>So what features and strides did you like implied in MAME and MESS this year
Further progress/continuation of net list (discrete) updates, more Arcadia titles preserved, and more PEPlus gambling hardware preserved.
>and what would you like to see in 2014?
Any further non-cpu progress will be great (MAME and DICE), more DECO cassettes preserved, any odd hard-to-find cpu based 1970s era games, and any remaining Arcadia titles not yet preserved such as Rockford.
