Pot meet kettle --- End quote --- It violates the original game license, but not the MAME license, b/c MAME tells you not to do this. In other words, if TopCat doesn't own at least a broken Galaxian board, he could theoretically be sent to jail or be sued by (I guess?) Midway. If TopCat charges a quarter per game to play Galaxian, with or without a broken PCB, the MAME team could be sued and MAME could be shut down. This has all been hashed out in http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=6;action=display;threadid=17873 so let's continue it there, if need be. |

whoaaa! I didn't mention anything about charging to use it ! I simply want to have a working cabinet without paying $100s for all the internals. its simply for pleasure and I'm quite confident midway could not be bothered taking me to court for using it in my front room considering i could put a playstation in it with a licenced copy of galaxians from ebay. I merely want it to act as original as possible and maybe buy another couple of trashed cabinets with a dedicated game which I can pick up for peanuts as I can't afford $1500+ for working original cabs. and thanks to BYOAC artwork is freely available to give my cab a real feel I would like to thank "Peale" for the great advice I have tried it and it works perfect cheers |

I would also like to add that I have been usig mame on my computer for about 5yrs and enjoy it very much with my hacked gamepad joystick controller box and have played most games its just I only love the ones I played as a kid which are Galaxians,Phoenix (the best) and 1941 (although I now like 1943) so I am hoping to have these in my garage quite soon. If I can't get original cabinets I will build them from the plans on jackobuds great site |
