MAMEdev is Pulling Auctions!

Pages: << < (30/62) > >>

MrTroy:

Honestly enough. How many times DO you have to use MAME in your auction? I mean it's like

Title: Keyboard encoder for use with Arcade Parts
Title: Arcade Part to PC encoder

That's two that didn't need to use MAME.

Description
blah blah blah....
Compatable with:
MAME (Recommended)
Super Karate Fighter Men
Ford
Namco's Super Pac-man for PC


Now saying
Title: Keyboard Encoder for Mame

just plain implies that it's for and only for MAME. I think that sucks. Just like saying "Floormat for Fords" makes people automatically think it's FOR Fords and that's it. If someone said Keyboard Encoder for Kid Kye's Super Juice Box game. That automatically - ugh. I 'm repeating myself. :(

Yeah, I mean seriousely. Everyone I knew had been complaining that the classic Nintendo games werent' avalible, so Nintendo releasing them on GBA sounded good on paper. But when I read that just ONE of those classics would be the price of a brand new GBA game, I threw my Nintendo Power across the room. I'm not going to pay that much! I just turned on my PC and played the rom, to wich I also owned the original game cartridge. If Nintendo had been selling a pack of 10 classic games for like 15-20 bucks, then I'd say that's reasonable.

Anyway though, with all this talk of items being pulled off of eBay, I am not worried. It will make it harder to search for items on eBay, sure, and it's definately not fair to vendors selling something billed "Mame compatable". And the "you are allowed to say Mame once in an ad"... IANAL, but even I know that that is complete and total BS. But as I said, I am not worried... People will still find ways to sell their machines. If someone has a MAME logo on their machine, all they have to do is take the picture into Photoshop and blur it out. If search bots are involved, then people will begin simply miss-spelling MAME or spacing it out like M A M E to keep the bots from detecting it. I'm not advocating breaking the law, but I'm just saying that when you try to kill a fly with a bazooka, all you're going to do is make a really big hole in the wall.

That's an excellent example.
