Subject: Re: Space Invaders returning to arcades...
Still, in the case of Space Invaders, I'm wondering if they don't
just have a PC in there with USB controllers. In that case the
only real cost is the cabinet, and they are gouging.
This is my point exactly.
Of course, the main problem with building yer own MAME cab for sale will be
licensing the ROMs. I wouldn't be surprised if the Digital Tables people I
mentioned rely on the buyer putting their own MAME stuff on so's to avoid
getting hit by the license brick.
cheers
