First let me say thanks, from me and the community. Second, please include some type of GUI because many of us have a tough time without one.
Third, this is in no way not supporting you, but do we need another version of MAME out there? Is there no way to get this stuff into regular MAME? If not, by all means, lets do this, I'll help in any way I can (joystick, button, input device reviews, testing etc) but if there is a way to work this out with Aaron and get it in regular MAME, have we tried it?
Again, this is a post to totally, 100% support you, but just making sure the other avenue has been checked out.
Thanks again.

This and a couple of other threads this week have been all about how the MAMEdevs don't want to support some of the ideas/changes we need in order to play games with real controls. This is the reason for doing this. It is also so that we can consolidate some of the versions of mame into one.

Thats true and I've read a few, but there's been a lot of complaining, but has any of the programmers (you guys who know your 1's and 0's) actually talked with the MAME guys? If it's been a long time, opinions change over time, maybe they would be more reseptive now?
Either way, if you are successful, I'm sure they will eventually adapt some of your settings into the official build.

I had a brief discussion with Aaron Giles about permission to distribute 3rd part .dll's without source. Once PowerMAME is launched, I plan to open up a more serious dialog with him about what it would take to get some features into MAME.

This goes for everyone too.
Send me an email at mikeq@unappliedbraincells.com. Give me a list of your talents and how you would like to contribute. I'm filing these away and when something comes up that needs to be done, I'll match it up with the person who can do it.
