Response to New TG MAME

from Mark Longridge (cubeman@iname.com)
Aqua: I don't think there is any point in releasing the source for this "TG" version of MAME35 final. All I changed was a few lines of code which makes cheating a lot less likely, and I modified the INP file format a bit. If I distribute the source of this minor patch then the whole point of patching the source is negated, and the ability to EASILY cheat is once again a problem.

Dave Kaupp: Sure, you could recompile mame34 and cheat your brains out... but with mame35tg you can't do it and you don't know what I changed in the inp file format to make it incompatible with ALL other versions of MAME. Now it's pretty tough to cheat, which is the point of the exercise. May as well make cheating as difficult as possible, don't you think?
