--- Quote from: BobA on January 03, 2011, 08:47:43 pm ---I would like to thank all MAME devs and those who have contributed to the project and those who will contribute to the project in the future.  I would have a really boring arcade machine without it.   :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

Ditto.  I haven't been happy with every change made in MAME, but since I am not the one slaving over the code, it really doesn't matter.  Folks may not always like the direction it's traveling in, but IMHO, there's never a legitimate reason to be unappreciative for having been allowed along for the ride.

Well, we can all agree on that (",)

And I'm thankful that pretty much any version of mame is available. I'm a .78 man myself  :cheers:

He couldn't do it when his username was DriverMan, so he probably can't do it now. :P

--- Quote from: spoot on January 04, 2011, 02:58:37 pm ---To be honest I think threads like this help push away contributors be it code, scans, bug reports, etc as after coming home from work does one want to deal with even more back and forth bickering when now they aren't getting paid for it?...I wondered if this is sumthing I wish to spend my free time on. Then I read threads like this and go "smurf it....I'm gunna go play xbox". I wonder if there are others that feel the same?   :dunno

What is there to 'deal' with? No one makes you read the threads. No one makes the devs read the threads. Sounds like a lot of people are feeling like little girls in these cases. Maybe they're feeling like that way at work, too...

Yes no one is forcing me to read the forums.  However, emulation interests me and I enjoy the "side-effect" of playing some of the games so I read these forums.  

While I don't feel like work is making me a little girl.....I do think several people are trying to make me their ---smurfette---.   :laugh2:

Thanks.  I missed picking up on that but it makes sense.

--- Quote ---MAME accurately emulates the PCBs the games ran on to a degree of accuracy deemed appropriate by the developers of the project.  NOT by you.  Next are you're going to tell us we should emulate all the atoms, just to make sure?

So, what if the developers are feeling lazy? Doesnt that contradict what the project is supposed to do? What if I want to become a developer, and just slack off?  :dunno I think Im done with this thread. All I got out of it was Haze contradicting himself,whining a little bit, and porobably wanting some credit for being a developer and a bunch of programming mumbo jumbo that I dont know anything about.
