: That's great but uh... the whole point of emulation is to get the original roms. Someone out there must have them. We know there is at least one machine out there, but I'm sure someone has the roms. It's nice to see new sequels being made though - they just won't end up in MAME that's all.

The guy who owns the machine is not willing to dump the roms to the public unless the LEGAL owners of the game give him permission. He also seems content not to bother looking into that aspect... as it took him a ton of effort just to get the pieces of the game in the first place.

I can understand his perspective (though I may not like it...) ... especially since the rom is so rare... that everyone would point the finger at him... if fingers were to be pointed.

So... I did try Midway... but it seems that they could care less about anything that isnt X-box, Ps2 or has potentail for over arrond a million$ in sales. Big companies dont seem to care about the Artistic, or Historical side of things... rather, they just seek to satisfy thier financial goals period.

Well, at least I tried.

Sincerely,
Steve

: : Mark Incitti had started to work on it... but it got lost in the shuffle till I pestered and pushed him to complete it ;) ... as well as having him add new features... Including the unique flat faced blocks found in MM2... and some new features not in either version, such as rising/falling elevators... and much more!
