The idea is that it would become a tool required to show for shared run videos or streams to be valid.
Anyway anything can be patched, edited and faked, but if we go by that philosophy and make paranoia the default then we might as well question everything and see fake news/plots everywhere, then stop sharing at all.
There's always been scoreboards where people just post in whatever fashion required, but they've also always been more or less vulnerable to lies and forgery...
It's better to offer the actual possibility to do it a bit more right, offering reasonable solutions, than do everything to limit, fordib and stop.

Yup, I would. Though I might have to sell a pcb for that since I'm broke. :lol

If MAMEDEV wanted to mainline the WolfMAME patches and have it as a switchable option (with your aforementioned indicators), i'd not be against it. But I don't think it should be defaulted on for everyone. Waste of CPU cycles.

Yes something like a switchable 'wolf mode' is another good idea, the flexibility of choice is key IMO, so that means outside of it anything else should be useable, and in any case anything running and influencing the emulation should be displayable in a corner.
I doubt the official MAME would accept the latter in any circumstances considering their overkill inflexibility, but it doesn't have to be the offcial MAME either anyway.

I'm only interested in arcades

And the logic behind that would be...?
There's much more to Retro Arch than better emulation of the 16-bit consoles, of course -- FC/NES, PS, PCFX, even SS and N64 have all decent-enough emulation for many people under RA whereas they don't under MAME. The average user is finding less and less reasons to keep using discrete emulators especially when RA's engine and tweaks allows for better perceived emulation and it offers more options and usability as well. Were it not for Groovy MAME we all would be using Final Burn Alpha and MAME through RA (were it not for GM, RA would be today as bad as MAME for our purpose, we all know that, but that's another matter altogether).

Just that personally I'm only discussing the arcades-MAME emulation side of things here, the multi-emulators topic when invoking RA is not my focus now. Further than that I was always against the MAME-MESS merge anyway.
Indeed if it wasn't for GM I'd probably look elsewhere, but there's also the ARCADE variant that haynor666 makes from time to time and I really appreciate (esp because to this day I still can't manage to organize and browse my games how I want in the vanilla mame ui/mewui and that's as irritating as ever. ARCADE is a breath of fresh air in that aspect)
But yes for the people who are interested in the entire topic that includes consoles and more, your opinion is certainly right.
