Not sure what you mean by that. If "getting this shit done the right way" means dumping games that are already dumped because obviously the official mame dumpers are the only ones capable of doing it the right way and putting them on a driver that is probably 10 years out from working then sure.

Don't misunderstand, I'm happy to see them in mame, but these are just direct x enabled pc games with a hardware dongle.. it isn't the same as when arcade games were on dedicated hardware and the only "proper" way to play them was via an emulator. Until a version of windows is released where xp x86 games no longer run and/or dx 7/8 games no longer run the "proper way" to play these games is to just play them, on a regular pc with a very minor hack (despite what others might lead you to believe) that bypasses the hardware dongle.

With two or three notable exceptions, these games "just run" on any pc today.
