  1. MAME for Windows? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Is there a Win32 version of MAME? I tried for a couple of days to get it working on Linux once, but like so many other things Linux, it was a bitch to get working, so I gave up.

    Anyhow, if there is a Windows version, I'm all over this.

    Seriously, is Linux so arcane because you guys WANT it that way? To keep your club for the elite?

  2. Such a bad idea by wizarddc · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Didn't these developers understand how bad of an idea this would be? No one should be giving anyone any reason to be buying these horrible chunks of plastic. Now there's gonna be at least 50 people who love mame so much they'd buy an NGage just to port it. The people at Nokia should burn in hell for even creating such a hellish product, and shouldn't be rewarded in the slightest for it.

    Just because you do not like the N-Gage.. Doesn't mean your opinion is worth more than anyone elses...

    I like the N-Gage. I like it because there are tons of games for it. I like it because I can watch South Park on it encoded with Real. I like it because I can use it to monitor my servers at work.

    So while you people go on about the shape of it, you seem to forget that there is a large group of people that don't buy iPods because it is cool and buy something that is functional and suitable for a variaty of tasks.

    BTW, the Gameboy looks like crap compared to the games on the N-Gage. I don't care what you say, there is no comparison. I don't care what reviewers say, the system is great. Just simply take the time to look at one yourself.

    Then express your opinions. The store nearby got 14 at launch and had 2 left after 2 weeks of them being sold and you haters spouting at the mouth.
