Cracking Ultracade would be like cracking anyother new game out there.

I don't think we can crack it and toss it out on the internet for down load but, I do think we could buy a used one and open it up and post our findings.
Why used. Because I would not have agreed to the licences agreement.
I did not get it from the company so I am not bind-ed by that agreement
as far as the Roms for Mame or any of the old consoles that is no longer put out there. You can read what you want into the law. Its to unclear because it has not been proven in court as of yet
Atari corp had no problems with people opening the 800S and probing them. They even published books on how to's and even sent reps to the big user groups and gave demos and answered questions. I know because I was there. we would program many 2600 style games into the old 800's with basic and turbo basic
I personally think since I own most every old system out there and houndreds of the carts,cards,floppies and even hard drives (Atari black box) I can down load the Roms and play them on modern equipment. I am sick of buying a system and 2 years later the big companies want me to toss out all my games and buy there new system for big bucks and buy there games at even more big bucks.
This is covered in the fair use law.

I'd get yourself a really good lawyer before banking on that theory. Sounds weak at best.
