Thanks to that contributor. I forget how much more work is/was needed to get the disc player system up and running.

I linked Stiletto's old post to show the long ago issue regarding 3DO console emulation issue.

Not to rehash the old issue, but just to point out to newcomers of the long ago 3DO emulation issue that came about back then.

This is what we're talking about BTW.

If you thought the old MAME license was a bit weird, check this out and think through the ramifications.

Anyhow, the rumor is they've had a long history of people ripping them off in various ways so this is their reaction. MAMEDev reacted differently to such shenanigans years ago but also did a non-OSI-compliant license for the longest while. It's no different, to be honest.

Anyhow I think we're done here, I don't want to see any bashing of other emulators around here, so thread lock
