Isn't the best way to find bugs in software to release it to the public that uses it in ways the developers never dreamed of ( if they had, the bug wouldn't be there in the first place). My original comment was to make bug fixes and the ROMS public domain. They are only ofuse to people who bought ataris, and distribution would be much cheaper and faster. I have eproms I can program - why should I pay $100 for bug fixes in new roms?
