Very strange Golden Tee at the Auction
paigeoliver:
IT doesn't sell anything in the original Golden Tee line anymore, which is the reason they are officially in Mame now. There are mame cabinets and bootleg cabs in every auction, and this is no different.
Being as crappy as you described it is probably a home made conversion of some sort.

Selling MAME goes against the MAME Liscense

I didnt say anything about selling , he wanted a multigolden tee , he can make one.

It wasn't crappy, it was nice really. It had a plexi cover on the CP, and the machine was nice.
I left out that it had Golden Tee Classics. All these games are active IT games, even the old ones like 3d are still supported. Big trouble for the Mame scene if IT wants to go after copyright laws.
The main point here is that if IT sees these machines, you will have a whole new fight on Mame's hands.
If somebody emulates all the cherry masters, that's a very big industry to fight.
paigeoliver:
I have seen Golden Tee in Mame cabinets for years, nothing new here. iT still supports those games, but they no longer sell them, they are no longer a revenue generating machine for them. If they are still selling Classic upgrade chipsets that is only because they still have them in stock and because they haven't wised up enough to realize that they can't sell new upgrade chipsets for $300 when ops can buy the whole board with the upgrade chipset on the secondary market for $60.
The Cherry Master industry is a grey market industry, those machines are illegal in lots of places, and are always getting siezed by the police and such. I am pretty sure the boards come from overseas and the cabs are assembled here by dozens of little itty bitty companies. There isn't really a unified Industry out there to FIGHT, and what industry there is wants NO attention whatsoever.
fredster:
Golden Tee and Golden Tee II, not the new Style Golden Tee like 3d and plus.
This is different.
