FWIW.
I'm pretty sure it's already been highlighted here as the exact type of scenario we want to avoid.
Platform specific crap that doesn't care to adhere to any kind of license.
Unless I'm thinking of something else (some kind of 3D arcade that did similar)
The main reason I think MAME is just going to have to take it all on board one day and have it's own inbuilt simulation is just so that it gets done properly, in a way that works across all platforms, not in some closed source proprietary format crap.
