You can play hundreds if not thousands of games on arcade controls without ever once using an illegally gotten ROM or even MAME. Note - I am a fan of MAME, but MAME and arcadecontrols.com are two completely different entities with different goals.

That said, there are a few options:

1. Get the freely released ROMs at mamedev.org - currently there are 12 listed.

2. Purchase a HotRod joystick or ArcadePC upright cabinet from HanaHo, which come with fully licensed CapCom ROMs.

3. Buy any of the various PC compilations that have been released that have emulated or recreated versions of arcade classics.

4. Buy Dragon's Lair and other laser disc games from the legally licensed seller, Digital Leisure, and play them with their engines or use Daphne.

5. Try the hundreds of shareware/freeware arcade remakes and originals available from places like retroremakes.com, Big Fish Games, Alwar Entertainment, retro64.com, and many others.

6. Search the software forum on this web site for games that people are legally playing on their arcade controls.

It used to be that the only thing that was a guarantee to irritate me was to attack my integrity, but I've found that the other thing is the "if you're building arcade controls you must be a pirate" line that keeps coming up.

That is what got me fired up. Being new to emulator games I had no idea where to find them!

That's it, I got what I needed!

I think what actually got you kicked off was that you have an inflammatory posting style. How much pirated music does a person called digitaldj have on his I-Pod?   :police:

Matter of fact the 8,000 albums I have on my juke and dj setup I own and can prove it. But i was like any other dj that played gigs and got payed for the nusic I played as a public performance and is against copyright laws. I was busted in 2000 playing a huge new years eve party and cost me 10,000 fine and was lucky not to spend jail time. I was targeted because of a large collection of music. As it stands right now I have not played anymore gigs.

Look I wasn't looking to start a fight just voicing some opinions but I see that can't be done(good ol'e america huh!). As the posting stated I was just looking for legal games.

Yes it was not on this forum, as I stated before but I know most of you frequent mame world. I would have posted there but... I got kicked off. Matter of fact it wasn't even a posted question just a private message to the admin with a legitimate question for legal games.

Here is a good point, it is allowable for people to post about such topics and where to download illegal software such as tinyxp etc. but I don't see anything done about that and that is on this forum.
