Some companies (notably Sony) have attempted in court to prevent emulators from being sold, but they have been ultimately unsuccessful.[1] As yet, no legal action has been brought against the MAME team. - Wiki...so take it with a grain of salt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAME |

It gets real ugly.) |
