While I'm ranting about Ultracade, Look at his "usblinx". I'm not an expert, but can anyone name the emulators besides MAME that can support dual trackballs. If he thinks MAME is soo illegal, why is he selling products aimed for it? The dude is a walking contradiction. I hope he gets ZERO support from the industry. I know for a FACT he won't from Namco, he was already busted for selling their ROM's illegally (how soon we all forget huh?). He already demanded money from people with his illegally filed MAME trademark, he already pulled numerous auctions on ebay... Yet people think the MAMEdevs are the bad ones. ::) Yeah, what have they ever done to make you're life more enjoyable? Beware Haze, the only way Foley will ever get distribution rights is with DRM. He doesn't want ROM's that will be compatible with MAME because it isn't his. He's aiming for the cabinets, the ROM's, and the emulator. Then nobody can compete without paying the "Foley Fee"TM. He doesn't care about fixing old boards, his concern is maximizing profit margins. |

It can be argued that his grabbing the phrase MAME was possibly legal (unethical, but legal) since it was not being used in a commercial fashion. The logo, on the other hand, was copyrighted material that was not his in any shape or form. --- End quote --- Kevin, read what I pointed out to you on the governments USPTO site. --- End quote --- |

FYI all of you... When I said "Like Napster" I was not comparing the two apps' functions. I was referring to this: Napster was fine as an underground tool and it was tolerated for quite some time until it became too popular and received mainstream attention. The inevitable outcome was that Napster died. It was a victim of it's own success. Kevin said: "MAME is the victim of its own success right now. Hopefully things will settle down and once the dust clears we can all have a clearer view of where things are headed..." To which I replied "Like Napster". Do you guys understand the comparison now? ~Ray B. |
