Testdrivers about to go completely..

[Damian]

The TESTDRIVER system has been removed, all drivers are now enabled working or not,
<]Haze[> this decision was made by several members of the development team. The drivers
<]Haze[> that were previously TESTDRIVERS are still marked as GAME_NOT_WORKING so can be
<]Haze[> filtered out easily with a front-end. Please note, the enabling of these drivers
<]Haze[> does not indicate they're any closer to working than when they were first added
<]Haze[> and in many cases it could still be several years before they work depending on
<]Haze[> when they're worked on and how difficult they prove to be. We're always looking
<]Haze[> for talented programmers to work on and improve Mame, some of these drivers could
<]Haze[> be a good place to start (others may be near impossible to fix)
<]Haze[> how does that sound?

sounds lame. Why did they decide to do this anyway? How many people actually compile their own MAME build? I bet 99.9% of users just download one.

Sounds like a hidiously bad idea to me, all that is going to do is generate a new wave of illiterate fuckwits asking why non-working games from ex-testdrivers dont work.
