Hi, Following the recent thread about TGMAME and it`s legality, not to mention an ' OJ Simpson-type character ' , I now quote a response from MR. Dan Boris, who is a MAME DEV guy , and I presume a close associate of Nicola......here goes..(posted 9462 days ago)"I don't think Nicola reads this board much (if at all) so I will put in my $.02 worth. In my personal opinion the message on the MARP message doesn't sound like something Nicola would write at all. If anything it's to wordy, Nicola is usually straight and to the point.
As to whether tgmame following, it does technically violate the it's purpose is to encrypt the INP files it would defeat this purpose if the source was released, so I can understand why it wasn't.
It doesn't disable any features that the licence forbids disabling, and I don't see a problem with the version numbering."

So MARP`ers , it`s safe to assume Nicola was not responsible for the original thread. Where does that leave us ? The 'alledged ' party is a TG judge? I thought these guys were on-the-level ? To any TG judge reading this....reconsider. The actual act of impersonating someone else ( for presumably their own benefit or whatever) is definately not in the spirt or ehthics of Twin Galaxies, or indeed MARP, or anywhere else you care to mention.
Thats my bit of detective work. Can we have ( from other sleuths )) a %100 verdict on the 'suspect'?
Thanks, ALEX
