A Major update...

15 years ago, I was, as you were all aware, diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease.

For all those that know me personally, you will have been aware that in December 2025, I had a stroke - and had to have a brain scan to determine what kind of stroke I had and where it had hit (I have had a lacunar stroke). 

In April this year I had an appointment at the dementia clinic - and the bombshell was dropped on me - I had been misdiagnosed with dementia! They stopped the medication I have been taking for 15 years and I was told I had a minor cognitive impediment. I was told I should be happy at the news...

Well I am, but I am also very angry and feel betrayed and let down... a quarter of my life wasted - watching loved ones die from dementia-related illnesses and thinking that was going to be me... my lad dying on his death-bed, scared that he was leaving me because I had dementia - and all along I hadn't!

I have been to see my MP, I am currently with a solicitor who has been advising me of the further steps I need to take - because believe me - I will not let this go unaddressed!

Forum now upgraded to SMF 2.1.7.  As usual please report any errors, thanks very much.

Hi peeps. Thanks again DAD for sorting the activation email problem. I've been into the emulation scene for more than 25 years, right from the early MAME days. Was always pushing for them to delve into the fruity side of things. I played around with BFMulator and JPeMu, then MFME came along. Wow, what a game changer. Chris was truly a Wizard. I'm easing myself back into this stuff after a hiatus. My early days playing real machines were spent on Frog Hop and Nudges Unlimited, the latter of which was in my mate's bedroom and this was while we were still at school! Great days.

...or I will delete your arse within 30 days
