Unless I misundersood what you mean by "pay per play", you can hook up
your coindoor to a mame'd pc and require quarters to play (done it many
a time).

What they mean is they have an interface that lets you select the game after
you have a few credits in it. Just a bit of extra programming can let a
mamed machine do this. With most of the mame frontends you need to select
the game first, then insert coins. Also, the xxin1 EMULATION boards let you
use credits you racked up on one game on another, mame will clear these when
you drop back to the menu. It doesn't share them from a credit pool.

In otherworlds, they can take there illegal pc on a board emulation and
put it out in the general public to make money for them, which is also
illegal.

What I meant was that you could actually put it on a location and earn. You
can't do that with mame as people would lose their money every time the game
was on the menu.

is someone is smart enough, they could work out how to decode (Emulate the
rom on the fly from ram maybe??) and play around with an vid card to change
the horizontal frequency output.
