Here's an interview.

Here's their website.

http://www.starroms.com/

It's a place that sells legal arcade game ROMs, for use with MAME.  (Currently 
about 50 atari titles, they're negotiating for more).  The prices range from 
8 credits ($2) to 24 credits ($6) per ROM.

We could use this to put together some _legal_ mame cabinets, running Linux.  
(I don't know if we have to buy a license for each cabinet or if we can put 
'em all on a big server.)  As far as I'm concerned, if we buy all 50 licenses 
(somewhere around $150-$200 I'd guess), and we have less than 50 people 
playing at once, we're legal.  Put them on a networked server and make a dumb 
little GUI app to let people launch them from a menu (with screenshots)...

Sound like a plan?

Rob
