No.24003 hap Developer 4 hours ago edited on: 4 hours ago	This is not a bug report. Feature requests are permitted, but I'm not so sure about keeping this open. "Can't you guys just copy emulation thing xyz from open source licensed emulator abc?" Answer: someone must be willing to lazily port it over and do all the needed changes to make it fit in MAME. - and then having to maintain it too, copying over fixes that are made upstream.
No.24004 Kale Developer 3 hours ago	There's a placeholder Riva 128 up to GeForce emulation, we lack an house of cards about it. Closing because this isn't a bug report to begin with.
No.24005 Kale Developer 3 hours ago	Also: xbox/chihiro uses its own emulation (NV2A) which is actually decent with the combiner enabled (in debugger), and incredibly slow for a number of reasons.
