I think it would be wise to "shout from the rooftops" that no one should do business with such an unethical person. He made his gambit, and it clearly came back to strike him in the backside. Perhaps it is time to make ours...

Funny, but ultracade's main product is a kit to put in your existing jamma cabinet.

I know he's blaming mame for his sales slump, I think it is more of the fact of the prices.  Cut the price in half and you have something that looks attractive in a commercial environment.

 You should send in your emailed conversation to slashdot.  They'll put it on the top of the page.  (good advertising for you and it will make the point on what this guy is trying to accomplish).  The readers over there can help a LOT in a situation like this.

Fat_Trucker:

I don't think it computes that by attempting to eliminate MAME people still won't buy his products because they are priced way outside the resources of 99% of the hobbiest market.

I know they may have paid through the nose for the rights to the games that they distribute but those rights aren't worth the paper they are printed on if their products aren't competetively priced.

People who don't buy Ultracade aren't avoiding it because MAME cabs are cheaper, they are avoiding it because their prices are stratospherically unrealistic for the home market. Even without MAME as a competitor, how many people on these forums could afford to buy the cabinets and games at Ultracade prices?.....anyone?. People would simply switch to the much cheaper JAMMA/PCB market instead.

Chris:

Has anyone gotten a response from Mr. Hagelshaw yet?

This guy is insane, and I like the comparison of an Ipod and a MAME cab. Is it really wrong to advertise a cab that says it can play 4000 games, when it really can legally? What if you personally own a bunch of boards of various games? Don't ya legally own the game and can use it comercially or otherwise in a cab you built? And if this guy is just trying to stamp out piratcy of games, then why does he keep hitting up printers of marquees for cash? This guy is what we call a "jag-off" here in Chicago and is obviously talking out of his --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules--.
