You're right, the ability to play 1000's of games for free should be wrapped up in a neat little package just for you. /me shakes fist at MAME devs for not spoon feeding this guy.


good day.

It's a common complaint, although there really isn't anything we can do about it.

MAME represents what we know, if something comes along to improve that knowledge then it gets added, sometimes the romsets change, a lot of this is in the name of keeping things organized.

When you take an old version it was made at a period in time when we don't know what we know today, you wouldn't buy a medical textbook and expect every page to include outdated and proven to be wrong knowledge from the previous edition of the book presented as fact, MAME is no different.

I do fully appreciate it can be disruptive to the usage patterns some people want to have, but at the same time we can't be afraid of change because that would also mean being afraid of progress.  Unfortunately in extreme cases I've actually seen people say they wish the project would just die and stop being updated so that the ROMs would stop changing, a little selfish if you ask me.

"Okay, you know what? Let's argue then."

Not looking to argue as I couldn't care less if you use MAME or not.  Good luck with the cab!

I don't understand why people are complaining about how difficult it is to setup mame, you know that is free right? People are actually using their free time to improve and preserve a huge amount of gaming history, I have had games that won't work because i downloaded them from a dodgy rom site, as many are saying, you can download a complete rom set and then you won't have any issues with incompability. I am so greatful for mame, thanks to the mame devs i get to play many of my favorite arcade games right at home.
