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.
