Due to Flandry being busy, can we try and keep this mame project moving along nicely with improvements and suggestions of how to improve.

I am no coder at all but i do understand mame and i can help people out who struggle with it and also test new versions.

What i wouldn't like to happen is to test new versions which would break the current working version on my N900, it would be easier to have new versions to test running along side the current version with no conflicts or replacement. that is my suggestion

I still standby my idea of an older version to be complied for 2 reasons.

1. To test my findings that an older version will play most roms near perfect which are made pre-2000 (outrun,.space harrier, nemesis, r-type etc) which struggle to run at good speeds currently on the N900 but shouldn't need overclocking to run near perfect. - see my previous post on the performance of mame on my Gp2x wiz running @ 533mhz,

2. To shut me up.

I would say it's worth trying just for reason 2 alone.
