Grasshoppers idea has merit. The dude is shooting himself in the foot by going berserk on this forum. He is self-fulfilling the idea of being censored by ensuring his posts get canned. give him a space in P & R only to let vent. But just one thread for starters. He probably had some good points, but I couldn't read through all that crazy talk. I mean, if the complaint is about the 720 controls or whatever, I would be inclined to agree. But it's all free ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- so why get worked up about it? Just start work on your own 720 emulator if you have teh mad skillz...

Howard_Casto:
Just for the record, the mame devs, Giles in particular, are more than reasonable.  I've asked to have controls implemented differently and some other pretty outlandish things over the years and so long as I could give a valid reason for adding them, they were added.  

Also the nice thing about mame is it's open-source.  If you want to add something that the mame devs won't allow  do it!  You can maintain your own custom build for your own use or release it to the public.  

Long story short, behavior aside, the poor guy doesn't have a leg to stand on anyway so nobody need come to his "rescue" by giving him the benefit of the doubt.  

RayB:
No kidding huh? He could just release "Driver-MAME" and then over time if it's popular, they'll merge it in.

This guy must have some sort of mental issues, Aspergers or something, to be so obsessed over this.

yotsuya:
Saint doesn't need to give him a space in ANY forum. There are rules and he chose not to follow them.

He's a drama queen. He likes the attention. Look at any other board he's been linked to! He goes there, claims he has a revolutionary software fix, and when he's told why he's wrong, he starts playing the role of tortured, misunderstood artist/programmer. Next week he'll probably go try to tell Apple he's got a software fix to ensure the iPhone always gets 5 bars.

Howard_Casto:
Just to add some of those details that Saint left out.... here is a snippet from the latest what's new of mame:


--- Quote ---720 - added Driver Configuration option to allow the controls to be
set to Real 720 Controller Input; fake joystick; or fake spinner. It
defaults to fake spinner for mouse/spinner use. [Derrick Renaud]

Changed the Analog Controls menu to only list controls selected in the
Driver Configuration. [Derrick Renaud]

As 720 enthusiasts know, 720's controls have been kinda wonky in mame for ages.  This new addition to mame will allow purists to have the dual-spinner inputs that 720 originally used while people with more generic setups have their pick of either digital or analog controls.

On a personal note I don't know how in the world anyone could take fault in a driver change that gives everyone what they wanted, but I thought I would post just so people would better understand what the complaint was.
