oh look, more trolling from the usual shitstains instead of actually accepting that the advice being posted is correct, and that shock, horror, MAME is actually a legal piece of software with legally binding license terms.

what a community you have here.

only reason I still post is to stop the trolling idiots here from misguiding people with their bad information and advice.

So when will the legal actions commence?

You know one of the reasons so many people don't post on MAME's own forums or MW anymore and you can see tumbleweeds there, is that they dislike being bashed with condescending BS morality by people arguing legality when they are the very ones dumping, coding and providing what must be the #1 software in the world made for playing countless pirated games, and motivated droves to do so for the past two decades.

But go on, keep ridiculing yourself chasing people around over their internet hangouts, pop in brandishing a cross, foaming and spluttering they're all wrong and bad and will go to hell, that's quite entertaining! sure helps MAME and certainly doesn't make people regret ever thanking mamedev for their work or one day agreeing on whatever topic with you, also.

To make things even more interesting, I think we should collect money to equip you with a powerful megaphone.
Because accelerationism is a healthy thing for fools lost in absurd contradictory delirium and who don't realize they're harming themselves and their surroundings.

The only reason why you post here as you have some credibility as a coder but not as an advocate of morality. 

If any part of what I am stating is incorrect, please furnish some credible proof.  Yet you post on here knowing full well that you will get a reaction.  I like responding to your posts to pick out the nonsense you generate.  Like I have said in the past posts, that I like you.  What you dribble out on here doesn't change that.  It is just we are seeing some good coming out of MAME for a change, and you are acting like the "primordial man seeing the moon at the first time and throwing rocks at it".

I am just reminding you of the history of the project for the past twenty or so years of free reign to emulate whatever you seen fit, regardless of the IP infraction.  Big deal.

Unlike you David I will just put some references here to back up my point, and yours too funnily enough:

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.917.1648&rep=rep1&type=pdf

https://scholarship.law.berkeley.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1617&context=btlj

https://open.mitchellhamline.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1062&context=cybaris

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/asi.23875

This last one sets to discuss video game preservation, but there is no discussion that the said archive should play the games as an application. 

Lots of stuff in their respective bibliographies.  Should keep you guys up most nights or help with insomnia.  ;)

To get back on track, I'm liking the look of the Golden Tee machine, Happ Trackball too  :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

Everything that was shown needs to be taken with large grains of salt.

Obviously this CES show, is just for showing off prototypes, some licensees, and
demo units.

They want to include real arcade parts, but its not a done deal.

There might be 2 versions, a lower priced unit, with lesser parts, and regular marquee,
and a more expensive edition with a lit marquee.

They said that hopefully by E3, they will have a better idea of what pricepoints and units will be available.

Agreed.  I think it was good of them to have a proper showing/display. 

I felt that this year's CES was severely lacking, but I am looking forward to E3.

You would think with the shaky rollout of V1, they’d want all the i’s dotted and t’s crossed before they showed off things they might not have a license to.

This is nothing new.  You get speculation with all kinds of products.  If you look at cinema, there are always previews of scenes that does not appear in the finished production.  Since CES gets global attention why not bring out proposed cabinets to invoke some hidden IP whale to get in contact with them. 

Since online vendors have been selling unlicensed artwork for two decades, and only one person had the balls to shut them down, I would look at any said declaration of bringing said goods to market as a simple measured risk assessment. 

It is only funny to you, due them taking the time to bring a stable product out of the retro chaos of 2018 and the previous two decades. 

It is not funny to see a company taking a sensible approach to this niche market, and being openly mocked for doing so on this respectable board, of all places.  ::)

Oh, and did they change the name of this respectable board to Buy Your Own Arcade Cabinet? I missed the memo.

It is not funny to see a company taking a sensible approach to this niche market, and being openly mocked for doing so on this respectable board, of all places.  ::)
No it's hilarious that you think the rub-off graphics/chip-wood/dead pixels/fisher price controls was a sensible approach.  ::)

These cash-grab trend riders need to be openly mocked for cutting corners for their bottom line. I'm all for saving a buck, but if you compromise the integrity of your product and pass it off as an authentic experience, then you deserve all the backlash this niche market gives you.

I think the vast majority of businesses are cash-grab. Money is the name of the game after all.

I think the control panel graphics issue is legit, and hopefully they resolve that for this release. If you had issues with the controls, I really didn't, but if you did, it seems you are not alone and the trackball they chose for Golden Tee is Happ and the controls for MK appear to be different than the SF cab, so perhaps those are upgraded too.

