Thoughts/wishes in the coming year. A few of my own...
Laserdisc - for the first time I think we will see the "perfect" rips. I'm not sure if there is any major obstacles as far as hardware emulation goes. I was hoping we would have seen a sample of a rip (video game, not women drinking tea )
Are there any discs/roms that need to be found? Gallagher? Road Runner? Other protos or rarities?
Discrete work - I'm not sure what happened to couriersud. I know finding someone with the skills needed is very difficult. I keep my fingers crossed he/she returns at some point.
Not MAME related but M1 - I'm hoping RB will get "the itch" in '19 to start a new incarnation of his great little program. I suggest we freeze his pay and until he starts. :P
Handhelds - More great work preserving them. I'm hoping one day we will see Mattel games preserved.
Artwork improvements - Some sort way of incorporating artwork for mechanical games. Pinball simulation of some sort evetually.
Happy Holidays & thanks to all the developers involved.
