Nuked before it went to P&R.

My post got nuked too.  :-\

Well, you're the boss, Saint. Do what you got to do, I respect your call. IMHO, it wasn't any more P&R than the Merry Christmas thread, and it wasn't mean spirited (like this thread has been earlier). But I'm sure P&R flame wars have started from much less.

I'll try to keep my posts "nuke-free" in the future.  :angel: Call it my BYOAC Forum New Year Resolution.

Promoting one's holidays and traditions is/was fine :) Insulting another's holiday/traditions made it P&R material. You were fine Vigo, it just didn't make sense to pull one post and not the following replies.

OK, Understood! I don't like stepping on toes, so I'm glad I wasn't guilty of that.  :)

Well, back on topic. I think MAME may be hitting a wall right now, and should refocus away from preservation to rom playability, simply to refuel general interest. MAME has preserved thousands and thousands of games, and everyone here is thankful. As with more modern games, which don't have the same degree of preservation issues, I would be fine with any hacks fixes or modifications to just get them working for the average user on your average computer, even if that means that it could be more work fixing them up correctly in the future. It think there is at least a general impression that MAME has not done much, because no headway has happened on a number of popular titles. From a purist standpoint, I am not saying that obscure games don't deserve to be worked on, but if your focus is geared on giving the users what they want right now (to be able to play these games), I think you will have more general interest from the users in improving MAME.

When the chips are down, this is about MAME's survival. I think it should compromise it's focus for the time being to keep itself alive as a whole. It would be a shame for the project to die out when it has so much value.

I am just now getting around to reading this thread, and so I missed out on the part that got nuked.
Since I started a "Merry Christmas" thread, and I take it that is the one you are talking about, id just like to say that I didnt mean to step on anybody's toes or hurt anyone's feelings by starting that thread, and if I did, I sincerely apologize.
And to quote Forrest Gump, "Thats all I got to say about that."
