Males...or maybe I should say 'men!'. (I'm wondering when, perhaps, one of these days I might be pm'd by one of these females, of whatever age, that saint thinks visit, or at least wishes will be comfortable visiting, here with a message something to the effect of 'hey, I'm glad not all guys are sexist prigs'. Of course, as long as I don't mention anything about make-up being inherently bad, etc, I'll probly come off on top.)

So, I wrote them an email about some parts I needed and they said I could come down and pick em up. While I was there, I was pleasantly surprised....These are some good guys. While I was there I asked them about the cabinet I saw and they said they do not ship with MAME, just their licensed games. The shop must have added them.

Well... let me tell you, if they can provide a license for MK2, I'd be impressed. The fact is they don't (see my post above.

Also, a page on their site (http://www.gamecabinetsinc.com/login.shtml password='roms') clearly lists MAME roms for purchase from other sites. Also, how on earth are they going to ship a cabinet with only their licensed games (which include all the Mortal Kombats) and not run them? Do they have dozens of boards in there or their own custom emulators?

btp2k2:

I bet they are probably the Midway arcade treasures collections. Any one can buy em, and here is a list of games....lets see if it matches up with what they offer...

Sorry for the odd formating, this came from Midway's site directly....I know there are also similiar collections for Taito and Atari....so it isn't a stretch.....


Interesting about the roms for sale thing....very interesting....would seem that sending someone to a site that you can obtain these games would kind of break the license agreement, or at least cause some hardship between the two. I don't know man...it's a weird one. On one side, I looked at the list above against the list they provide on their site, and except for a few other games, they are almost identical. So that tells me they are most likely just including those collections with their cabinets (and remember in their response to you, he said "All the original disks for the games are included"), which also means they are full of it when they say they have a license. Then the flip side is why have a link to MAME burners? Just doesn't add up....



siddhartha:

Yup, the lists are similar... but I thought that the Arcade Treasures stuff was for consoles...

Granted, something doesn't add up.

I think what's happening is they have downloaded all the MAME roms for all the games in all the Treasures collections and purchased the Treasures (e.g. PS2 version). So, they spend $100 or so on the Treasures and think that entitles them to the actual arcade ROMS for distribution with MAME.
