| DreamArcades:
I just returned from a trip to find a letter from Ultracade |
| stevodevo:
Dang dude! sorry to hear that! |
| shmokes:
Ignore it. If you're not putting roms on your machines you aren't breaking the law. This would be akin to a company like Dell taking Shuttle to court because Shuttle sells barebones PC's that come without any operating system or software installed. There are thousands of PC games that play very well in an arcade cabinet, including many classic arcade games that can be purchased by your customers in the form of compilation discs such as Midway Classics and so on. |

tell em to pound sand. |

What was the deal with this in the end?. Did Ultracade successfully get the MAME tm?. Anyway surely if you remove any MAME branded art or emulation software you aren't doing anything they can challenge?. What end users choose to do after the fact is an issue for them surely. If you have a valid licence to distribute Atari roms then there must be someone in the emu community that can write you a dedicated proprietary emulator to package with the machine. If someone chooses to install additional games or software afterward then its up to them. The same as with any other computer. |
