If you sell one cabinet with a PC inside to a friend for the purpose of making us add a game to MAME then you'll be disappointed.
Just for clarification because I phrased it pretty poorly, PacManicMinerMan is remake of Manic Miner (that was a PC/Console game) that was written in 2012 to run on unmodified Pac-Man hardware. It made an appearance at Play Expo later that year so people had been asking if it would be in MAME now. Apparently the author contacted someone from the MAME team and sent them the ROMS inquiring if it would be added and he was told that if a cabinet running his code on Pac hardware was sold and bought, it could possibly make it to MAME. That just baffles me.
Here's a video of it in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux2yoT2UiYo
As far as Outrun Enhanced goes, it's just someone else updating the ROMS to fix bugs. MOST ROM revisions are the very same thing, just done on a more official basis. Had it been a cheesy hack like the 6 shot Asteroids mod or just modified graphics I would not see a place in MAME for it. Since it's what the theoretical final version would have been had it not been abandoned by the developers, I would think it has value, ESPECIALLY since it is running in arcades... somewhere.
Again, as my original post stated, I was just curious why some ROM hacks were included and some were not. I wasn't asking for anyone to add it. I personally don't care other than seeing things preserved.
