the positive side is that they're requesting new blood to become involved in the project.

jipp:
im new to mame.. but after reading the blog.  i see there is a lot of drama.  probably drama the devs do not need..  but thats typical in any public project. 

hope things work out for the best.  i did not realize there were that many gambling games to emulate.  i guess i fail at gambling.. laughs.

new blood is always helpful. and hope for the best for the continue development of the project. 

im happy that they were able to save as many games as they have.  looking at the list.  iv not heard of majority of them.. i fail at being a gaming nerd it would seem too.

rock on mame.

Aren't we eagerly awaiting Pac Man Battle Royale?

I don't see how they got gambling games mixed into there... those really aren't arcade games.

Galaga and Mortal Kombat 2 are already emulated.  Nobody cares about MAME anymore.

Lol

As I said in another thread, All I would like to see in the near future are the circa 93'-99', Saturn, PSX, N64, Dreamcast-based boards (but especially Saturn/PSX) with all the 3D fighters, shooters, racers. Sega Model 2, Model 3, Naomi, Midway V Unit, Namco System 22, and System 11 etc.

The Virtua Fighter, Daytona USA, Tekken, Ridge Racer, Cruis'n USA era was the last true wave of arcade hits. They gotta get these emulated before throwin in the towel on the MAME project.

I'm very sad to hear this news anyway but I think there is huge enthusiasm for MAME emulation still out there and I have faith the project could live on. I'm sure if they get the word out they can find dozens of young, talented programmers to take this up.
