I know this item is illegal. Have any of you seen this kind of equipment before? Will ebay do anything about it?

EDIT: Took out the link. It's basically an enclosed case of ripped roms with a Jamma pinout. I've never seen one before. Very illegal.

Actually, you can see a lot of those things across Europe.

They are mostly seen In bars.

Friend was telling me that went to an arcade that had a bunch of games in such a setup. I guess it's pretty common.

That enclosure is super nice... someone did a nice job on that... It's like a normal JAMMA board. Honestly, if I were to build a MAME cabinet, I'd want something like that inside of it, instead of mess of PC parts.

yeah, you know this thing is like a super illegal bootleg thing dont you? Its probably just a PC in a jamma box with a bunch of illegally pirated roms. PLEASE DONT SUPPORT PIRATES.

Yeah, you're right, I've come across a couple of those here in Barcelona, but not in Bars (actually you seldom see arcades in bars around here) but in arcades.

It's just a cab with a MAME built in and a ton of games. I remember seeing AOF3, RBFFS, Double Dragon and a few more NG games in it.

Curios enough the cab I saw had only 4 buttons but you could select some Capcom CPS2 games also, like SFZ series... I wonder which was the button setup for those...Anyway, the cab was awful and the games just didn't feel fine... just as when you play the emulators on the PC. Besides, if you're looking for something like that, I'd rather build it myself than paying for it...

Uhg. I didn't post this subject to help promote bidding on this jerk's auction.

It's a very bad idea to buy any illegal roms. Roms are sometimes glitchy/incomplete and in the end it hurts the original game maker. Especailly with new releases like KOF 2003 & Metal Slug 5. :shame:

I've seen MAME cabinets before, but those are usually just computers inside. I've never seen hardware like this were it has an actual JAMMA pinout. That's all I wanted to point out.

I cant beleive any of u are actually thining of buying this. WHAT IS WRONG WITH TODaYS YOUTH. Every1 wants some for free, plz do not contribute to piracy. This is why myself and many others have to wait an extra 5 months for half life 2. Sure its a neat idea and so isnt going to EB late at night and staeling games ( would u do that IF u could get away with it). Piracy is the downfall of the gaming industry. Pls dont support it.

Amen, brother. If you want cheap games then buy the ports..thats the reason they make them. And in reguards too the PC market, thank somebodies god that there finally moving to a DVD. Games like Farcry are going to help kill pirating or at least slow it down considerably.:buttrock:

so what is it?

a mini ITX board with a fingerboard and harddrive?

they arn't hard to make... they can even run off of an arcade powersupply.

I was going to make one, play it then sell it (without roms) but I thought the idea alone was enough to piss alot of people here off....

Extra 5 months for Half-Life 2? I've been waiting for like 3 extra years. Can't wait for it to come out though. Between Sierra and Blizzard...they could delay the end of the world soley based on the "code being stolen." Bastards. :D

The reserve is $600, I do not think that they will get that much. I would pay around $300, BUT THEN i WOULD HAVE TO MODIFY MY nEO CAB. Opps, caps was one, too lazy to fix..
