PowerMAME - New Derivative Build
Farmboy90:
I say just change the name from PowerMAME to something withou Mame in it, and lets get on with it.
It isn't that big of a deal to call it something else. The point of this project is to make the most user/cab friendly mame version around. Enough of the religous debate stuff.
Let's focus on the goal. And if renaming it helps people sleep at night, fine by me. I just want to play games like most every other cab builder.

Whatever the outcome, feel free to compile your own build with the above code. With Mr. Do's instructions, it's about a 5 minute process to get everything set up and going.

Agreed. Even someone as inept at coding as myself can easily adjust the source and compile a build without the OK screens.
There's no point in disrespecting the MAME Dev's by distributing an illegitimate binary against their wishes; if people don't want those screens it takes five minutes to set up a compile environment and adjust the code themselves.

I'd like at some to work with the MAMEdevs to see what features we can get pushed back into MAME. When there is an opportunity to do something against their wishes, I'd rather not. I got permission from Aaron Giles to use the MAME name. He made special exception to the license for me since I'm distributing a .DLL that I don't provide source code for. I appreciate what he did and would rather not thumb my nose at him.
JoyMonkey:
To try and get the documentation ball rolling, I put together a quick PowerMAME Wiki here:
http://powermame.joymonkey.com
At the moment you don't need a password to edit, so if you'd like to add a description of a feature, or start a new page, please go right ahead.
