whilst on UKVAC email list i have noticed a certain distain shown towards mame users.
In particular when i recently bought a Gorf machine from a UK VACer everything was going fine until i mentioned my mame machine. he then laid into me saying that emulators could never be a replacement for the original...
i wonder if anyone else has experienced this?
personally i would not have got into restoring the classics with out mame re-introducing me to my 80's arcade roots.
I suppose this might not be such a major issue in US as the original classic machines and parts are relatively easy to obtain. In the UK this is not the case.

we have a store here in Lexington KY. called game exchange ( I think its called that)
they deal in arcades. I got all excited about it. Drive up there and all games were in very bad shape and he wanted big bucks. He was all friendly till I said Mame. ::)
He became a real MR. Hide.
I had a list of game made for my Nintendo VS.
first He argued with me about the arcade. He stated it is called a Nintendo "V" "S" not verses. ( I still think he is wrong. He also said the list of games I had was all wrong. ( I got the list from Mame) I had enough of his lip and left and will never go back.

I pronounce it "versus" too, and have heard sevral other people say it that way as well.

You should prove to him how your opinion is more valid than his and firebomb his store.......J/K
No, but seriously, do it. A half gallon of 89 octane goes a long way......(no, really, I'm joking)
..........But seriously...do it............ ;D

How exactly is the list of games wrong? Do they not exist? It's just titles. This guy sounds like one of those tiny unsuccessful store owners who needs to have so much control over his little world that he is willing to drive good customers away over idiotic sematics.

Or maybe he's just an ---uvula---.

Usually they are the same thing.

Well they do both amount to the same thing, but one stems from insecurity while the other stems from just being a general dick. I guess I'm getting into idiotic sematics myself here, so best I just let it go. :)

Just being a dick usually stems from insecurity too.

Chad, you walked right into that one, yet I can't bring myself to take the opportunity to use the setup. ;)

I am fully secure in the knowledge that I am an ---uvula---.

When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me. I am the hole in that ass.
-
Hey! You can say ass, but not ---my bottom---?
-
So, the word ass alone is not censored but M Y ass is?

Your ass
His ass
Her ass
Their asses
My asses

Weird.

Ass
Ass hole

---my bottom---

Interesting. Ass hole is fine if you break it into two words. One word not okay.

my whole ass

Or asswhole.

Hrm. I suspect we need a new word.
I like asswhore.

It seems to be pre-approved by the auto censor. Seems close enough to an official seal of approval to me.

Not as elegant as Strawberry Speedbags, but maybe it shouldn't be.

I can't imagine anything living up to the legend of strawberry speedbags.

That Genuine Leather logo should be replace with tommy's autograph.

If he's willing to provide a scan I'll see what I can do.

Where's the dedication? go through his trash and find one.

I'd be all over it if it weren't for the hundreds of miles that separate us. If any Floridians are willing to assist in this cause, the Strawberry Speedbags Foundation is still accepting members. (pun intended)

The Strawberry Speedbags Foundation is an informal group that does not require signatures of its members. In fact, the Strawberry Speedbags Foundation encourages oral commmitments of its members.
