To those who were desperate to see some news regarding GroovyMAME, that's the final answer. As we can see, MAME developers aren't villains here, on the contrary, without them, we would have no emulated games to play!!
Developers do a great job on their SPARE TIME trying to fix and improving emulation and all of that FOR FREE! So please people (AKA: users) - stop whining and criticyzing developers behavior, because this kind of thing only makes them to think about giving up this very demanding hobby, which would lead us ultimately to have no more games added,fixed or improved!
I think that all points were made clear here and the discussion had its highs and lows already, so let's stop this 'war' and move on! My original doubt was answered a looooong time ago in the first few posts, so thanks for those who contributed
