Mame

Mame 0.142u3 made big strides towards the MAME/MESS codebase merge, however, unsurprisingly the move has since hit political roadblocks, and the majority of the work I put into doing this for the release has once again been reverted. It's a shame that in this day and age there are people involved in the teams who have no interest in progress, no interest in advancing the project, but just want to block changes and prevent progress being made entirely for political reasons, and personal grudges. At least one member of the 'team' (if you can still call it that) has stated, explicitly, that he's opposed to the changes because they would allow me a way back into the project somehow. This isn't even logical, the official team is meaningless, and there is no reason to be a part of it anymore anyway! The real MAME development is determined by who actually contributes, who actually writes the code and improves the emulator, which is something I've continued to do for years even with certain idiots holding grudges against me, acting like I only do anything for personal benefit.