Based off what I've seen, I'm not really a wall-arcade kind of guy, but I did like the bartops. I might love the Mortal Kombat. I have never liked ergonomics with a cocktail, so no interest there. If the wall light is a Galaga ship, I'm interested.

I liked the previous release and I'm going to remain optimistic for this new release. Why not? I mean, why be so pessimistic about a product you haven't put your hands on yet?

Of course!  My beef is that they're touting these things as authentic experiences. During last year's Evolution 2018 fighting game tournament they had Pro Street Fighter players endorse these cabinets through poorly scripted streaming video ads. (cringe worthy as well) They mentioned "they felt like how it was BITD".

It's fine to make money, just don't falsely claim your product is something it's not.

Another big issue aside from the CP graphics and controls was the LCD's. There are various reports of dead pixels and terrible viewing angles.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!  They have already set a precedence and a quality bar, with no real forthcoming statements that V2 is going to fix some of these issues. 

So, as pessimistic I may be, I've got no reasons to think otherwise.

Not really.  I also got the owner to buy a xbox for the break room.  The vets who worked there really liked call of duty, said it was like looking for the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- in Iraq.  Better than playing bubble bobble I guess.

 So stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

I think they are going to have trouble actually bringing the NBA Jam machine to market. Why? The licensed for all the players expired a long time ago, so they would have to approach EVERY single player and make new deals with them (which wont be cheap) or make them all "generic" players and give them a number instead of a name (which is a pretty big change to the game).

I've also heard "rights" issues are why machines with TMNT and The Simpsons are not likely ever to happen. Basically any game that was based on a film or TV show will be hard to make happen. Or if it does happen, itll be MORE expensive for the same machine because of the "extra" costs.

I think they are going to have trouble actually bringing the NBA Jam machine to market. Why? The licensed for all the players expired a long time ago, so they would have to approach EVERY single player and make new deals with them (which wont be cheap) or make them all "generic" players and give them a number instead of a name (which is a pretty big change to the game).

I've also heard "rights" issues are why machines with TMNT and The Simpsons are not likely ever to happen. Basically any game that was based on a film or TV show will be hard to make happen. Or if it does happen, itll be MORE expensive for the same machine because of the "extra" costs.

And that's the rub.

Of all the games I was nostalgic for, the quarter pumpers were my biggest disappointment. Credit buttons and games designed to eat quarters is a bad combination for me. I remember when I first discovered Mame, first stop - Gauntlet. I loaded up so many credits. I loved hearing the "dong!" sound it made to mean I had another 200 health. 20+ levels later, realizing the enemies really had no power over me since I could easily add more credits.... well, some arcade magic was lost for me that day.

NBA Jam is different though. It's a fun game. Not for me, I don't really like sports games, but I know it was a fun game for many.

Yeah, my son and I one afternoon played over 100 levels of Gauntlet to see what happened when you hit 100. What happens? Nothing.

I know what you mean. I still enjoy them though, but unlimited quarters DOES take the edge out of some games though. I played the Xmen arcade game and did special moves over and over again (which they decrease your health).

Hi FF can you (or anyone) show me an image that shows Arcade 1UP is using MAME or FBA, and not some GUI that looks like it?  Need to literally say MAME anywhere.  Thanks.


All the info you could ever want including screen captures,  boot logs, etc...

Have fun.

I'll just say this.  We are the end consumer and can't help what they put on these machines.  While I have issues with the way they put mame on there I can't help it and I'm not going to rain on everyone's parade that wants to buy one nor am I going to let that hold me back if I ever decide to get one considering I would hack it anyway.  I appreciate Haze's enthusiasm, but man, it would be nice if we could have a single conversation about mame where he doesn't chime in and go on a tie raid.  Either you are the head mame dev or you aren't.  You can't really serve as it's sole representative if you aren't anymore than any of us can speak for every person on this side of the equation. 

I love ya man, but you've got to calm down about stuff that is out of your control.  Take it from me, it's bad for you.  Also please stop calling people names.  That's a real no-no in my book even though I've unfortunately done it myself a few times.  Try not to take that path.

There's plenty of information in that reddit thread. If you buy a machine and hack it.

It would be nice if they started throwing some newer games on these. I was 90% there on a $168 Rampage cabinet but I went and replayed it and that’s a rough game that’s difficult to play now.

The Mortal Kombat games still hold up for the most part.  I think a cabinet with all the Metal Slugs on it would kill but that would require SNK to stop releasing over-priced worthless crap for a few minutes.  Games any newer than that would probably require a better processor, so it probably isn't going to happen.
