MAME machine legalities

In the tourist driven town where I grew up in CT there was a Carousel place with an indoor carousel for the kiddies plus some food and arcade games, air hockey and pinball games in the back (where the older kids would go). It survived during the 90's and might even still be there.
There was also a hotdog type place by the beach with a second room full of arcade games there that survives as well.

Thanks sodapopinski..
That is something else to think of.. We need an angle.. something to bring people in..
Ive thought of pool tables, but I really wouldnt want an adult only place that would drive kids away. The kids are where the quarters are.
Maybe we should start a new thread about this subject, get it out of all the mame legalities going on here. (Man I hate lawyer talk, been divorced twice, hate lawyers too.)

PinballJim, I've been compiling & changing for personal use my own builds of mame for use on my 4 mame cabs in my basement since the build versions were somewhere in the low .30's So I do know just alittle bit about mame & it's code.

You altered the software, you didn't develop it. So what? I posted years ago on alt.games.mame on how to disable copyright messages, does that make me some expert like you, too?
Yes that makes you and expert... :applaud: ...Or someone who goes around publically doing what the mame devs have asked not be done. Either way I think you missed the point. I understand what has gone into the mame code.
Ok So what's your deal? Do you collect pinball machines? Lets say you do and after searching high and low to replace a trashed eprom that goes to one of your most treasured pinball mechs you discover the only way to get it back up and running is to use the dump from a pinmame rom an burn a new eprom....What do you do Jim???

I don't, but it's pretty obvious he's oblivious to his own arguments inability to hold water. Arguing with him would be like arguing with a fifteen year old.
MrMojoZ:
Just so I understand, pinballjim is also saying reverse engineering is illegal? ???

Not being pinballjim is illegal, thus, everything any of us say or do is illegal.
