I gotta admit that Crash has made some valid points. Stig, I'm not quite sure what you're basing you "elite" comments on. Last I looked, no one is "elite". Everyone has a right to voice their opinions, everyone has a right to submit numerous scores to climb up the "elite" leaderboard and as far as I know no one has the "elite" power to dictate how MARP is run. The closest one to have that power is Zwaxy himself and I'll tell you something...he could do whatever he pleases and the heck with the rest of us! However, he has gone to great lengths to appease the whims of MARPers and has shown nothing but admirable attempts to make fair decisions that will please most of us. Your input into issues that arise here at MARP are just as important as anyone elses. Problem is, you spend more time with negative commentary than helping us find an equitable path towards a solution. I know you could help us if you focused your energy to the positive instead of the negative.(posted 9538 days ago)Where the TG MAME issue is concerned. I'm not an advocate of releasing the source to this particular version as it would serve no use to do so. I'm hoping that Mark gets the OK to proceed with this version and cannot see a reason why he couldn't even without source distribution. It's more than obvious why this is a special case. It's not like this version will be wildly popular and cause further "muddying of the MAME waters" as we MARPers(as well as contributors to other sites) are but a small part of the MAME users. This is an EXTREMELY specialized version that will get very little notice outside of our realm. The average user could care less about the modifications, in spite of what they mean to us. So, don't sweat the small stuff and learn to relax and enjoy this form of entertainment more!
