Insert coin before selecting game? This possible?
Hoopz:
Yes, we're against it. And for your information, Haze is a long time contributor and member of the Mame team. So, you aren't just talking to some end user but one of the key contributors to the program. When he says that it's a not acceptable, believe him.
Manre Boo:
Ok thanks for answering. But still you can only answer for your part, not for others.
And emulation is more than mame. You know what about people hooking NES or C64 inside cab?
I know now that I am in forum thats strongly loyal and biased to mame. Its basically ok, but it also removes free discussion and development. That is pretty sad for community.

Nolan Bushnell saw Ralph Baer's ping pong game at a tradeshow. Later, Atari settled with Magnavox over it.
The PONG prototype was installed at Andy Capp's tavern and broke down shortly after being installed. It was overflowing with quarters.
I was going to post a link to a couple of videos, but they seem to have been taken down from ArcArc.

I think that we are having a language problem, because you REALLY don't understand what is being said.
The question that was asked was specifically about MAME, which is why we are talking about MAME. :banghead:
Yes, we know about emulating consoles. ::)
Firebat138:
yup... that's it... just looked it up... I had a cool idea years back where millions of people could play an online game where you could be any character you want, go up in level and etc... But I doubt it will ever take off... :-)
