No no, I do remember that, you used to use the name Ninjakid or something like that too. Admittedly I didn't do a great job of that driver, as at the time I didn't really know what I was doing and it took Phil S. to fix it up, but yes it's a game I still enjoy today due to my experience in working on the driver back then.
I just felt your comments were misplaced when it came to the LD stuff; there would be almost no momentum towards doing things properly right now in MAME had we gone with poor solutions in the past. You talk about rot, but I think more discs would have been discarded and replaced with emulation solutions than we've already seen, potentially throwing away even the opportunity to recapture them now.
RA is all about poor short term solutions that have mass appeal rather than a longer term vision.
MAME is more about being patient.
I know these days you're looking forward to seeing Star Rider in MAME, as am I, it looks like one of the more interesting uses of LD tech. Not on a Cube Quest level, or GP World level, but interesting nonetheless. Not being familiar with it, I don't know if I'm correct in feeling that way however.
What I do know is that when it does finally come to MAME, thanks to the capture methods we waited so patiently for, it's going to be the absolute best possible experience we could have hoped for.
