The MAME team has much more leverage and a giant spine that should be more than enough to convince the FE developers to get their act together. Still, things don't seem to be working, so don't expect a spine-less little me to tell others what to do
I'm providing users with an *option*, so they can make things work on their side instead of having to wait for the good will of others. I would never tell others what they should do, so there's no encouragement coming from my side at all. I have deep respect for the work done by the MAME dev team, so I'm definitely the wrong tree to bark at
