I was mostly cheesed because Aaron was cheesed and nobody seemed to care. Generally such a sharp word from the head of MameDev would have at least caused everyone to slowdown and think a little instead of just 1 or 2.
No idea why RB was cheesed since the post was deleted.

Well, I'll never be accused of asskissing, but I like to think that personally I'd be a bit upset with myself if I purposely went against the wishes of mamedev. Never been a goal of mine, and likely never will...and I'm fairly certain I echo the sentiments for the majority of the core hobbyists here. :cheers:

No, I meant amusing as in humorous. Relax a little. That commentary is probably almost two years old. The battle was already fought in other message boards over that commentary. The link provides a dissenting opinion that I find very amusing. It is fine with me if you do not agree.

I disagree. I think putting high scores back in for your own personal use does not run counter to the goals of anyone. Providing a compiled version for others may.

I'm not sure even that's a problem, MAME32FX seems like it gets by OK. I use it myself. I'm not anti high score at all. I'm just saying that people should show a modicum of restraint and respect at the very least. It's the sense of entitlement that irritates me.

That's the nub of it, right there. It's always the clueless noobs that go rampaging around hollering about everything that's wrong and asking why such 'n such doesn't work the way they're sure it should, totally oblivious of the ten thousand times the question has been asked and answered. Especially on MAMEWorld, for some reason. Meanwhile, the much larger group of good-mannered, non-bonehead hobbyists AREN'T making much noise over there, and so the morons become the "face" of our side of the hobby.
Boz:
In any social circle, depending on how many people are in it, you will always have a few people who are always just a *bit* outside of the norm and who tend to raise a few eyebrows from time to time. BYOAC has them. The Mamedevs have them. The BYOAC and hobbyist community is larger by several orders of magnitude than the mamedevs community. It would make sense then that we have a higher number of those off-center people. While the number is probably proportional, it's easy to see why there is a general sentiment from the devs about people here or a disdain, in general, about the hobbyist.
It's odd though. I've never been involved with a user community where two side who have apparently the same goals (preservation), but could be so at odds with one another over the most rediculously unimportant issues.
Makes me wonder if this is one big Irish family.
BTW, who's Saint? ;D
