take him to court ?

But that would most likely be an expensive and ultimately pointless exercise, as for such an action to have anything other than a "moral" victory, the copyright holder would have to prove that financial loss had occurred as a result of the infringement. As far as I know there had been no loss.

That's my understanding of the law anyway. I'll happily be corrected.

I personally believe the wider issue was more than the MAME threat...

 

If he did have to release all his code, besides that of the MAME source, then I'm sure that certain manufacturers might have taken an interest into what other tools he used to create the emulator.

 

I believe MAME was just an excuse, and the smaller fry, in this so long circle of boredom - the real reason, I have always believed, is that whatever other coding he used, might have triggered alarm bells with the manufacturers of slots who created them in the first place...

 

There - more fuel to the fire of the burning remnants of FME! lol

if guitar released a 3D emulator like the video above there'd be no need for an mfme update it would become obsolete, this may sound harsh and i'm extremely grateful for all the emulators and the coders that brought us fruit machines to our pc's  but (my fonts gone funny lol) every invention gets improved upto if they didn,t we'd still be walking everywhere or watched 4 channels on tv or playing on atari 2600's  back to normal now rofl!!!

Four channels?

Crikey, shows you're a nipper snapper... I remember when there was only 3 (BBC1, BBC2 and ITV (ATV was my local area for ITV network then, it changed to Central TV in the 80s) - and waiting for ages back in 1982 looking at the Channel 4 logo stuck on the screen until 'Countdown' started as the first programme shown!

Yes, we move with the times... but it certainly pays to remember the past x

[ricardo de ponsa]

1 Channel BBC, 405 lines on a Telly that took a good 5 minutes to warm 12" screen, and an 'H' dipole aerial. ITV appeared here in the East in October 1959. We had it tough in't the 50's!!!!

 

Also remember when 'Emmerdale Farm' was only an allotment!!!!True

Thanks for the link.Maybe when they enable more joypads it will do something for me.Playing with the keyboard isn't much fun and its a bit clunky but has novelty value and there is nothing not already out there.

does anyone remeber a machine called 'the big W' if so has it ever been emulated

[barcrest junky]

The big W is where the treasure was buried in the comedy classic it's a mad mad mad mad mad world. Not helpful but there you go. Good film. A childhood favourite of mine.

[ricardo de ponsa]

Remember seeing that film, Jimmy Durante 'Kicked The Bucket' (literally) in the first 5 minutes. A childhood favourite of mine also B.J.
