only with EPROM readers...

Or if you own the machine's ROM board...

Or if you wrote the game...

Or if the copyright holder released it as public domain...

Or if the copyright expires...

Soo how much does a neo geo arcade machine with all the metal slugs (1,2,3,4,5,6, and X) and all the samurai spirits and showdowns cost?

Yeah its legal so keep your cool 8) they even have forums for it at www.gamewinners.com and other websites and as for the neo geo there rare and they cost a lot even more with games .

And its its way easier and cheaper to buy a computer and get internet
long enough to get them

oh and for some weird reason i cant get most of the metal slug games to work ill figure it out later.

and some how i bet people have better thing to do than arrest some kid for downloading roms off the internet I Hope gulp :shock:

because unless there a bunch of freeky :twisted: people ho get a kick out of aressting fat kids

besides there plenty of junk for them to be worried about anyway like people selling there own custom MAME machines on ebay type mame on EBAY just try there are some cool ones even some that are sorta Portable

And by the way here are some good roms to download

AVP its worth the long download time :D

Cadilacs and dinausoars its fun trust me :o

Pooyan im not kidding :)

And thats just three of them

I've been making cabinets for mame for quite a few years and i love it :)

The cab you posted is a bartop cabinet

I've personally got 3 here 2 in my room

One upright for Horz game and a cocktail cab (australian version us versions suck :P ) for vert games.

And the other game is a rare black and white game as far as i know im the only person with a fully working one in mint condition :twisted:

Yeah i have started the designs for my own MAME Cabinet already. but right now im finishing up all my smaller projects like
right now im 85% percent done on my Genesis portable that goes in a arcade in a minature arcade cabinet i made its shaping up nice so far exept the front part that holds the arcade board i should have put it lower cause it blocks off about half a cintimeter of the screen but its still ok oh and i left room so you take the arcade board off and plug in two normal controllers for some good ol two player fun.
ill post it later on on both forum 42 and the genesis section but its my first project so its ok not awsome this is my starter project because i have like 4 genesis systems right now after that ill make my MAME cabinet. im going to make it so you can switch from a track ball mouse to a normal mouse that slides out out of the front and a wirless key board for the heck of it. from walmart cause there really cheap right now only $30 and that includes the wireless mouse. and i would like to keep it so i could still use it for normal games and stuff thats why i want the slide out mouse. oh and i would like to see your MAME cabinet pics would you post them on here so i could get a few ideas for mine possibly snifffffff :cry:

I decided to go out to the garage and take a couple of pics of my Genesis arcade portable well here are a couple of them

This is a pic of the it without having been painted and and without
the screen and system in it. it will be mostly for road trips
not in hand play :lol: ill have to geta couple vinyl stickers for the
case off of ebay

Image

and here it is with the screen and speeker covers on it
yes im cheating and using the original arcade board

Image

maybe ill post more pics later and yes its all hooked with video and all i was just to lazy to charge the batterys up for these pics . for video me and my brother hooked up normal male jacks instead of RF and im attaching them with three female to female jacks and a male to male extension cord to the screen and the system is my old junky genesis portable so yes it runs of normal AAs if anyone happens to have any good ideas :idea: for a cool paint scheme please tell me or post a concept hey its a start :wink:. oh and the cool thing about how big it is is that you can fit 16 genesis cartidges and 2 controllers inside of it

oh, BTW Doom Gamer, If the neo geo games don't work (Metal Slug), did you check if you have a zipped neo geo bios thing in the roms folder?
