Title: Free Mame Website - Anyone Use...?
Post by: RoninEditor on March 11, 2008, 03:29:19 am

I stumbled upon this site out of frustration, trying to get my older ROMs to work with the newer versions of Mame32UI...

saint's edit - no ROM links please. Thanks

Does anyone know if they're legit in what they sell?  It seems a bit too good to be true, a set for $7?  I was thinking about buying a set of 'new' ROMs.

Dunno... what do you guys think?  I'm afraid to give my credit card info out, never heard of them before.

I can't work out if you're having a laugh or not!

If you're not, then No. It's illegal what they are doing. They are selling ROM sets. It's entirely up to you if you want to fund their piracy.

Yeah, that's just it, I'm like, um... totally illegal and for friggin' $7!? 

The crazy thing is, I'm so desperate to get new versions of my older ROMs that I was like, um... maybe...?  Then logic kicked in, lol. 

I downgraded from the current MameUI to .106 and I Galaga's playing again, but Centipede is still toasted in this version.  I'd love to be able to run everything on the latest version.

Does anybody read the rules anymore ? No posting links to ROM sites, please.

5. Nothing illegal! Do I even need to explain this one? Need a ROM to repair an arcade board you own? Fine to talk about. Need a ROM to complete your MAME collection? Don't bother to post here. If someone posts such a request, please don't answer it -- no direct answers, no hints, no private messages.

Sorry about that, feel free to kill the thread (not sure if I can on my own), I have my own sites I use and have never posted them publicly, I was just asking about a site that wasn't legit - to point it out.

As opposed to a ROM site that IS legit ?
