Dream Arcades LLC announces the first ever agreement With MAMEDev to distribute
Crazy Cooter:
I'm very glad to see this.
RayB:
"first ever"? You sure about that? I'd check up on Hanaho's PC cabinet before making that claim...
nipsmg:
I'm thoroughly convinced this is a bad idea.
Not only does this put MAME under even more public/commercial scrutiny, but that whole "playing games is just a side effect thing" kinda goes out the window when you're commercially licensing the software specifically to play games.
*sigh*.
DreamArcades:
The version of MAME we'll use will only play licenced games. All others will be disabled. The MAMEDev's didn't want compensation. I am guessing it's better for them from a legal prospective.
Like Alan guessed we are going to be using a custom build.

1UP:
It is a condition of the Mame trademark license that you MUST create a custom build that can only play the games you have legally licensed from StarROMs, or any other authorized party.
