cant seem to grasp why mame is 'illegal' for commercial use

I believe a good alternative to using MAME in public would be to use some public domain arcade style PC game and put it on free play.

Grid Wars would be pretty cool I think: http://worldofstuart.excellentcontent.com/grid/wars.htm

I have even thought sometimes of making my own little arcade game and putting it in a cab and donating it to a college or community center.  How cool would that be?

So, you have two original, working classic cabinets with very different control sets and want to merge them in to a single cabinet ?

jcterzin:

pacman has just the joystick, and centipede has the trackball and button. I couldnt mame it so that i have just a single joystick and a single button?

jcterzin:

what about RAINE? its freeware and says the original author abandoned it and released the source code. If I reconfigure RAINE, could anyone see legal issues with that?
