I like how it behaves the original way, it happens to fit nicely with my style of working and organizing things. It's handy when hosting multiple versions.
One instance why I use an older version is because the sound in Liberator seems muffled and the ships in Tac/Scan aren't completely symmetrical. Perhaps I can tweak something, perhaps not. So I just use an older version for those. Older version on older hardware. That's all.
And having mameXYZ.ini "track" mameXYZ.exe makes a lot of sense. And if this feature can be made to work again, well, it simply makes m.a.m.e just a tiny bit better.
Been following this project since its inception back in the 1990's! And I tend to do things old-school style.
