| rchadd:
just been looking at the info page on the Jpac as i am going to by a jamma wired cocktail table and i want to mame it. http://www.ultimarc.com/jpac.html At bottom page it says following. Why is this? Surely i can wire up the coin door switch to the J Pac like i did with an I Pac in my othe cab? Important Legal Note. For legal reasons we must state here that the J-PAC is not designed to be used in revenue-earning applications where a credit mechanism is used. The J-PAC contains no specific interface functionality for any credit device. Although it has inputs which connect to the JAMMA coin signals, these are designed such that activating a switch connected to them causes the MAME "coin" keycodes (5 or 6) to be sent. These are designed to be used with panel pushbuttons not coin doors or note acceptors. |

For legal reasons, they say that, but you can certainly wire it up to a coin switch, as long as you do not use your mame machine for profit :police: |

You can wire it up, but you can't use it in a revenue-generating environment. It hasn't passed all the government required tests to be used in "official" gaming/gambling devices. |

It's just MAME trademark BS. Ignore it. (and sounds like you have ALOT of reading to do, if you really want to know what this is all about :-D ) |

Actually that disclamier was up at Andy's site long before the MAME trademark issue developed. |
