Hard Core Rikki Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) I'd say the most bothersome issues are interdev relations. I seem to recall the FBA author was regularly abused on mameworld, and the author of a superior MDEC decoding method for PS1 games proposed to contribute it to MAME but was flat out rejected.Development should IMO get more modularized, drivers aren't cutting it.There still is the problem of the licence, making it pretty much the same as useful as closed source, just that the code is released with every update. Jumping on the throats of anyone deviating from a highly restrictive (borderline fanatist) interpretation hardly helps either. The licence thing also makes little sense as pretty much all emulators explicitly state somewhere that they are not to be used commercially or bundled with ROMs/BIOSes (outside the scope of code licence terms).
