"That said, I think MAME is just *dying* to be rewritten in C++ - all
those Machine/Driver structures and function tables are just C++ objects done

If that was all of the language that you used.. fine
But no one ever does that.
By the time you're done, you end up with a big fuzzball of mangled
names that is a nightmare to debug.
Contrary to programming wisdom of the 90's, plain old C is just fine,
thank you.

ps. yes, I'm back from vacation. didn't do much video game stuff, mostly
was digging for 70's minicomputer docs/sw. Did find a few things at
one stop I did make, though (S16 schems, Turkey Shoot manual, Lethan
Enforcers schems)
