You should stop thinking, that everyone has the money to buy the newest, rotten apple shit, that you think is the holy grail. Talking like some insane apple sect evangelist.
Like MAME needs all that modern shit that you claim "is a must have" for everyone, but there are many people that are pretty happy with their "cheap old" nostalgia hardware and they are happy, just because of that fact alone, that it is nostalgia/retro hardware. MAME runs 90% fine of all the games, that are people interested in, who build such cabs with "crappy" hardware. They dont need display drivers for a 3D-printer or printers in general. Whats comming next, cash-registers?
How would a virus come into a XP-machine inside a cab? A cab dont need internet, so it should be safe and fine.
Do what you want, we cant stop that useless rampage, but IMHO all your arguments are pretty weak and there is no sense behind it, other than to fuckup people and to twit on them, because they dont spend that money, just to play some old games.
