Also: I recently had a conversation with someone, and somehow the topic got to 'arcade games'. So i tried to explain the concept of emulation in a non technical way, and then showed him 'donkey kong' and 'pacman' in MAME. He was excited and flabbergasted at the same time. 'that looks just like the same game [dkong, pacman] I played as a kid !' And then I got to tell him that: as far as the knowledge of the original hardware was accurate, and the readout of the game-code components of the original hardware was correct..." he was actually playing the same game as he had as a kid. He loved it. As far as I can tell, he actually got to relive childhood memories in some way shape or form. And although the name 'mame' or even the 'concept of emulation' may not have stuck, he did get to enjoy the reliving of childhood memories, if only for a little while. Perhaps even little things like this might assist in finding the energy to keep up the good work of improving the emulator.
