In Reply to: Complete Set of MAME Roms posted by Faded Knight on 6, 2001 at 6:01 AM:
I hooked up with a guy here in the states. Sent my B&P on monday. Don't know if he got it yet but we shall see....the key thing here is that they are NOT for sale. They only trade them....this is how they avoid stirring up a hornets nest. Keep in mind that this sort of thing is considered technically illegal but due to lack of interest in prosecution by the copyright holders this sort of activity is shall we say overlooked in most cases. The other reason is that some of the roms are public domain because the copyright ran out and nobody bought them back up in the alloted amount of time. Has anyone used arcadesticks.com??? I emailed them sunday but haven't gotten a call or an email back yet...
: Some one posted a message about this some time ago & a kind soul suggested www.tombstones.org.uk
: I'd just like to say that I went to the site, followed the instructions, sent off 5 blank CDRs + return postage & three days later (including day I posted them) I have a complete set of roms, flyers, snapshots, samples & artwork for everything up to and including 37b15.
: Only cost is the P&P & the CDRs.
: Fantastic service - no hassels, very, very quick & working perfectly. There is no way any news group or www.mame.dk can get you ALL 2900+ roms 100% perfect in this space of time.
: It might take a little longer if you're not in the UK, but there are people around the globe affiliated to the site, so you will probably find someone near you.
: Do what the site and you're chosen burner says, be very nice (they deserve it) & you will not be dissapointed.
: Above all - never buy MAME cds from anyone.
