Is MAME going downhill?
jennifer:
On this bike, Are the controls correct? Does it even have handlebars?, Maybe it was just simpler for the Dev. to put a joystick on this bike.
Going uphill?.... Oh what a huge waste of time brakes would be. Mame still blows!

Why? Are you writing a dissertation on it? What's it matter to you where it's going?

Nice to notice. I am writing my dissertation on emulation. :cheers:

What is the metaphorical bike in this struggle? Why can't we get to the top of the mountain? And who is peddling that bike? And why, for Pete's sake are we peddling the bike when we could just jump off and walk it up the hill? How many speeds are on this bike? Is our clothing aerodynamic enough? This is a big deal, you ever see bikers, even casual weekend warrior ones, it appears that aerodynamic clothing is a big deal. So maybe the RIGHT question we should be asking is, how can we get MAME into more aerodynamic clothes?

Nice comment, but uphill was the first 10 years of Mame, as all the hard stuff has been done, the next 10 is all down hill.

I personally like to think mame is not on a bike, but rather on a trail...to Oregon. Does mame have enough oxen to make it's journey? Perhaps mame will make it to Oregon, but of course mame may also just die of dysentery. Should mame caulk it's wagon and float it, or should it attempt to ford the river? Does mame have enough food, because mame can only take 100 pounds of meat back with it each hunt. The journey is perilous with meager rations, set at a grueling pace -- especially if mame does not stop at Independence Rock. But lo! The reward is great! That is at least if Mame did not choose banker as it's occupation, as there is no point modifier for choosing banker and mame's final score will end up sucking no matter how well it did.

Maybe MAME has made it to Oregon, and realized that the journey wasn't worth it. It spent all this time and effort getting there, ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, little johnny DIED on the way there, and for what? To be stuck in ---smurfing--- OREGON! So Mame got on its bike and started going uphill.... in honor of Johnny... in order to find some way, any way, to get the hell out of Oregon....
You know what is neat about this forum? We solve problems and answer questions. I remember the last post of this kind that went for 15 pages. It was called "The State of MAME". We went 15 pages and couldn't resolve anything. Now we know what state Mame is. Its Oregon.
