Still a popular game, apparently. Seems like a legit application of Mame, at least on the face of it.

You can also use chdman.exe to rebuild an HD from an image if he really has a KI with only a bad disk.

Correct. The Legit use of MAME is to restore the HD image from the CHD in MAME. Actually using MAME itself instead of the board isn't really a legit use. Besides, what would then be stopping the arcade operator from loading on other ROMs and making a profit from MAME?

Ginsu Victim:
Dunno. Mine didn't freeze. (When I tested it in .124; haven't tried it in .125))
nuka1195:
did yours run thru the lengthy rewrite?
Ginsu Victim:
yep. I just left it and went and made a sandwich.
