- Things I Want To Be Knowing About

- 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.
