I dont understand, how is seeding & leeching any better than buying a set of DVD's? Hell I bet that dude IS a seeder that you all owe your collections to perhaps.

What Jedi & holy methods did you guys use to acquire your roms (rhetorical question of course)? My first set was 6+ years ago was a DVD collection on ebay, the next 2 came from an online source in Istanbul. Having roms is having roms guys, regardless of how found.

You guys who talk about preservation are full of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, no one builds an awesome machine with custom artwork packed with a anodized spinners and flyweight, dedicated 4 way, Happ trackball & LED buttons after joining a BYOC forum are in it just to document zip files never opened. Pffft I though you guys were gamers, not librarians! Man up with me, play robotron drunk eating wings on a huge awesome machine!

Dont misinterpret my rant as trolling, I still like you guys  :cheers:

no no, you don't get it.. we pretend to be librarians and read the books when no one is looking.

im kind of with you. although this is technically bad, how much is this guy making on this? $10 after dvds? it almost isnt even worth the money for the work of burning them. i feel like he is charging for the blank dvds and the burning of them, not for the software on the discs.

I barely was able to convince her that the mame one would fit in our apt.. but after people started noticing it and commenting about how neat and cool it will be to have one she's lightened up about it.  I swear we have a line of friends who want to play it when it's ready... I'm aiming for September.

I'll get some actual cabs when we have an actual house to put them in. Hopefully

same thing happened here, she said absolutely no way not even one cab until i got one anyways and her friends came over and couldnt stop playing, now i have 3 cabs, a project cab and a pinball and she hasnt complained in a long time!
bradx:
also: reported.  dont care if he is making $1, $10, or $100 the mame license specifically states it cannot be used in a commercial setting or as part of a for profit enterprise.  if i could make $10 profit just to copy a couple dvds i would do that all day long!  and no, i have never sold a machine with roms on it.
