Things I Want To Be Knowing About
=================================

Last updated: (18 Aug 1998)


Let me know if you have any problems at all. Well.. first of all consult the
FAQ or the generic documentation - there's a good likelihood any game
problems you are having aren't related specifically to the ARM version. The
generic readme files tell you exactly what is supposed to run and what
will not, and what needs additional resources alongside the ROM images
in order to work fully. If any games do behave different with the RISC OS
version, then I want to sort it out.

If (when? :-) ) you do get problems with the ARM version, I can be contacted
at the addresses in the 'contact' file.	Please give as *much* information
about any crashes
as you can.. like, for example, any screen output generatedm, machine and
processor type, RISC OS version, the type of FS you store your ROM images in,
amount of memory you're allocating to the emulator, etc.. Also, when I do something
about it, please let me know if the result worked!!! There is *nothing* worse
than someone telling me it 'crashes sometimes', I dig the details out of
them, provide feedback, and they never send a response back letting me know
if my changes worked or not, so I have to chase them up again. Similarly
people who say 'oh this version seems a bit slower' - with well over 600
games and a million different configurations within MAME, for example, this
comment is effectively useless to me.

I'm interested in any ways it can be improved, and I'm sure there are
millions of them, in addition to trying to find out why women manage to go
through so much more toilet paper, or why some like to order a pizza with a
specific topping, only to peel the topping off because they like the taste
the topping leaves on the pizza, but not the topping itself. Or why Pringles
last about a year longer than normal crisps. I'll always try my very best to
reply.

I will try to port the latest sources as soon as I possibly can.. this
seems to mean within a day or two of it being released at present..so far
I've managed to get RISC OS releases of MAME out quicker than Mac and Amiga
versions for quite a while. From MAME 0.31 onwards, the ARM version should
be released simultaneously with the DOS version.
