>> ..for any of the long time emulation followers that remember the 2002 April Fools
>>joke that Gridle had pulled with Model 2 wip update on old MAME.net web site.
>I don't really remember that, but I have been around since before MAME was MAME, if you understand what I mean.
I first visited old MAME.net site in May 2000. It was probably first visiting there after discovering about on line emulation web sites a week prior to first visiting old MAME.net site.
I recall Gridle doing a 2001 April Fools and doing April Fools in 2002 of WIP updates and that was it. iirc Stiletto had posted of being disappointed about not being able to save the 2001 April Fools wip update. ;-) I remember that since Stiletto is good at saving stuff. I should have done that myself, but never thought about it since I assumed Santeri (Gridle) would save it, but that didn't happen.
The main part (of old MAME.net) I regret was not contacting someone that was an occasional poster on old MAME.net forums and who absolutely knew the ins-and-outs of 1960s/1970s video games, mechanical games, wall games. The person posted a few times during 2000 and didn't post after 2000. The poster provided good details of some of the 1970s games at the time, but his posts kept getting drowned out by all the CPS-2 kiddie posts. I know it wasn't Al Kossow or other previous Devs, but I am certain it had to be someone that actually worked in arcades during 1960s and 1970s years.
