SteveJ Please release code for zvg/mame .137 for windows
I had a sneaky suspicion about this particular topic and now that things have started to wind up a bit, I have discovered that I am correct...
SteveJ-You really HAVE TO post the original code for the command line version of mame for windows .137 that you worked hard to make work with ZVG. I understand that this is YOUR work, however, when you work on mame, it is an ongoing project that all can add into and you have prevented this, even after repeated requests, you still ignore me. It is actually a LEGAL deal, there is no owner of the code and if you work on mame, you HAVE to SHARE. You HAVE TO SHARE!!
Here's a quote from Haze over at Byoac on my request thread.
"The problem is that by not releasing the sources he's not only stalling any progress, but is also in direct violation of the MAME license agreement which has always been explicit in the requirement for sources for any modifications to be made available.
This isn't about one platform being superior, instead simply one guy failing to fulfill his legal obligations.
This is why I've stated in the past that the new advanceMAME builds are bad too. No source means in the long run the entire community just loses out due to a handful of selfish b*****ds."
