It'll put a shiver down your back! :laugh2: --- End quote --- I don't watch that show, but don't they focus on state criminal prosecution? Most of these cases would fall under civil or federal prosecution. In any case, we definitely don't want more attention brought to it as it would indeed send a shiver down my spine. |

--- Quote from: Jdurg on February 26, 2008, 09:17:53 am ---Heh. But there are many Korean and Chinese, and even American individuals who think otherwise. Take a look at all the 48-in-1 and 1000-in-1 arcade PCBs out there. They are simply a whole slew of ROMs burned onto a board with an emulator in there. Their goal is to make money off of those ROM images. Any multi-game PCB that doesn't have the explicit consent of the original manufacturers of those games is technically illegal. --- End quote --- The local (new!) arcade has one of these 48-in-1 machines (in an old Ms Pac cabinet), and I noticed while playing a few games, they've removed the copyright notices on the ROM's, so, for example Donkey Kong just says "1981" on the title screen instead of having the Nintendo name with it. |
