Ahhh, that's one hornest nest you don't want to poke a stick in. If they get their interest peaked and attack this arcade, they might also try and attack MAME more directly.
Yeah, yeah, before anyone spouts off that emulation is legal. Sure it is. But the last thing anyone needs or wants is a bunch of rabid lawyers breathing down their necks.
Best bet is to approach the arcade owners / operators directly .... (as already stated).
