If Nicola drops the games, then they will be dropped from the list. We don't play Raine or Callus games here just because they are or were emulated. As much as I agree with many of the statements made, games which were designed SOLELY for the purpose of gambling have little place in MAME and even less here at MARP.(posted 9073 days ago)Furthermore, I disagree that Poker Ladies or Mahjongg are the same as gambling games. Both of these games have a stage progression, whereas Golden Star or Super Casino do not.
Finally, holding onto these games would require players to keep YET ANOTHER version of MAME on their computers to record scores for them. Mine currently has mame34 for old unrecordables, TGMAME3 for tournament play, and MAME32v.36b16 for normal recordings. This is in addition to versions I have to download to confirm recordings (currently final .35win and .36b10win) I'll be damned if I'm keeping another sucker on my hard drive.
I don't think that the vast majority of the MARP community has any qualms about dropping the gambling games. And I'm sorry if it affects people's leaderboard position, but it gets me too.
Sincerely, Q.T.Quazar
