mGalaxy v2.1, the frontend for MAME, was released this week.  mGalaxy is known for being great for navigating with arcade panels and game pads (although keyboards work fine as well). We’ve found it to be particularly nice for a media center – the graphics are smooth and easy to read, and control is great via a game pad and remote. Version 2 of the software features a complete rewrite that’s faster than the original and includes lots of new features. The lastes update, v2.1, addes additional features and fixes.

A new NeoGeo emulator has hit the Android market this week – NEO.emu.  NEO.emu is a pretty high-quality emulator by Robert Broglia.
