Would I be in the minority thinking that adding all these gambling games in to MAME is not a good idea?
Currently there are many many of these being added to the system but IMHO they do not add to the project at all. They cause the ROM lists to be hugely inflated and meaning time and effort to filter them out of the lists (not helped by the removal of filtering in a certain frontend!).
If you are about to say that MAME is an archive of arcade machines (which I think it is / should be) then my local arcade had an air hockey game, those penny pushing things, stuffed toy grabbers and soda machines - are these going to be emulated too??
Can't these games be shoved in to some kind of parallel project? Multiple Gambling Arcade Machine Emulator - MGAME?
Please try to keep this discussion civil - I don't want to start a flame war, just a sensible discussion OT.
