I especially like the bit where someone else had embedded Mame with a pirated ROM as a "port" to a major console. Especially amusing if you read Mame's license, which includes:
> MAME is free. The source code is free. If you paid for it, you've been ripped off. If you sell it, you are a thief.
> You are not allowed to distribute X-Mame ( source or binary) and ROM's image in the same package or physical medium.
> If you distribute the executable, you should also distribute the source code.
> The source code cannot be used in a commercial product without a written authorization of the authors.
