Malas noticias:
Noticia copiada de la web oficial de MAME GP32.
En resumen, que hasta que no libere el código fuente, Franxis no puede hacer nuevas versiones de MAME (Y borrar los ficheros de la página para que nadie los baje) hasta que libere el código fuente, lo cual puede llevarle un par de meses.

Bad news, i have been contacted by Haze (MAME Team) to release the source code of my MAME port. This the message I have sent to him:

Hi Haze,

I'm the author of the MAME 0.34 port for GP32 console.

I have been warned by some friends, then i will try to explain my status now:

I'm a 30 years old spanish guy who finished university studies 8 years ago, i'm working in a telecomunications company during this years, but i have not done the last year university end project, then i'm not titled engineer yet, to get this professional qualification i have to finish that end project.

My project is the MAME port for GP32 console. I'm currently writing the documentation of the project. Then I'm not able to release the source code of the port until i have ended the documentation and the project has been aproved.

I think it will take 2 months to get project finished and aproved. I think I have two alternatives:
1. You could give me these two months to end the project and after i will release the source code.
2. If not i could remove the emulator binary from Internet and release again with the source code when i have ended the university project.

Please tell me what do you think about that, and please share this e-mail with interested people.

And this is the answer from Haze in the MAME Official forums:

You should remove the emulator until you are able to release the source.

There is a simple agreement that if you release a binary build of Mame you must post the source, as you are unable to do that at this time then you aren't permitted to post the binary.

And this is another message from him in MAME World forums:

soon isn't good enough. the source must be released with the binary or its an illegal distribution.

i'll check again in a few days, if there is no source the hosting company will be contacted and a request will be made to remove the files.

I have no options. The emulator binary is now removed from this page and i advise other web-pages to remove the binary too. I will distribute the new version of the MAME port and also the source code when i would be able to do it...

Sorry guys. Keep tunning...
