Forgive me if I'm wrong.  Everyone keeps saying MAME is going to be illegal.  I have seen it said that arcade boards can ONLY be legally backed up from an original board.  (You can't use someone elses ROM to fix a board even if you actually own.)  So, by that, MAME can NEVER be declared illegal software on it's own.  I can HAVE it, and I can back up my boards, with the intent of only repairing them if needed.  (I know we can't all burn all our own ROMs, but the possibility has been put there for us.
Does that sound reasonable?

Steve

(I own about 35 boards, I WOULD buy the hardware to back up if the ROMs weren't already available).

BYOAC's longest thread ever? When will this thread lose momentum?

Now that mamedevs are "in the open", pursue mame as illegal

Note DF has already made statements to the effect that "since mame emus capcom, it is an illegal sf package"

Can't happen.

You sure about that? When RetroFX GnG was active we had a couple discussions with Hanaho, and I'm pretty sure their emulator was written by Larry Bank. In fact, Larry's core emulator is what RetroFX GnG was built off of (with Larry's permission).
