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.

    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?!

    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.

    It does.
