Yes, it would be really nice to see those classic machines in working condition in a museum or something. Emulators are a great idea to keep those machines (actully the software:) alive.
There is a store (http://www.electronicdiscountsales.com/) in the Dallas, TX area that has plenty of parts for old machines.
It's tough to be Microsoft these days, huh?
No matter what they put on the market or on the Internet is a big fat target for hackers, lawyers and bashers!
Remember the time Microsoft Flight Simulator was used to prove that a clone PC was actualy compatible and capable of running (ugh!) the most complex PC programs?
Today MAME and DOOM are used for the same purpose. If you can port MAME or DOOM, then the platform is good enough.

Big Media is afraid of the new and unknown. DVDs were one evil, but now they are they milk caws. Same thing happened to VHS/Betamax.

Forget buffer overflows. Forget malicius code.
Where can I find malicious music? I'd love to listen to malicious songs on my drive to work every morning.
TM: Hello, may I speak with (my wife's name)?
Me: She is not here. She is at home. This is my office number.

TM: Then I don't know why we are calling you.
Me: Me neither.

Jeez. I guess this guy's computer is the only one on Earth that doesn't "break". Maybe he vents all his fury on his standalone players. :P

I'll connect my ZX-81 which runs an Xbox emulator on LindowsOS to my T68i GSM phone and beat anyone of you on MotoGP. Yeah!
I almost forgot.

The real reason why someone would port MAME to a cellphone?
"Because I can".

What about the ZX-81? Interesting how 16k RAM seamed just fine... Megahertz? Forget about it. Kilohertz!
