Mameworld is full of smart arse leeches.
Hi Bizimonki et.al
How about you gormless chumps on the forum chipping in to buy some wanted games occasionally, and have them dumped, decapped and emulated.
I own the roms I use in Mame as I have the old boards of the games I play on, which I buy dead (and stored in the loft) which amounts to 7. Paying for something that is possibly illegal (in whoever's theory) is unethical. You buy the board to document that is in danger of becoming lost.
Besides I have been told by nearly every MameDev including Mr Haywood that the Mamedevs do not distribute roms. They use the dump for the project and very little else. So I do not think your implied comment is accurate.
If you embark on an agreement to purchase a rare game to help the project and the other party reneges, and there is serious money involved, I would be really pissed too.
I have watched Guru over the years and agree that he has an attitude and likes power and the ability to wield it. $5K for a game? Have you dumped Freedom Fighter Yet?
Rule of thumb is: don't bite the hand that hosts your site.
