The Belgian police is just enforcing laws.
If you eg. get a speeding ticket you hear the same whining... there are worse crimes then this one.
On the Dutroux case... You guys have had more serial killers then anywhere else on the world. How many people did Ted Bundy murder? How long could he do that without getting noticed? As I recall he too escaped from the court by climbing through a window...
And in the UK some doctor killed hundreds of women
So please stop saying you're better then us Belgians.
Go and look who put you on the moon (yep, NAZI germans like Von Braun did), obviously that was more important then ethics.
Look who made your bombs possible (Einstein came from Europe)
Look who 's teaching in your elite schools (yep, Europeans you bought away from our universities)
They covered MAME for the first time ages ago. You could al least have done a search in the archives:-)
But... I agree that/. could inform people more about MAME since it gets better with every release. But then... there are excellent sites like http://www.retrogames.com or http://www.vintagegaming.com already doing that
Hint: Maybe/. readers could ask Nicola Salmoria (or someone else from the MAME team) some questions ?;-)
I hope they get Afterburner working, not because it's such a great game without the hydraulics, but it would _really_ be a technical achievement don't you think?
the MAME people did a good job preserving all those classics but maybe MAME should be splitted up in two versions: one which tries to emulate ONLY classic games older then 15 years or so (eg. Galaxians, Pac Man, Donkey Kong, defender, Elevator Action...) and the current MAME (this also emulates neo*geo roms and more recent games). I think this would persuade companies to give up rights on ROMS. I don't feel well about playing games illegaly on MAME but..
I cannot play them anywhere else!!
I already paid for them big time in the arcades years ago:)
in the 80ties I bought some crappy arcade conversions of the games for the c64/Atari ST on which Sega/Konami etc have also had a percentage via licensing. Anyone remembering the crappy job Ocean did with Outrun/Afterburner? Only a few of them were good (rainbow islands, bubble bobble)
IF you could buy rom sets for a reasonable price I would certainly buy my favorites !!
I rest my case;-)
ps. interested people should really check out http://www.retrogames.com, you'll be amazed how much can be emulated these days:)
I use consequetive MAME32 versions for over 2 years now, and I hardly noticed ANY lockups, except in Windows NT. I just want to say that it's a stunning piece of work and it gets better every day. Because it's a work in progress, it's a problem to keep up with the rom changes in every new version.
