FWIW: good luck with BYOFE...I have no problem with another FE on the block, and who knows, if I like it better than Mamewah then I can retire ;) |

Didn't I just tell you that the configurations of front-ends (which seems to be your main concern) are all external? You don't need the source code for that. And let me tell you, if you write a utility for a front-end that is really helpful, a dev is going to be a lot more receptive to adding the other things you are talking about. --- End quote --- Are you saying that MAMEWAH Config wasn't really helpful? There are plenty of users who disagree with you there. I don't know anything about DK other than I spent a solid week trying to get it to work and failed. I don't know anything about external, internal or snozzleternal. I love lamp? --- End quote --- Mamewah config probably was helpful to mamewah, I don't use mamewah so I wouldn't know. Personally when I look at mamewah I see the old raging dragon I made several years ago. It's very limiting graphically so imho and just imho it's the "wrong horse to back" at a point in time where the average mame cab can finally handle a lot more bells and whistles. Sorry you didn't get it to work, probably you tried it early on and your pc wasn't up to it yet. Dk was very future thinking when I started it, it only runs on modern video cards so I can add snazzier effects. |

I don't WANT to code BYOFE alone. I don't even want to code BYOFE! There's too much to do here. I'd prefer to have my hand in another FE so that we (the community) can see these needed features implemented some time before the year 2010. |

To you they are needed features, to the rest of us they aren't. They are "that would be nice but It isn't a priority" features. There are plenty devs (myself included) that are more than willing to work with you, but you only seem to want it done your way. That is fine but it's hard to get a fe author on your side when you are telling them what to do at the same time. |

Okay, I've pretty much given up in rallying support from you guys, so I'm ready for this thread to be derailed. --- Quote from: Howard_Casto on September 14, 2006, 10:30:20 am ---But here in lies your problem.

All I've seen since I got here some years ago is resistance, especially from you! Remember when I went on and on about how dumba.exe was the poo and you went on and on about how only stupid users need a config program and why cant they just edit the config files? You know, then I proved you wrong by developing MAMEWAH Config? Yeah. Which program have you been working on, DK or a config program for DK? In the end, I'm curious to see whether you proclaim that was your idea too. Anyway, the only FE developer that seems remotely interested in the feature requests that I have offered in the past is youki, some of which he's implemented to some degree. I still think it would be faster if he let me (and other people) help though. |
