before being booted back to Kodi. I used his xml so all my launchers look like this

<launcher>
<id>psx</id>
<name>Sony Playstation</name>
<category>emulators</category>
<application>/system/bin/am</application>
<args>start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER -e ROM "%rom%" -e LIBRETRO /data/data/com.retroarch/cores/pcsx_rearmed_libretro_android.so -e CONFIGFILE /sdcard/Android/data/com.retroarch/files/retroarch.cfg -e IME com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME -e REFRESH 60 -n com.retroarch/.browser.retroactivity.RetroActivityFuture</args>
<rompath>/sdcard/Roms/PSX/</rompath>
<thumbpath>/sdcard/Roms/PSX/</thumbpath>
<fanartpath>/sdcard/Roms/PSX/</fanartpath>
<trailerpath></trailerpath>
<custompath></custompath>
<romext>pbp|cue|ccd</romext>
<platform>Playstation</platform>
<thumb></thumb>
<fanart></fanart>
<genre></genre>
<release></release>
<publisher></publisher>
<launcherplot></launcherplot>
<finished>false</finished>
<minimize>false</minimize>
<lnk></lnk>
<roms>
</roms>

And yeah I've already tried changing the arguments like that in the OP.

EDIT: I think I'm just going to ditch Retroarch for the most part and go with individual emulators. Seems to work better for me..

Hi,

Has anyone managed to get Uae4arm working?

I have figured out how to get it to launch using

Code:
start --user 0 -n atua.anddev.uae4arm/atua.anddev.uae4arm.MainActivity -a android.intent.action.VIEW -e v "%rom%"

but I cannot get it to accept the command line paramter to select a specific config (which will launch the game). The command line parameter is "-f configfile" or "-config=" which is where I am struggling the most

Thanks
