CoinDrop v1.3 Released - Now you can insert coins from your front-end!
sharkus:
This is an excellent idea! I use tokens exclusively, not for commercial purposes, but to limit the amount of games that my kids play. We also use the tokens as a positive reward system.
Side Note: not releasing software because someone might do something illegal with it is just plain silly. If software was not released because it COULD BE used for illegal purposes we wouldn't have much software on our computers (including MAME, winamp, bittorrent, etc).

You are the DEVIL!!!
You will kill MAME and the arcade in general!!!
That's in summary what i heard when i introduced this feature in my Atomic FE....
I'm suprise there is ony few answer to this post... Christmas , i suppose..
RayB:
Basically that thread said that:
1. Such a feature enables commercial use of MAME.
2. That's bad because MAME prohibits commercial use of its software.
3. That's bad because there are alot of unethical people out there who will use it for commercial purposes anyways.
4. There are alot of people who will use it for commercial purposes with illegal roms.
5. (coming full circle here) MAME will get blamed for it all.
6. MAME would then be targetted in the same way Napster was in the 90's. Napster had legitimate uses, but it's gone now (talking about the original Napster, not the rebranded music-store Napster).
Then we all lose.
