are 39 in 1 boards illegal to have on location ?
Daniel B.:
Again, who gives a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- who makes the bust. The question is if this is legal. It is not legal. I don't know who will bust you, or if you will get busted...it's illegal, so you can get busted.
I'm sure we all do illegal things all the time and not get busted, but I certainly don't advertise it and make money off of said illegal practices.

ok, you said what you want to say. We all heard you.
In my opinion, this isn't like selling drugs or speeding, this is more akin to ripping a DVD you already own to place on a computer hard drive. Both are illegal.
So if it's illegal, but not enforced - it becomes an ethics issue?

Thank you Captain Obvious.
Do you think anyone would be discussing "who makes the bust" if they didn't first acknowledge that it was indeed, illegal?
Discussions tend to branch out.

The x in 1 boards are out there. Everyone knows it. The MAMEdevs, the frontend owners, the original companies that made the games (if they are still going), everyone!
Every time a thread pops up someone screams you will be prosecuted for owning one. I want to know who is going to do it?

You most certainly are being a jerk....... I said that you can be prosecuted for using one in a commercial application.
I never said that anybody was going to come knocking on your door and arrest you for owning one. It'd be a waste of time and effort and money to go after a single individual.
But if you run a bar and put one in there and charge people for the privilage of playing it, then don't come crying when you're facing million dollar law suits and the loss of your trading licences.
