MAME Questions

Agreed, which is what I said in my first post about this. It's whether one wants everything or just all the old classics.

 

I'd say it's whether one wants everything, or everything minus the CHD's

 

A good percentage of games in a regular mame non-chd romset are pretty far from classic

 

True... how about all the classics and all the other old crap

I just got rid of all the street fighter games. I cant play 'em, and IMHO they suck big time anyway. Freed up 2 GB on my laptop.

Buying the Mame files is kinda weird. Since it is just somebody out there who collected all the files.

 

You're not buying the MAME files, you're paying for shipping and the discs for someone to copy them for you from a known good and complete source. It's no different than downloading them from a torrent, which is also just somebody out there who collected all the files.

 

 

someone should tell this guy then:

Yeah, that's totally against not only the spirit of MAME, but of the distribution agreements (or non-agreements in some cases) etc. What that guy and others are doing is not at all the same as MAME burners (i.e. selling for a profit). So... people like that shouldn't reflect on this at all.
