Legal question regarding the sale of MAME Cabinets.
(1/7) > >>
sealslayer:
I have a few questions here regarding the sale of arcade cabinets, a few people have seen my cab and are now interested in owning one so I may start building them.

If I was to build a cabinet that is free play etc and sell it as a MAME cab whats the situation with copyright infringement etc.
I know that Rom's are a definite no for a start and if its running XP etc then the licence has to be sold with it,but what about programs like MAME and Mala.

From what I've seen the I-Pac isn't supposed to be used in a revenue earning machine so I can't see any problem in using it in a free play machine but what about MAME or Mala, can you advertise a machine for sale that's using these programs?
Is there anything that I may have missed out on?

You can find the rules for distributing MAME in a cab here:

You'll probably need the permission of the Mala creator to distribute his front end.
