I wonder if he's got a will with a request for all his protos to have the ROMs released upon his death.

I wonder if he's got a will with a request for all his protos to have the ROMs released upon his death.
If the sellers are selling the games, why the fuck would they care if someone dumps the ROMs? They don't even own them anymore.
These super-hardcore types are fucking nuts.
If these games did get released, we'd play them for five minutes and then never bother with them again. Complaining about it is just giving these cock jockeys what they want.
There's only one way to find out.Quote:

I wouldn't give up something like Taito's Recalhorn (I'm sure thankful for that one being preserved) to get MM2 or PR2. Surely there are other missing proto games of that caliber. Since the owner of the MM2 machines has donated various ROMs to MAME, it'd be a shame to have proto sellers refusing to deal with him.
That said, hopefully the guy who sold him the MM2 protos will sunset his request someday. Let's not hear any April Fool's jokes about this when 4/1 rolls around. ;)
Neat.
I hope they don't dump the ROMs any time soon. As cool as it would be to play PR2 on MAME for half an hour and then forget about it, I'd rather see the arcade keep it as an exclusive to draw in more business.
It's been dumped for ages, but they haven't gotten it fully working.
