Wait - you think I'm going to spend my time on Mameworld bickering with you? Playing games of semantics is quite childish. I don't know what your problem is, and frankly I don't want to know. Mame is a world of FUN, and I choose to keep it that way. If you want to bring angst to the party, then go at it - but it's no concern of mine.

Besides, I'm not a "serious gamer", so why do you care?

ps: I'm not "asslicking" anyone. I'm GRATEFUL to Mame devs, that's all. Their stated goals and aims are as I described - so it's simply a fact. Frankly, if playing games does this to people like you, then I can see why they have to carry warning stickers. If that's what being a "serious gamer" is all about, then long may I not be one of them.

Anyway, I've got to go now, I'm trying to get Mame to work on an old cereal box. I can get the sound, but no picture.....
