i know frenzy is a mpu5 and can't be emulated.

but if i was to do the artwork for the layout of the frenzy machine could the banging away rom's not be used as you have done with pyscho cash beast??

...could the banging away rom's not be used as you have done with pyscho cash beast??

Personally, I'd rather wait until MPU5 emulation is permitted (scheduled for late Autumn 2055 I think... ), as IMO a machine em is not really a machine em without the correct SFX - but I'm sure lots of other members wouldn't mind this drawback, and I'm sure there are no legal obstacles, re PCB/BA hybrid, so AFAIC, you can go ahead...

Anyone know any different re legal issues, please fill me in - by posting to this thread, and not by using a baseball bat with a nail in it, as I know some would like... :wink:

Lol, emulation is just one BIG legal issue - you only have to look at the way that Nintendo of America closed down nearly every nintendo rom site - its nearly impossible to get their roms now without P2P. Seriously, I bet if you look in google you just get hundreds ot redirectors and porn popups

On a more serious note - I was going to do Frenzy a while back as an HDX, and I think it would be a good layout to practice on. As PJ said, the sound would be totally wrong, but at least it is logical [apart from the sexual innuendo ]

By all means give it a shot, at the worst you'll get the silent release thread which is becoming more and more common - odd, considering the 16000 users we have
