They are non-transferable but I believe sellers may buy and register them in their customers name.

hah...i went over to the forums to see if any of you guy's had started any trouble, and i noticed that the most activity that his forum has had was today with 12 users at once...buisness must be booming.

--- Quote from: DreamArcades on May 12, 2005, 02:25:01 pm ---Yes you are correct. DA's even has a contract with StarRoms that specifies how we can and cannot do this.

Then you're past the hardest part. Cleaning up the art to remove Nintendo and Namco characters is a must, though; these two companies are very litigous, and one letter from Foley will be enough to get their lawyers to do his dirty work for him. There are many talented individuals here who may be able to provide you with non-infringing art for a nominal fee (or more likely a product sample :) ).

I think it'd be a riot if we started a project announcement thread there where we photoshop their cabinets with subtle adjustments and then claim we built them from scratch and got the roms online.
