keltoigael Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The upcoming Louisville Arcade Expo is approaching soon. I have been asked by a few friends to showcase my set up at the local show. I was wondering if this was okay with the HS Gods to show off my work and to also promote Hyperspin in an unofficial way? If not this year, it will certainly be next years show that I would be doing this. Does this break any type of user agreement? I will not, repeat WILL NOT be selling any hard drives, roms, programs or any of our art work, just a demo of what HS can do and printing off some flyers with web address to Hyperspin.

Styphelus Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Other than the fact that you have a hard drive packed with thousands of illegally ripped games you didn't pay a dime for I see no problem with this. Hopefully the copyright police won't be there (or representatives of the companies you ripped games from). Also, not sure if bringing attention to our hobby is a good idea.

damageinc86 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 yeah, let us keep this underground like the early thrash tape-trading days. It seems to work best like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromlostdays Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Solution: Do a second mini set up with only games you own, maybe just a few games and systems so it doesn't look overwhelming, but still can show off the awesome sauce.

Also according to UpCunt and his invisible band of lawyers, it's quite OK to download Roms. So if says it's OK, why hide the hobby at all, come out of the closet Rom lovers. but at your own risk of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayC Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 And then there's probably some shareware/freeware dos games and maybe some demogames that came with consoles that where free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I think every first episode of the ms-dos games were free. just gotta double check on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
