Xmame Mailing List

- The xmame mailing list is intended to be a technical forum for xmame developers, that is,

  - To exchange ideas for producing a better xmame.

  - To share patches and bug notifications.

  - To study new design strategies.

  - To expose problems and learn know-how.

- The Xmame mailing list is not a forum about playing games (but everyone on the list plays...); so please

  - Don't use the list to ask about ROMs.

  - Don't ask about non-UNIX ports of MAME or MESS, just about MAME and MESS, xmame and xmess.

  - Don't ask about implementing a game. Just search the docs and contribute yourself (you'll enjoy twice: programming and playing...).

  - Don't show your last high score in xxx game (we are interested in programming, and then playing, in this order).

- Copyright notice: NEVER, I repeat NEVER send ROM images to the list. (But you can tell us where to retrieve them... ;-) )

If you want to send a personal mail to the xmame/xmess coordinator, send to the address below. Everyone who contributes to xmame/xmess should subscribe to the xmame/xmess mailing list.

- Mailing list:Xmame-request@toybox.twisted.org.uk

- Xmame/xmess coordinator: gold@aros.net

That's all. Enjoy xmame!
