1. They are, and I don't find a logical reason why you would think they aren't given SNK clearly let them do this though a license.
2. No I don't, I think they licensed dotemu to do what they did. And then it appears dotmu swiped some ROMS online instead of being given them by SNK and licensed a crappy out of date emulator with some issues.
3. Other than Neo Turf Masters, League Bowling, or Baseball Stars I wouldn't be caught dead using touch controls, I have a steelseries controller I sync up.
And it's one other thread, not four, the baseball stars 2 post. I was just supporting lion3 on this with his comment is all, nothing more. If anything I could see some humor in if I were trying to defend that hot mess the Neo Geo X considering the crap Tommo pulled, but nothing there deserves any praise between the hardware and the stolen emulation packages they didn't have a license for, and SNK must have cared since they pulled the rug out from under them unlike dotemu.
