    No thanks. I'd rather emulate an emulator using javascript whilst emulating windows, just to be on your level.

    I just use Mame, http://mamedev.org/ I see it's up to .152 :} the torrent (.151) is outdated already.

    They added a warning that the zip file had changed, I took a screen shot of it and pasted it to IrfanView, saved then forgot it.

    This morning I looked at the screen and see a 50% torrent and was rightly ticked, something was odd, ah ha, closed IrfanView to see the torrent at 100% so leaving it online for awhile if not longer.

    Thank you Archive.org I've been after a complete collection for a long long time. BTW this is version .151 think I was working with .136.

    I don't need to keep it updated, I'm happy where I'm at.

    I'd prefer to be able to download the one or two ROMs I actually care about even if I'm using a mobile or otherwise limited platform. You can run MAME on Android these days. There is no way whatsoever for me to download that file to my Nexus 16GB, especially since I can't seem to get USB OTG working. It's non-trivial due to the stupidly 3.3v USB port.

    Pulling this out of my rear as I'ts been so long (not sure if it's winodws only), but for you would download
    cmpro for mame (Google: mame cmpro -download PDF). You can then make a request
    for missing or wanted ROMs on alt.binaries.emulators.mame it's very active
    a few people will jump on your request, filling (uploading) it.

    Not sure just which program makes a list of your missing ROMs to upload to the group;
    I would just downloaded others request.

    cmpro is short for Clrmamepro

    I have a rooted Motorola Xoom (Googles own), for the longest time I would bypass the Gmail log-in to go

    set it up correctly the first time through then disable the Cyanogenmod status checks.

    Twas the 9-26-13cm-10.1-20130922-NIGHTLY-wingray update. There's a pattern or sequence I go through
    when I install a new Rom the first is to sign in to Google, The 9-26-13 social engineered my Gmail account from me.

    The first thing differed in you were to log into Cyanogenmod, I kept using my gmail address until I gave it a moments
    thought. Logged into Cyanogenmod then continued into setting up the ROM, I've no reason to of logged into Cyanogenmod.
    The signing into Cyanogenmod wasn't necessary to install the ROM but I didn't know at the time, you can/could just skip past that part.

    As for my the Gmail account it's only used with my Xoom, with an identity from http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/ so no big deal.

    The ten commandments are common rules of order (less the respecting of some deity),
    I've sure you know of their history; the bible just being the latest to list them.

    The "less the respecting some deity" isn't all true, a religion will pop up no matter the place or time.
    The ones not requiring a sacrifice and promise eternal life will survive much longer than others.
    Most likely another religion will wipe them out if a sacrifice is part of a ritual.

    I asked my Mom recently (who is very religious and knowledgeable of the subject) what sin did I do before
    even being born for someone to die over it. She said jesus died for our sins so we would survive.
    I asked her what sin was that, she said she still hasn't figured that one out.

    No matter how many holes one finds (golden tablets under a rock) they will survive.
    Now if these tablets were made of aluminum (one of the most abundant elements and more sense for the purpose).
