![]() ![]() They probably have, and are probably ignoring the whole thread, aleast I hope they are. Nor does it mean that we don't have a right to say that we think they really need to consider using accelerated hardware, which is no less or more original than the rest of the hardware we're running this on. That doesn't mean we don't, similarly, have a right to say that we think that. Even if other people think it's just a pointless mental exercise if they don't apply it. They have the absolute right to determine what their own objectives are and how they want to proceed with them. I'll absolutely acknowledge that it's their software and they can do as they please with it. But on the other hand it has no actual application objective, which makes it a little pointless. On the one hand I do indeed understand and acknowledge and appreciate the huge amount of work and effort that is put into Mame. ![]() I'm kind of in two camps here, mostly because I'm hearing what several people are saying in this forum and finding that I agree with almost all of it. Lets face it this is exactly why Microsoft has such a piece of defective bloatware in Windows. The end application is simply not their objective. ![]() Which is why they don't care what end users want or need. It's a purely academic mental exercise for them and it's clear that that is all they see it as. It's like a kid pulling a radio or a clock to bits to find out where and what all the parts are for. All they want to do is pick every piece of arcade hardware to pieces to find out how it works. ![]() It has nothing to do with copyright infringement at all. The fact is, that as we know they don't want to do it. It already isn't running on original arcade hardware. So it's hardly any less original to be writing Direct X drivers and making it run as efficiently as possible with our modern hardware. They're reverse engineering encrypted chips to make them run in an emulation where the protection is cracked out and is running on a modern piece of hardware, they're now even releasing a version that runs on dual core and quad core processors, precisely what is original apart from the Rom Dump code and even some of that is cracked to remove protection. ![]()
