Surely your kidding Hisa. You dont really think that people REALLY
own the boards to all these games do you?? LMAO

<p>

I know your oriental, and people may be more honest in Japan, but
come on, wake up dude. lol

I'm both with QT and against him on this. It is a very honourable
thing that you are doing, Hisa, and I find that admirable that you do
it this way. However, from a player perspective like David and
Richy, it would be much to lose. This looks to be a true fight
amongst the best in MARP, and to have you in it would show how much
of an impact MARP has had. Plus, you can have another victory to
show to your friends :)

<p>

This sounds like I am pressuring you. However, it's completely your
decision. If you do truly drop out, you will be missed by all.

<p>

Very Sincerely,

<p>

Hisa, is doing the only logical/Honorable thing. None of us should
be making the recordings we don't own the boards for.

<p>

there's no way Hisa should give up his morals to compete in a
tournament, even if it would do the tournament good, it would
dishonor Hisa.

<p>

Hisa, have you tried contacting Stern or which ever company has
purched them? Perhaps there is a timeout to Stern/Tago 1982 licence
to the anteater game. But then Tago would still have rights to
it... It might be impossible.

Hmmm, If everyone would think like that, nobody would be able to
attend marp tournaments. Nobody has all the boards for mame.
Look at the leaderboard top 10...

<p>

Is that ok to "betatest" a romset for a day, or is it only possible
(legally) to test mame with a romset you own. Hisa, you would brake
15000 points in about 5 games propably. But you most likely would not
own other roms to be played at later stages of tournament.

<p>

I have a Hotrod, and it gives me legal rights for some Capcom games
(that I don't play). I have no boards for any of the games I
play/submit. I've put my fair share(or little more than that) of
coins in to those games though, in the past. If I really wanted to do
it "legally", I would have to buy those games from USA/ebay. Shipment
costs would be vast. Or I could buy those boards that are found at
ebay, even though wouldn't have the machines ;) There are allmost
none 80's games left in Europe.

<p>

People at mamenet board think that it's ok to add any game into mame,
as long as it's not commercially in use anymore.
I don't think Midway gives a shit about me playing Atari's Marble
using mame, since they don't make any money from it anymore.

<p>

Ok, arrest me, TJT

Richy...you are redefining the term 'dumbass'.
<p>

Poor support for your viewpoint + loud proclamations = dumbass.

<p>

Let us know when you decide to exit the junior high school mentality
and enter the real world. In other words, just respect Hisa's
decision for now.
