Firstly I must thank the people who are constantly adding things to MAME - this is extremely appreciated - thanks to all the ROM hunters, and all involved
Maybe the soda machine idea wasn't so crazy after all lol Guess I'm in the minority then...
I actually love the idea that MAME can emulate all sorts of stuff - I think it's a monumental achievement, but in the same way MESS is targeting a different area of the spectrum, forking the gambling stuff would allow the people interested to continue doing so without cluttering up MAME.

Remember that the ability to play these games is a very nice side effect of their preservation.
Really guys - do you honestly think that the reason the majority of people are in to MAME is NOT to play the games of their youth? I love that fact that MAME is an historical archive of something that is rapidly disappearing from our culture, and it really is an amazing thing, but that's like saying an alcoholic drinks 'cos he likes the bottles - lol I'm sure that some guys are doing it for the challenge though.
