What are the specs of your pc?
Can you send me your .ini file?

'tis an AMD Phenom II X4 955 @ 3.2GHz, with 4 gig of RAM, and a Radeon HD 4800 (holy crap!, just looked up when those came out! need an upgrade!). Maybe that's what it is.

there is no mame.ini, clearly all default.

Hopefully this hasn't already been posted...

The whole Jaffa Cake/Jaffa Biscuit debacle was cleared up back in 91... HMRC went after McVities for non payment of VAT... VAT is payable on chocolate-covered biscuits, but not on chocolate-covered cakes.

The tribunal ruled in favour of McVities - they concluded that Jaffa Cakes are CAKES not biscuits.

If I remember the clincher was down to what happens when they go stale... biscuits go soft when stale and cakes go hard.

Stale Jaffa Cakes go hard. Case closed.

I am a bit behind on the podcasts but quickly catching up. I just came on to post almost exactly the same thing, but got well beaten to it!

What happens when jaffa cakes go stale, wasn't the only deciding factor, but was a major one (others were ingredients, texture and that sponge was a substantial part).

The case is held on records at HMRC here: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/vfoodmanual/vfood6260.htm
