Firstly: I never ever hoped that the MAME developers will change their statement. I'm not that naive. I just wanted to see how much they'll be pissed again if someone points it out. Secondly: I'm not a moron. I understand very well that, even if they included a statement about preserving arcade history, this would only count for the way the games were presented in an actual arcade, not for my own personal setup at home. I also understand why MAME cannot include ROM images. I know where to find the ROMs, so why should I ever ask the MAME team to include them? Your examples are ridiculous.
