See, Frizzle's comments make utterly no sense to me. ESPECIALLY if the cabs are scratch-built repros of DK, Defender, etc. Other than the illegal roms, I see no problem with what they are doing. Unless I am missing something... please enlighten me. (And not with ridiculous statements about hoping the owner gets hit by a bus, give me a break man.)

Eric,  that's not enough for you? (see bolded type above)

How about the fact they are including MAME,  which in itself is illegal?

How about the fact they HAVE butchered original cabs (look a their photos on their site)...

How about the fact they are attempting to sell a few hundred dollars of stuff for over $2,200?

...or the fact they've been a thorn in the side of the MAME community for years now?

If you all all that up...is that enough to warrant "ire" at the company in your eyes?

Here are some original cabinets they've managed to destroy:

















Will it ever stop?  Not Yet!!







It's like a freakin' horror show!!





...and there are more!!   

Now,  do you understand?

Okay, see that's what I was asking for -- real reasons why there is so much dislike for these guys. Now I get it. :)
THEY SUCK THEY SHOULD DIE is less helpful. :)

Hi I followed the link earlier and saw most of these.  It is funny; some of these, if properly restored instead of altered up, would fetch the same price.  I was wondering though, what is wrong about this one?   I have seen a lot of NeoGeo setups like this. 

Kevin Mullins:

That one I would let slide...... generic cab and it doesn't appeared to be MAME'd, NEO GEO'd instead.

But that Galaga MAME !?!?
Hell it looks like it was originally a Stargate.
Just makes no sense.
(amongst all the other butched machines there)

Anyways, enough ranting about this topic from me, I generally don't get into these discussions because they go south too quickly and get ugly.
