I've been toying with MAME (and other emus) since version .58 and too be honest, I'm surprised the whole scene hasn't been sued out of existence by now. It's like there is this unspoken understanding between the emulation community and the game industry. What has been proven is that MAME, and projects like it have not impacted the games industry financially. Given the industry could've easily gone down the same path as the music/movie business, its refreshing to see ours take the high road.
What gets me is that if there were an iTunes like service available for Roms that I could actually purchase/download DRM free roms playable in a MAME like emulator with a focus in features/playability, it would do very well I think. Of course the roms would have to be fully playable in any emulator, not just the iRoms client Maybe I'm wrong and there aren't enough of us old farts about around to warrant the effort.
