I still install the same pack on my diamond rom and it will work on the pro as well. I still can't play pacman, but frogger is a classic! Tonight I'll round up my collection of g-sensor games and look at making another megapack. Off to search for games!

No, it only has to waste a resource. Flash space is a resource, even if you have gobs of it. In fact, the term came about from the size of software executables increasing substantially without any significant increase in functionality (code bloat). Bloatware is an extrapolation of the term, often used to describe software that comes with extra, unwanted/useless items.

If that is the case why do so many ROMS include TP3D? That takes up a TON of space and it definitely slows the system down when used. Not everyone loves TP3D so that too can be considered bloatware.

In fact many of the ROMS the tweaking to TP3D is really the main emphasis. (Definitely not a knock of the ROMs, they are all great)

I guess what the OP is asking is why there isn't a ROM where games are more prominent.

Why cook in stuff that most users WONT use? I don't understand you guys.

Why load up 20 games and make it standard in your rom when 70% of your user base MAY not use the games AT ALL...

As for TOUCHFLO being cooked it, it's a big overhaul of the windows interface which everyone hates anyways.

Which, of course, is why there are kitchens. Cook in what YOU want. And .cabs. .cabs and the magic of autoinstall will achieve a similar effect.

In asnwer to your question, because there's plenty of free flash space, so why not?

It may be prettier, but it still stucks. I cuss at touchflo way more than I cussed at the today screen.

Here is the way I see it .... why make roms for your user base ... NO it should be about you and what you use YOU SHARE not build FOR ... I say this because YOU can't satisfy everybody and if you did that you would never satisfy yourself

Just curious.

i also have all of those games in my rom.

As it stands, 80% of users here don't want to touch kitchen. Hence why they rely on others to create the roms for them.

I personally find absolutely no use to cook in that much junk that most users don't use.

But the great thing about this is that there is a diversity of different roms available.

You have the clean roms, half loaded roms, and fully loaded roms (Merdinh's rom)

So they always have choice.

You guys always yap about kitchens like everyone can just pick it up and go nuts. Yes it's easy, but its not for everyone. Period

Because you drive a ferrari, do you drive it @ 200mph every day? OR AT ALL?

Because you have 10,000 in your bank account you spend it all?

Just cause you got the space doesn't mean u throw junk in the trunk...
