I'm thinking this community in the thread is resembling salem, Mass. about 300 years ago. Lets here the other side of the story first.

Someone needed to enforce MAME's license (now a trademark as well) and since MAMEdevs never did Foley stepped up to the plate. People weren't happy with it then and they're not happy with MAMEdevs' enforcement, now, either.

Foley had no intentions of being a "standup guy" and enforce anything. Foley went on this rage after Namco busted him for illegally selling their ROM's. Period. Ask Namco.

This thread represents childishness.
First off, I agree that Foley is a slimy weasel. But, at least he backed off
mame. And now mame may be a bit better for it.
One thing that I suggested to Foley in a email long ago, was that instead of trying to attack mame'rs, and mame cab builders.. rather offer them parts and electronics that we could all use to build our own.
At that time, he said something like 'he wasnt into the parts game'. Maybe he has realized the possibilities.. and had a change of mind.
Either way, --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules-- or not... if someone has a piece of hardware that can do what I need and or want it to do... I will buy it.
It looks like he has very good experience with the electronics side of things.. and has the capital and expertise to pop the stuff out.
Id love to get a review on the video converter personally. Sounds interesting. Wondering about how good the quality of the conversion is.
Anyway.. get over it already, and be more grown up than he was and or still is.
As for attacking Kevin, well..we all know his reviews are a bit on the shallow and buttkissing side. You cant expect much more though.. as exposing hurtfull info to a product will not get more vendors to send him new toys. Sad but true. Like it or not, hes better than nothing at all. Attacking him is as childish as this entire thread and subject.
