Mame Devs Part of BYOAC?
<< < (9/15) > >>
RayB:
We should all be referring to our cabs as Emulator Cabs anyways... They can run all sorts of software, not just the M word variety.
SGT:
Here is an amusing though somewhat dated commentary regarding the state of friction between the devs and the users:

Very interesting....especially being a newb at this all (my first MAME version was .106 I do believe it was).
Santoro:
Thanks for popping in Aaron. Your post is level-headed and reasonable - I think it will help settle things down a bit.  These flare-ups make many of us a bit nervous.  It would really suuuck to have MAME (edit: or BYOAC!) derailed by some political crap that went badly.

If by amusing you mean "something that will make you lose any respect you might have once held for the author after he demonstrates that he he is an ungrateful idiot" then yes, that's accurate.

Who is holding a gun to anyone's head and forcing them to upgrade to the latest version of MAME, for free no less? Don't like what they did to Asteroids? Don't update. If that attitude was that prevalent around here I'd stop reading and posting, because that sort of selfish whining isn't anything I would ever want to be a part of.

I think it's great that you can compile high scores back in, but understand that you're doing it as a personal tweak that runs counter to the goals of the people who are putting in all the hard work that enables this to all happen. Show a little ---smurfing--- gratitude. People like Randy get all kinds of love and props for making products that he sells to the community (good for him!) and yet when you can get MAME for free it's nothing but whine whine whine even though every version that's ever come out is freely available straight from the source if you don't like the changes.
