I actually came after the HK MAME era. Prolly a lot of people did, but maybe there are some that didn't that you know about that I don't.
I think it's great what everyone who has worked on this stuff has done, but personally, right now, I'm only concerned with those who are currently working on projects and those who have worked on projects with me in the past.
I could be wrong, and I certainly don't mean any offence to him and his friends, but I'm thinking that most of the people who were friends with HK just don't post here much anymore either.
So.... It's cool that you like the other forum better than here and do your posting there. Just don't be like you've been being when you do post here.
Hopefully somebody decides to help out on that code. Can't beat anybody into doing it though. I put out little "projects" all the time as bait and hope somebody jumps on them. It's about the presentation man. More often than not I get somebody who wants to help. Bummer when nothing comes of it, but I try to focus on what everybody is doing instead of what people aren't helping out with and move on.
Check out this thread man:
WIDE ICON PROJECTNate1579 just did an awesome and totally underrated thing here. I'm hoping his work will inspire more people to help out with that end of the total project.
That was something I wanted to do at some point, but I'm too busy doing other things. It's only one of the many things that people have done to contribute.
Later, and thanks for your work,
