OK. Well, I think you're blowing the whole thing out of proportion, but I'm tired of talking about it.

I'm trying to say that any of MAME's self-imposed rules like this one shouldn't be taken as absolutes. They are loose guidelines, not laws of the land.

50 lashes is getting whipped on your back 50 times, an archaic punishment for breaking a law. Anyway, I understand how it might not translate correctly. Again, I'm just trying to make a point that you're taking the "rule" too seriously and absolutely.

No, I'm saying they have no input on the situation. Nothing you are going to do makes any difference to them. They don't care what you think.

You're the only person complaining.

Maybe Aaron will reply to you. I kind of hope he does at this point so this thread can die.

Nope, I saw the year info you dug out of the code. I'm not perverting any truth. What I'm saying is it doesn't matter if there is occasionally a mistake made like this where a game gets added because it appears to be 4 years old instead of 2 and a decision is made that it's more of a hassle than it's worth to rip it out and add it back in a few months. It doesn't matter to anybody but you. That's why you are the only person complaining.

I don't understand most of this. That bootleg NeoGeo cart will supposedly get added 3 years after the Wii release, which maybe doesn't make a whole lot of sense but there's no reason to whine about it continuously.

I don't really understand what this means, anyway maybe he will reply and the thread can die because you don't seem to like my explanations.

I don't think I really understand this either... I don't think other users are feeling more guilty about a 2 year old bootleg being supported in one of their programs than a 3 year old hit. And nobody is forcing people to download roms for boards they don't own. But to each his own, this thread sucks, peace out.
