I really enjoy dumping boards, arcade or not. Other people have fun emulating old devices, arcade or not. Finally, some other people like having those machines emulated, just to play games, to learn how they work, to have them documented or preserved somehow...
We're all contributing our time to MAME. There's no need to download a ROM and run it on MAME if you don't want to, and I will not tell anyone how to spend their spare time.
I'm really exciting to see old SPARC machines working on MAME (and i hate myself for trowing away all my obscure Sun hardware and software, like the Sun Spring OS, the Integraph port of Windows NT to SPARC, my prototipe Sun-DIBA set top boxes, my Sun-Matrox Leo FrameBuffers, my old SPARCStation Voyager...). Others will probably prefer optimizations on existing game emulations... Or maybe some progress on newer 3D hardware... But I do not question why someone works on something instead on what I'd like to have running on MAME.
That's my opinon, of course.
Best regards: Tomás
