Ultracade is in Fry's Electronics. I think they can afford to ignore/offend this small community which, should be pointed out, is not part of Ultracade's target audience anyways. It's been pointed out before that no one is making tons of cash selling 3000$ arcade cabinets to home buyers. Why anyone would think that a BUILD YOUR OWN ARCADE CONTROLS member would want to BUY SOMEONE ELSES is beyond me.

Surprisingly, Ultracade's "Arcade Classics" ARE in fact for "Home Use Only" and are targeted at the home user.

I think the market for roms is much smaller than people realize. The whole put rom in folder and get stuff to work acctually has a big impact. I have burned copies of MAME32 where people just need to double click the game and play right from the CD, and they still can't remember to press 5 to put a coin in. People like software that installs itself and does everything for them. Roms are for the intermediate computer user and up.

which is another reason why we all need to buy an Arcade Legends machine from Ultracade to run our IROMS on ;)

"Arcade cabinet for sale with links to free Mame Bonsai."
That's a waste of title characters, with non keywords like "for sale with links to"
I chop out those words and make better use of good keywords. Oh hey, it's what people already do, hence the fury at t-molding and leg leveller listings being pulled!!!

[ sarcasm ] I was not aware that "home user" was the same as "BUILD YOUR OWN ARCADE CONTROLS member" [ /sarcasm ]
There's only one person this applies to and I think you know who that is. BYO-Ultracade != BYOAC.

BTW RayB I see that on your tag line you have 'Ray B and Lilgames are trademarks of Ray B'. I'm afraid that I have now filed a trademark claim for the use of the letter B after a first name and must ask you not remove all references to it or I will ask Saint to pull the offending posts. ;D ;D ;D
Yours faithfully
