It's been a few months. Is TG going to allow the use of them? The game plays the exact same way it does in a cabinet. It's arcade wiring and power supply in a box.

You're not the only one wondering. I've been waiting for an answer for about 2 years now.

There is no logical reason why it couldn't be used for record purposes.
The only thing that has to be original is the boardset, and in unusual cases the controls.

What will it take for a response and action, Walter?
As long as the game hardware(PCB) is original there shouldn't be a problem as on as you are using the correct controls.

I pm'd Blaine about this a while back, and here's the response I got:
\"I don't think this would be a problem. It's an unusual setup compared to what we normally receive, but the main point of arcade scores is to play them on arcade boardsets, which is what you'd be doing here. Just be sure to -thoroughly- film the hardware and setup so that we can use the tape to defend any potential outside claims about hardware imperfections.\"
It would actually be easier to film that set up than a performance on a complete full size arcade game.

Hope everyone is doing well and making out OK in these difficult times.

As Blaine mentioned, there has been significant discussion on this matter & I have just re-highlighted the discussion internally.
Is there a link to the verdict on this issue?
