I can't imagine why you would want to hack MAME to get the same result. |

I'm no legaleze expert. But I would guess that mame in a commercial setting might be allowed if it were not available to the purchasing public? Like in a break room or private office? Where no obvious commercial gain is obtained? Other than happy employees which in turn get happy customers or something. I could definately see not allowing its use in a lobby or public area where it could be used to entice customers. My kids dentist has several upright arcades in the waiting room for kids to play. I could understand not having a mame machine in there. But if the dentist wanted to have a mame in his private office or in the break room to let off a little steam, would that not be allowed? fyi, I have no intention of moving my heavy $%^&$ cabinet to my workplace! |

as long no credits is used, or dont plans to sell cabs, I can't see any problems at all to changing the startup sequence. I guess you could do a autohotkey or such wrapper to been run from your frontend, instead of directly run mame.exe, which so can show the logo while the wrapper run mame? That would works with any frontend as long all args is passed to the mame. I think this is a idea I could include in my frontend, so it show any loading or logo screen when run a game (since it allways take some secs to start it).... But better to do a wrapper for that. |
