> Mame is a tool, I don't know why people still get bent out of shape over people using it differently. There's more than 1 use for a screwdriver. There are some people who don't use it for anything at all but pure preservation and cataloging and only ever boot it up to test if a dump is good.
Why do people get bent out of shape by the use of any tool? I'm not different, though I argue there is a difference between using old versions of MAME, and using video technology to create the programming people watch today.
AdvanceMAME has a popular use again because it made itself available to a certain demographic. And as current MAME has largely moved away from native resolution, AdvanceMAME is the standard for that use, and I think should be recognized for it. Finally, while some things are 'more accurate', their rendering methods are an accommodation of modern hardware (like the Scramble/Frogger/Galaxian thing).
But I'm neither for nor against MAMEdev disclaming anything that isn't closely related to current MAME.
Scifi frauds. SF illuminates.
