I quoted this post --> http://www.1emulation.com/forums/topic/34115-installing-coinops-3-newbie-guide/page__view__findpost__p__353058 Never played CoinOps, the real MAME and MESS do enough for me. If you read the rest of that thread, you'll see references to coinops being 'banished' etc. That is no longer the case, anyone can talk about it once again. Take a look through the other coinops threads and the coinops archive, there is a wealth of info in there.
