Dear Tingoes,

>Mame Devs contribute their valuable time and expertise and often their own money to further the MAME project.
>They do this both for their own reasons -
>INTRINSIC VALUES; and for the benefit of the project or for and the enjoyment of others and the MAME Team as a whole - EXTRINSIC VALUES.

You do have some points I do agree. I knew this longtime ago when I first discovered mame. Yes, It's very true that MAME Devs spend their valuable time and money to work on MAME Projects. MAME has never been a paid project. It's always a volunteer project done using their talented skills. They also encourage those in the community who love MAME to contribute their time and money to help out in the project. It's been that way since the project was first started in 1997. It's their philosophy and want to maintain this. Why not just tell me something if I'm not doing enough to helpthe project rather than mocking me, bashing me, attacking me, or calling me names (troll, squirt, etc.), which I do not appreciate and not very nice of you.

>I see you trolling away from under your insignificant little bridge with your feeble little arguments about why these people
> people who already give away much of their valuable time and expertise as a donation to the project as a whole, are either purposefully trying to undermine you and your enjoyment
>by withholding new releases or should do more for you as you have the loudest voice. You being the hungry, ungrateful troll child under the bridge.
I may not have the largest voice on on the internet but I'm not a child. No one is trying to undermine by holding anything for me. Either you misunderstood what I said
or did not read my posts correctly. I never meant the way what you are saying about me.

>Others who already do so much for the project may have their own reasons, or reasons that you do not understand not to do something at this immediate point in time.

First off, I don't know you and you don't know me. I'm only limited what I can do. I can only do so much to help out. People who help out can only do only when they are capable of something.

>To quantify, something that you Gamerfan the troll are demanding right now is Wyvern FO to be uploaded and playable right now.
I seem to remember something about Wyvern F0 having unknown hardware and as being unmameable from a previous discussion.

I did not demand anything or anyone to added games nor I'm forcing anyone to add games. I'm not a troll like you are assuming. I was only curious and wondering. I also did not accuse anyone.
You sort of misunderstood what I meant. What I meant was I don't send funds to anyone especially arcade collectors hoarding the games and refuse to see the classic games emulated that's what I was
trying to say.

>I see you have squirmed out of the donation option in your second letter.
Your excuse being your seemingly poor current and future employment prospects, prospects which are probably related to your poor attitude towards others working within a group.

Employment??!!! I do not recall mentioning about employment. I never told you or anyone in mameoworld or anyone on the internet about this. My employment prospects is none of your business. That's personal and I don't share anything like this to anyone. You misunderstood what you read in my post. You did not read correctly. When I say financial matters it means financial issues. It means there are financial gaps in my life I need to deal with first before I can send funds again. My I never set my attitude towards the group with the negative aspects you have written about me. Otherwise, stop putting words in my mouth.

>Before you aim your pointy stick in my direction I feel that I have a right to speak on this topic as I have spent between $10,000 to $25,000 on buying PCB's, artwork, control panels and other assorted stuff to contribute to the project.
(I don't keep a tally and don't wish to.) Example
- The Japanese version of Space Intruder cost me $1,000 Australian to buy.

Well, I contribute to the project too to help with the purchases. Only when I'm able. But like I said, I can only so much since I'm limited what I can only do for the project.

>I am not hoarding it. I intend to put it into MAME - but the lack of access to the money to have it done professionally, or access to expensive technology such as a high resolution camera prohibits me from doing so ATM.

Sorry but I don't trust you anymore. I don't believe a single word you are saying.

God Bless You
