Given the name of it,probably the only right move is to never play....and probably yet another reason this foley guy could get sued..and probably the best way to go after him as the movie studios really like to defend their intellectual property... Sorry, it was on TV recently(WarGamesthat is, just in case you didn't get the reference)... -lkench |

this is interesting. i still run dos. can you run joshua os in a virtual machine? can you run 3rd party dos apps/games in it? what kind of mame is running in it and how does it interface to the video hardware? what sound card/drivers is it using? |
| RayB:
Yeah, it could be using DOS. It could also be using "PC DOS". So what? Looking at code in a system is not going to reveal the licensing agreements between Ultracade and the OS provider. :P |

At least you would THINK that the OS provider would want it to be. (advertising) Sorry, but I haven't really looked at their product as I already think it's overly priced considering all the other options openly available. |

Tivo certainly doesn't throw the Linux penguin on its marketing materials. Some vendors specifically encapsulate details like that to fight against reverse engineering. Looking at the code may not reveal the licenses but it could expose certain violations with given OS that have known license requirements. |
