Pinmame Roms
« on: August 12, 2005, 11:30:44 am »
I probably already know the answer but,  are they in the same territory as mame ROMS?   Unless you own the board with the ROM they are illegal???

I would guess it's different, but probably still illegal.  A MAME rom is the actual game itself, but a PinMAME image is really a simulation of a bunch of physical components...

Actually, someone correct me if I'm wrong, PinMAME uses the actual pinball ROMs.  Visual Pinball simulates the physical stuff.  PinMAME may too, but I know they use the actual pinball ROMs for some things.


ChadTower,
You should check out the PinMAME-HW project.  I think you'd like it.
