Quick Fixes For Those Pining For A 6-foot Cabinet
Joe Barr writes "Over at Newsforge [part of OSDN, like Slashdot], there's a look at the arcade/system emulator movement and two Linux-based Live CDs designed to put you in touch with your inner Donkey Kong: KnoppixMAME and AdvanceCD. I'm happy with gameplay under both. I only wish I knew more about the legality of using them." S!: We previously covered release details on KnoppixMAME and AdvanceCD last year, and also mentioned the categorically legal, if limited StarROMs site on Slashdot Games a few weeks back.
here I COME!!! I love being able to count the pixels as they disappear when my 2x16 lazer almost makes contact...

an old DDR cabinet, KnoppixMAME, StepMania, and a few days of free time. Then I will never have to leave the house again!

I only wish I knew more about the legality of using them.
Trust me, you don't.
Me, I'm pining for the fjords!
Just wait about 50 years or so, and you'll get your very own 6 foot pine cabinet. It'll even be six feet under too! Of course, you'll have a bit of a challenge playing games by then, but hey...

MAME user: I wish the law wasn't so ambiguous about playing ROMs.
The Law: It's illegal unless you have the copyright owner's permission.
MAME user: like I said, so vague...
Copyright holders: Don't do it. We don't give permission.
MAME user: can't I get a clear answer out of either of you two?!
Want a 6' Cabinet?
Eh? Do ya? Wink wink, nudge nudge.
Say... No... More!

Whoever says that weed doesn't make you dumber. It took me about a minute to figure out what this story is about and another two deciding how the hell the headline made any sense whatsoever.

Look, Linux is freaking old. Just let anyone steal the code.
"Linux-based Live CDs designed to ... touch ... your ... Donkey Kong"
I may be a Linux geek, but I've never needed Linux to help me do that.
Yeah, and that's another problem with the whole reporting copyright violaions... consolidation of video game holdings. Think how many titles are owned by Electronic Arts, or Atari. If we went to atari and were like, someone's distributing xYZ game, i'm sure the most common reaction would be, "Do we own that?!"
sig?
I'm sorry, what is this "Public Domain" you talk about?
Oh wait, I remember...didn't Disney buy the public domain a while back?
