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.

Xmame/xmess coordinator: gold@aros.net
That's all. Enjoy xmame!
In addition to/instead of posting bugs to the mailing list, you can report them to the MESS Bugzilla database at http://bugzilla.mess.org/, under the “XMAME/XMESS” category.
Lots and lots and lots of thanks to everyone for their great help on the xmame project. I would like to thank the following people and of course anyone I've forgotten.
Thank you all,
Hans
(Addendum: I'd like to send a big thanks to Hans for his fantastic work as longtime xmame/xmess maintainer, and also to those on the mailing list who have been most helpful during my transition to official maintainer. --Lawrence Gold)
