2 people is hardly the same as several.  ::)

And, yep, I was deliberately insulting him, the same way that we have insulted each other for years now.

And, nope, I don't give a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- if it is OK with you or not.

Edit - seriously, I can't focus well enough to clean up this thread right now. Chill please?

I think I'll take this advice and let Saint enjoy his meds.  Pushing this further helps no one.

That's new Haze/MAME, old Haze was very different.

Haze, June 03, 2005: - "And no, we don't care about popularity, I don't think anybody on the dev team would care if everybody started using vantage to play their games, or raine, or anything else providing they left us alone to develop." - "...MAMEs popularity is a large problem."

Dogmatically insist that MAME must be kept pure in some arbitrary way.

Hehee, that describes it, however "documenting the hardware" is apperantly not what they're after anymore. Current documentation says 720 uses 'analog joystick', which is false, and you see they obviously do not care.

Playing it on a PC is no more side-effect, it became intention and priority, which compromises their legal position, but to also *un-document* authentic controller in the same time shows they are not even preserving/emulating anymore, it is more correctly described as PORTING/CONVERTING games to PC. It's all up side down. It is users who now want accurate documentation while developers are hacking playability out of "modern hardware".

I see two groups of people, both disagree with Haze and supposed current view of MAME team, including you, but one group approves and the other disproves. -- To disprove what you do not agree with is 'honest feedback', but to (passively) approve what you do not agree with out of some (prior) gratefulness, or whatever, is not really in anyone's interest, as they will hardly get back on track if they are not aware they went astray.


Do you believe/approve with this same blind fate/passivity everything your government is doing as well(?) To be a "patriot" is one thing, but if your empire strikes back at innocent people and destroys planets, then being a patriot does not make you a good guy or on the right side anymore. Sometimes the right thing to do is to raise a rebellion, defeat Darth Vader and throw Emperor down the shaft. -- Don't be such a stormtrooper!

Dude... The shark is thoroughly jumped now. The empire is safe. Princess Leia has been rescued.
