Title: Help Shape MAME's Future (survey from Aaron Giles)
Post by: lokki on May 31, 2006, 10:41:02 pm

Probably belongs in the software section. But figured it would get more attention here.

Aaron has an informal survey at his website..

Note, there is a flaw in the survey. He says to add 2 comments if you use MAME in both a cabinet and also on your desktop PC. But what happens is his web software detects that you are submitting multiple comments and just replaces your old comment with the new one.

I have emailed him to let him know this happens.

It doesn't say two comments it says to entries. I took that to mean that in the same comment you could enter multiple responces and if you look at the responces a lot of people did just that

Well then i blame the lack of specificity in the instructions!  :D
According to Aaron, I ended up entering 4 or 5 entries. It just LOOKED like my entry was being replaced!
