I am not being a jerk about anything. The x in 1 boards are out there. Everyone knows it. The MAMEdevs, the frontend owners, the original companies that made the games (if they are still going), everyone! Every time a thread pops up someone screams you will be prosecuted for owning one. I want to know who is going to do it? Are the FBI going to bust my door down? Are the CIA or SIS going to follow me around to gather intelligence? Am I going to wake to tear gas and rifles? :laugh2: Are drug dealers going to start selling x in 1 boards on street corners? (mental image, man in trench coat opens it quickly to show all the boards inside his jacket, lol) Come on, seriously. Simple question deserves a simple answer. Who? |

Oh, and Fozzy, you say they are illegal but you own one, lol. Someones gonna come-a knocking. :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: Yes they probably are but who is going to do anything about it? Same as all the roms on yours/mine/everyone else's MAME machine. Oh, wait, I don't have a MAME machine. 8) |

If that machine isn't licensed by the state (and I wouldn't think it will be with a x in 1 or mame cab) You can, and will be fined, if not sued for using them. IN PUBLIC, FOR CASH GAIN. Obviously nobody gives a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- what you do at your house - this is about making money. EDIT : I was a little angry and my comment was harsh. Sorry. |

I don't know why there's debate about the original question, which was about their legality in a public location. The answer is "yes". It wasn't "will I get caught?", "is it moral?" or anything else like that. That being said, I have seen some in public. It's possible for it to be there for it's entire life without getting a fine. It's also possible for you to get in trouble for it. The risk is yours. If some authority on such matters were to bust you for it, pointing to the arguments on these boards will do little to dissuade him or her from handing down monetary punishment. Just so you know... |
