That sounds familiar....hmmm
So the Mame Devs are interested in ripping machines that may not be arcade machines, or arcade machines that might be still sold and relevantly new on a legacy platform.
Do you know who the manufacture is? If so have you contacted them? Is this operator the copyright owner of the game?
I would be upset if I coded that game only to find a dump on the Internet of the very same game I was going to sell or port to a console platform. (BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger ring any bells?)
Its not like you devs have to look at unique schematics and code it for Mame.
Sounds dodgy to me.
Just saying...
Update: Looks like they are still around. Pretty cool website too. Maybe they can sell you a copy.
