Taking almost 24 hours to respond? You disappoint me, Jimmy.

Just buy broken boards for all the games you want and throw them in the cabinet where the game is being emulated. You will be in compliance with international copyright rules and standards.

Or you can buy a loaf of bread, a quart of milk and a stick of butter and throw them in the cabinet. You'll be just as much in compliance with international copyright rules and standards!

WRONG. If you legally own the ROMS, you may use them in any way you wish. It's called fair use. Perhaps you will be in breach of MAME's license terms, but that has never been an issue for anybody. Just look at the 60-in-1's EVERYWHERE on location. Have you ever seen one shut down or harrassed in any way.
The ones you need to worry about are NAMCO (who BTW just shut down the Sam's Club Black Friday $1000 60-in-1 cocktail special that was advertised to all the members). BTW, I'm pretty sure that the legitimacy of MAME's license agreement has never been adjudicated because I'm pretty sure that the entire project is a violation of the DMCA. And that's why they contort around the IP issues the way they do.
