Discussion: Ultracade and the Mame Trademark

<< < (126/154) > >>

GGKoul:
iRoms will never exist because Apple will sue DF for stealing their "i" marketing campaign to make a profit....

Also, why would people purchase from iRoms when most people can get roms for free or at minimal cost? 

I have a feeling when Mame hits v1.00.  Its going to stop...

RetroJames:
IMHO - "iRoms" the name is a diversionary label.  He would have to be dim to toss that name out without already having trademarked it.  I suspect he does plan to try and sell roms to the home user, but I would be totally shocked if it happens under the "iRom" label.

Crazy Cooter:
What I don't understand is this:
- MAME supports the EXACT arcade game.
- Foley's ROM's won't work with MAME.
- Foley can't be using the EXACT game then.  It has to be recoded.

Why would anyone pay Foley for ROM's that aren't the real game?  He wants $0.99 - $9.99 EACH!

Since it's not the real game anyhow, why don't I just buy one of those cd's at bestbuy etc that has 100 arcade games out of the $6.99 bin?  I can play that on any computer, won't need his emulator (don't know how much that is), and I get more for my money, not to mention additional titles.

Who does he think is his target market?

GGKoul:
Just read DF's replies to Kevin Steele's (Retroblast) questions.

His target market is the people that already spent the $3000+ to get an Ultracade machine.  As you'll need his machine to run roms purchased from iRoms.

Since Ultracade is just software.  I can't wait for someone to hack/crack/emulate Ultracade.  I can't imagine it'll be that hard or it'll be that big that it couldn't be traded around the world in a matter of seconds.
