One more plug for gameex
markrvp:
This is a great website which is why I am offended when people like you who don't contribute anything come in and slam the people who do actually contribute.

Yes, andy does create things for mame, but because there is a physical component involved in the cost besides labor, it changes things just due to the nature of the product. While I'm not knocking the time and effort you've put into your software, comparing your software to hardware is kinda silly and out of place.

Another ignorant statement. Both Tom's software and Andy's hardware are facilitating the use of MAME. Neither is necessary to use the software, but both make its use more enjoyable. Believing software has no value because you can't hold it in your hands is what is silly and out of place.
I know the anonymity of the internet emboldens people to say things in threads that they would be too cowardly to say face-to-face, but the lack of class you guys are showing by knocking Tom for giving the option to donate is beyond belief.
Here is a good general rule in life and specifically for this forum. If you don't have something nice to say then STFU!

Is it a coincidence that the ones that are crying the loudest about Tom's software are n00bs? They both have 50 posts or so and think the world should be free and then believe they are the ones who are being attacked. This train of thought is common more and more amongst todays youth. I don't know if these people are are young or old and frankly don't really care. Just because you don't believe something is of use enough to you to warrant the nag screen doesn't mean that you should crap on someomes product or are required to post your opinion.
I have machines running Mamewah and GameEx and they are both excellent software packages but Tom by far is the most responsive to requests and bug fixes. Not a slam on Minwah but rather a praise for Tom. It is hard damn work doing what the FE developers do and to have passion and continue to move forward with a vision takes a real set of balls and determination.
With that said... This thread should be locked or the negative comments including this one removed.

Just lock it. No need for censorship.

Actually, I never said that, nor did I imply that. Hardware implies that you need physical components, access to those components, and the ability to get those components put together the way you need them to. Software (or, if you prefer, Intellectual Property) indeed *does* have value, but comparing it to hardware (Physical Property) does not hold up, for multiple reasons, and if you need more info on the subject, just google up some pages containing Intellecutal property, MPAA/RIAA/**AA, DRM, and similar.
Read up on it, and you'll see why I think it's foolish to compare the two.
It's an ok software, but there are problems with it that I voiced, and reasons why I believe some things shouldn't be the way they are on said software. I'm just voicing my opinion (or review, if you will). Sorry if you think it needs to be censored.... Perhaps if I gave it a rave review would be better? ???

It's also a common misconception that anyone with thousands of post counts MUST know vastly more than someone with 50 or less and that anyone with a post count less than 2000 is obviously a fool Afterall massive post counts equates to the combined IQ of the whole world! ::)
Other than that I would agree in that this thread should probably be locked. I wouldn't censor it though.
