| Legal question regarding the sale of MAME Cabinets. |

| 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: http://mamedev.org/licrules.html You'll probably need the permission of the Mala creator to distribute his front end. |
