Give me a moment while my mind is being blown here.Д¬lick to expand.Great post.

So, you see, this is a DRM issue and not a hardware issue at all, because the way the scheme is set up: 1 dongle = 1 authorized copy, but I don't want to buy the dongle, it does nothing good for me and everything bad (if the dog eats the dongle, I'm out $3000 with a perfectly working but unplayable cab).

#Taito type x2 jamma software#

The thing is: $3000 isn't buying you the machine, or the PC the software is running on, or even the software itself, all of which can can be substituted with cheaper or free (unauthorized) equivalents, but what you are buying with your $3000 is the DRM hardware dongle and nothing else.

#Taito type x2 jamma license#

Software companies, likr Microsoft, know this and they try to say the (authorized) copy of software you own, isn't a copy at all, but a license to use that copy, and use things like DRM and license management schemes to control, or at least, limit unauthorized coping (which never. With dedicated hardware, there can only be a finite number of boards created, pure software dosen't have that limitation, as long as you have the binaries you can create an unlimited number of copies.

There are no ethics there: for the 'users' who collect, which is all about e-peen waggling about collection size and rarity, and there's the 'producers' who crack the games, where it's all about getting your ass kissed by the users. There's something about 'free' that breaks people's brains (cognitive blindspot?), it becomes all about hording shit you will NEVER play, it's all about your purely imaginary shelf of games on your HD.

That, my friend, is why I've always hated the MAME 'scene.' If at all possible, I want to obey the law, but this new way makes it impossible (or stupid expensive). but the hook is: I want to do it ethically. I don't own anything 'minty' or have multiple copies, it's all there to be played. I don't buy books to look good on my bookshelf, I buy them to read or for reference to be used for their intended purpose. It's not about collecting for collecting sake, but for (eventual) playing. Simple question: Have you played EVERY single ROM you've ever downloaded, or alternatively, do you intend to play EVERY single ROM you've downloaded?Д®very game on my shelf I've played, or intend to play (for instance, games I bought for systems I don't yet own). Good job, guys! You could've made some money off of me, but you will make NONE now.ДЇuck man, I should'a picked an easier hobby like stamp collecting or scale modeling or drug dealing or international terrorism. The industry has basically made it illegal (or just prohibitively expensive) for me to be able to do this any more. That's a 'non-choice' for most of you, but not for me.

So, if I want the 'pure' arcade version (which is, ironicly, inferior to the 'home' version), the choice is: either pay $3000 for the full setup, or download the unauthorized cracked version for free, with absolutely no fucking middle ground or grey area. The 'cabinet' is the PC's case.).Д¬orrect me if I'm wrong but I can't just buy the arcade machine software game (not the home PC version) by itself, like a regular software license? I have to buy the whole rig, shit PC, security dongle, and all, for $3000 take-it-or-leave-it? Right?! The new gear is just a stripped-down commidity PC, security lockout dongle, an industrial flatscreen monitor, coinbox hardware, and an 'arcade-style' enclosure with USB controls (I can't, in good conscience, call it a cabinet anymore. I can still buy a physical disc to put on the shelf (and this way, the game's core gameplay will still work after some suit decides that the cost/benefit ration is too high to keep that particular game's online content-server operational), but it's not even that anymore. With stuff on the Xbox/Xbox360 I could understand, even if the platform itself is half-a-step away from being a PC.

With all the new shit coming out natively on the PC, as opposed a dedicated board or other custom hardware (and 'No' the stripped-down Dell Experions running Windows XP with arcade-to-USB, which Capcom uses to run StreetFighterVI.exe do not count), I can't fucking 'collect' anything here. This is where the hobby fucking ends for me: As a serious anti-MAME, anti-ROM, and anti-emulation ( antiemulationist?), as well as a pro-' play it on the goddamm original hardware, asshole!' nerd, this whole fucking thread makes goddamm my head hurt.
