Android, boot into a single mame(or other) game?
« on: February 08, 2015, 05:23:18 pm »
Hi all

Well, title says it all. I know that I can boot an Android device directly into a program, but how about
booting into mame -> rom? (or other emulator -> game). That would be very handy for single-game
cabinets.

Sort of like frontends do for PC mame.

Thanks!
