Two grown men "fighting" over whose code is correct? :laugh2: Talk about nerd fight. I imagine you guys looking like the dude from King of Kong that asks the other guys if they want to see a DK kill screen, cause its "coming up". If I had that emoticon with the 2 smileys slapping each other, I would put it up. Jesus. :banghead:

Two grown men aren't fighting over whose code is correct. Abra is spoiling for an OK Corral style code-shootout. Derrick is refusing to play along.

ok but its still funny. Code-shootout is what made me laugh :lol

You have been explicitly told numerous times your personal dogma is not shared with the rest of the team. You were banned becasue they did not want you to "represent" the team, as they said. Makes sense?

If I attempt to log into Mameworld I get a message with the ban reason
'reposting deleted posts'
Cut the bull, you know _nothing_ as you've repeatedly shown.
As I've said, if they were the mature 'responsible' ones, they would at least allow posts of the work in progress, to show where MAME is developing. They don't, you will get banned for attempting to post links to such progress on my site. Do you think Aaron would strip all mention of me from Mame Development the same way? of course not.
The ban is nothing but a fabricated personal vendetta from a childish mod.
As for your other claims, I single-handedly GOT more people involved with MAME than anybody else during the period I was in charge, spending days and night explaining things to them on IRC, helping them understand the codebase and how to code. Working with them and encouraging them do submit, and improve their coding.
The likes of Pierpaolo, Angelo, Tomasz and Robiza are all devs I worked closely with, helping them to understand the code, and making it far easier of them to apply their skills to the project in areas where they had a better understanding than me (Assembler code, protection devices, schematic reading etc.) These devs + others have been the lifeblood of the project over the last 5-6 years, the ones actually doing the heavy development work, the ones making progress in areas that matter. Nobody is really doing that these days, mailing people who've submitted to MAME, teaching them things, encouraging them to work on other bits, and it shows.
You really seem determined to paint me in some bad light here. I don't have time for selfish or truly incompetent people, but those with a genuine ability and willingness to learn the specifics of MAME I've always had time for. My attitude towards other people depends entirely on their attitude towards me, and the project.
Maybe you hate me for the specific reason that I stepped in last time MAME was struggling, and took over things from Nicola, maybe you would have prefer if everything had just stopped there with one of those ancient versions that runs on an old P3 with all the devs getting pissed off because they were submitting things, with months between releases, only to find that their submissions had been missed, or ended up being applied incorrectly and they had to do the whole thing again, only to find the same happened, once again, with no reasons being given? MAME _could_ in my honest opinion have died at that point because it was becoming too frustrating to work with.
Yes, if people have bad attitudes I will call their bluff, but for you to attempt to somehow blame me for any of this is ridiculous when I've spent as much time getting people involved as anything else.

That would surely cure my insomnia...

Welcome back Haze. We thought you had left us behind, never to return. Your post isn't very punctual. There was a period of time that went by that you did not instantly respond. Is Wednesday pizza night or did you get called out to fix some ATMs? Anyhoo. Its nice to see you back to answer the claims that you tend to have a dislike for new coders. I think you do not have this personal trait, otherwise you would not have posted that comment on your website, and attracted some attention to yourself in the process. If anything you are the goose that laid golden egg. The lucky charm.
I understand NCR still uses NT4 for their legacy accounting applications, where as IBM and others uses XP. I'll have to dig up a few pictures for you showing ATM BSODs. Funny stuff.
This one was some kind of malware attack I found while googling.
Ahh the good old days.
Thanks for answering the post of abraba and clearing up any misinformation.
Aaron and Company must of had a bad day at the office.
