mame how do i delete games...
« on: December 13, 2004, 06:10:40 pm »
other than deleting the files from the roms folder which would be very tedious and take forever since the file names aren't always alphabetical or intuitive as to what they are.
I want to do a full install of all the games and THEN delete the ones I don't want to reduce space.

Hey subzero23,

No offence, but it seems strange displaying the signature

It doesn't bother me in the slightest, I offered free advice; that is all!

The fact that I don't have 2000 posts to my name and haven't built 10 cabinets really shouldn't matter in this instance. Newbie or not, I thought we were all here sharing a common interest and helping others where possible explore this exciting hobby.

My opinion: Aggressive and childish comments directed towards the reader are not appropriate in a forum in which the author of the signature is asking the general community for help. I am also certain that while such a signature is attached, subzero's pleas for help and general messages will NOT receive the feedback he is hoping for. This has nothing to do with me or this forum as it pertains to human nature. If you think I am wrong then have a look at the general feedback to his questions and prove me otherwise.

He/you can take my comment anyway you want. What you choose to do with the criticism is your business and nobody else

You are missing the point... it's a random comment, it isn't directed towards anyone particular.  The only person that seems to have even noticed it is you. 

If he were to say (insert name here) is retarded, that would be offensive.  This is extremely general, and therefore, it isn't. 

And being a newbie does make a diference in this instance and pretty much all instances. 

You aren't as aware of the mood in this community because you are new to it.  We aren't fact giving machines, there is a bit of humor/personality injected into everyone and their signatures/posts. 

Long story short, you can't please everyone.  Hundreds of people will see a simple quote and think nothing of it while one person will see it as something offensive.  You just happen to be that one guy.  :)

Respectfully, I won't comment on the poster's past feedback but it probably has more to do with asking "stupid questions" and his interaction with others and absolutely nothing to do with a tag line.   

I'm not defending anyone here, it's just it seemed to me that you were making a personal comment based on your past dealings with him or past perceptions of him, and using the tagline as an excuse to knock him down a peg.

That's not cool.

You make a very good point and if the truth is known, spot on.

Agreed, I had no problem with the tagline.

And the lack of useful feedback to SubZero has a lot to do with him wanting to know "How do I change default key assignments in Zinc" and asking that in a post titled "Am I the only one who plays games right handed?"
