Ban the mole. I do own a couple of PCB's (Ibara & Ketsui) but the Cave SH-3 driver's presence never bothered me. "Too new" games from Daifukkatsu onward weren't in there. Also, Cave has put enough extra content in their 360 ports to negate most advantages of playing the titles in MAME. Is ESPGaluda II Black Label in MAME? I didn't think so. Ketsupachi? Ditto.

Cave should get a 360 Ibara dual pack out with OG Ibara and Kuro Black Label. Stat. If they do, they'll have some more of my cash.

I think the prices on the the home use Akai Katana PCBs are too much, esp. considering that they are locked at free play. I do not think the PCBs cost $2000+ to make- the arcade ones priced high because they're meant to be sold to operators for business use. There should be a bigger price gap between a business use PCB and a home use PCB. Triple digit prices for a home PCB would be more reasonable, esp. considering that the hardware is ancient compared to home consoles.

I have one on my right hand, it's not very visible but it is there. I think I even see a hair growing out of it.
Oh, wrong thread.

Lol for sure. There might have been a defect there during development. Send back to owner.

I reckon it must be the mole that has voted on the first alternative in the poll. Big mistake, shouldn't have done that!
Any admin who can check it?!

Meanwhile, I looked into the history books for further evidence of shmup-member involvement in emulation controversies. See for yourself whose ancestor attended the trial:

Estebang · Post by **Estebang** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 6:41 pm

TonK was the only person I could imagine ratting us out to Cave, but it really seems to have been this Defected fellow.

Cave would have found out sooner or later even if no one told them, but we'd probably have DFK and AK functional by then, at the pace things were moving.

DMC · Post by **DMC** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 6:50 pm

I have noted that TonK has gotten a few votes. Maybe I put our best man (BIL) on it.
I've sent a pm to defected - it is now up to him to reply in this thread. Or else...
Meanwhile, I noted that mjclark has already moved on from the alleged letter writings to more physical means of demonstration:

Wait, the enemy made all these games?

Hmm, I doubt comrade TonK was involved, District Mole Capturer. He has past ties with the KDF who as we know prefer guns, knives and car bombs to letters when attacking a target. Given no MAME devs' houses have been blown up, I think those lunatics can be ruled out for now.

However, surveilance on MJ's sordid den of PCBs and CAVE merch continues to yield results!

Even more damningly he confessed to buying a copy of XII Stag, probably in protest at G-Net emulation in MAME! Only a deranged fanatic would go to such lengths to spit in the face of FREE ROMZ.

That "to do-list" says it all. Good catch, BIL!

I think, at this moment, we can write off Rancor. Sorry dude, I hope we didn't mess with your business. I tell my man Dragoforce to buy even more from ya.

Crap, I've been found out. Yes, just as I claimed sole responsibility for having videos removed from YouTube and you all fell for it, I hereby claim all responsibility for personally writing that letter to Cave. As you know, I travel to Japan every year, and I have inside connections with Cave there. They took me out to a Korean BBQ restaurant and we all got smashed on drinking makkori, and I let it slip that people on here emulate games (the horror). They have asked me to report on everyone on this forum, and they've asked me to make a list of everyone on here whom I suspect of emulating their games, so they can prosecutedt them to the full extent of the jam.

I don't know who Defected is, but it wasn't him. It was me. Oh yeah, and I was the one who went back in time to tell the Mayans about the end of the world in 2012. So when all the mass hysteria of the end of the world dies down when 2013 comes along and nothing's happened, it means that I trolled the Mayans just as I've trolled you and the others on this forum, Vamos. Lick me where I pee.

So what you're saying is that the mole might not be alone in this? that it could be a whole network we're dealing with?
