48 in 1 10XX in 1 arcade cabinets
fuadramsey:
Are the games that come with the 48 in 1 and 10XXX in 1 cabinets licensed?
Are they legal?

Depending on the brand, and I think there's really just one.. (Game Not Over)
No and No.
This is why this is a non-topic on here as far as I can tell..
It's a bit of retro video gaming indeed- it's a bootleg board..
copyrights have been removed from the games programs..
Even the local store's multicade has not a copyright to be seen anywhere on the cab or the video.
What annoys me about that one, though, is they charge 50 cents.
I'd buy a *legit* z80a-based multigame board in a second if it promised proper program execution and programmability.

Doesn't the ArcadeShop board solve all of those problems ?

The Arcadeshop board is still emulation and when used has unlicensed ROMs.
CheffoJeffo:
Good points.
And I guess that the ROMS wouldn't be officially licensed in the US, although I leave the legalities of dumping your own ROMs for use in emulation to others (the laws here are different than the laws in the US, for example).
