| BeachRunnerJoe:
I apologize in advance if this is the wrong forum or if this question has been exhausted many times over, but I did a search and I got way too many results to find what I was looking for. I probably just don't know the proper terminology to properly find what I'm searching for. I've come up with a great design for a cab (inspired by the many genius cab builders on this forum) and would like to build and sell it, but it's obviously only as good as the games you can play on it. I'd like to include about 100 or so of the favorites and classics, like galaga, millipede, street fighter, mortal kombat, etc., and I have no clue how to go about legally obtaining and distributing these games with my cabinet. Can anybody point me in a direction where I can find more information about this process? Thanks so much in advance for all your help! |

Your only realistic option is bundling with retail packs. The only place selling licensed ROMS to run on MAME was StarRoms, and they stopped trading a couple of years back. They were also Atari only. |

thanks for your help! I did a search for retail packs and couldn't find anything. What are these retail packs? Are they CDs with MAME roms? Where can I find them? Thanks again, Joe |

Try google for Namco, or Atari, or Midway or Capcom arcade collections for the PC. You may not be ready to start selling cabs with games if you do not know what collections of games are available for your cabs. |
