Mettiamoci il cuore in pace dopo questo post di IQ

CITAZIONE
As it is, we (the FBA team), have not been contacted or asked not to work on any games at all. However, that being said, there are two reasons for the driver to remain private (at least for a while), the first being that the MAME team would prefer this not be added. FBA contains enough code from MAME that it could almost be considered a derivative build and as such, we need to respect them and their license as we expect others who use our sources to do the same. The second reason being that one of the members of the FBA team has a young family, while it wouldn't be a big deal for me to get sued (I'm childless and poor lol), I think even the possibility of legal action should be avoided to protect the wellbeing of that family.

I know it sucks and I would really rather make everything public (I'm a firm believer in open source, open ideas, open information, etc), this is just one of those times in which my feelings are not important.

I will keep working on this (and any other Cave/PGM game that is shared with me) and try to perfect the simulation/emulation so that when the driver can be made public, it will be worth the wait.
