I am aware that ArcadePC Loader is not an emulator, by the way its name says "Loader". I never claimed that ArcadePC is trying to help or harm? MAME - It's simply a way to play these games through that loader/simulator, until some sunny day we wake up with super computers in our houses and we can then play these games "properly". (whatever that means) I can NOT agree with You that ArcadePC Loader harms MAME or preservation. (dumping the roms) What stops You from dumping Your Taito Type X (for example) arcade board/game ? In which way ArcadePC Loader do that ?
