Response to There is an easy way to cheat in MAME

My opinion on eg. the PAUSE possibility.

I dare to admit (and I'm absolutely not ashamed to do so) that I use PAUSE frequently and for the following reason. Maybe other players have the time to continuously play for hours but I haven't. Especially when playing those long lasting games (naming a few at the moment: Boulderdash, Block block, Pang, etc.). I have a family/children, I get phone calls frequently, and so on, that causes me to pause the game. So in my opinion there should be an encrypted playing time in the INP file and NOT the start and end time of a play. In this way it doesn't matter whether you pause the game or not. I know it's not possible to pause your game when playing in the arcades but now I'm not in the arcades, I'm at home.

Greetings MvdV
