Response to There is an easy way to cheat in MAME

from Tim Morrow (tjmorrow@bigpond.com)
It would be nice to contribute to this conversation. It is unfortunately impossible to comment because the the mame flaw reported by Mark is CENSORED. From some comments above several people have actually read what this flaw is already. Why are the rest of us being excluded? I (and others) have previously raised the slomo flaw/issue which is undetectable in both DOS and WIN versions of MAME. I had to seriously consider whether it was worth while making recordings because the playing field did not appear to be level due to the slomo. Now it looks like there is a terrible flaw in the DOS version of MAME which from Mark's report appears to have been introduced after MAME34. I'd like to know what it is so I can make an informed decision on whether it is worthwhile submitting any other recordings until it gets fixed. Now since the MAME DEV team are unlikely to be interested, as Mark suggests, we may have to start building MAME versions for MARP that incorporate a better encrypted, more secure, more informative recording format with timestamping and more profiling etc. Tim
