To be honest, I think it really boils down to the website and admin as well as your personal feelings toward emulation, mulltis, and real hardware.
I myself have 12 sega lindbergh, 3 taito x2, 2 chihiro, and a full neo geo mvs collection, over 200 pcbs etc for starters. I use all real hardware.
I I think the multi boots are a great addition to any collection and have nothing against them. Seeing as this site has rules to be followed regarding discussion about multiboots on Lindbergh etc, the only thing that can be done really is to follow the rules or choose another forum on a different site to discuss it.
As for what is seen as "acceptable topics" or not is ultimately up to Darksoft and admin on the site to decide. I myself dont know what topics can or would disrupt the flow either but once again, if its off limits, its off limits at least here.
I would think that anything Naomi or older would be fine to discuss including net booting etc but once again, Im not positive.
No hate intended at all as we are all here for common interests and if Darksoft wishes to lay out the guide lines on conversations and what can /cant be talked about I would respect that.
are they being sold by sega still?
not currently being sold atm as far as I know but several coinops are still using the machines in arcades and sega is still servicing Chihiro to Sega Ringedge 2. As for where the legal lines are drawn Im not sure but I think that as long as sega is still providing service for them in arcades then its still an off limits hardware to talk about on here as Darksoft said.
It's very interesting. Because in Japan I've played very old games (80's and 90's) a few months ago in arcades. Here I can only play recent games (oldest must be Grid, Let's Go is Ring one). So I don't think it's the most important point. And you say Sega is still servicing, and that's a great point (I didn't know it). But we often talk on this forum about netboot or CF, so for Chihiro. And DS & mitsu sell Lindbergh multis. The only objective element is a firm is selling or not a system. So I can't conclude, since some rules are not totally clear. Perhaps the rule is old system = not sold anymore, but exept for systems with a multi to sell ? I think Darksoft must write a list, saying which system is alowded and which one is not since it' totally subjective, to avoid some of use to make some mistake.My English is not good, please understand there's non agressivity or something else in my sentences. Sorry but I just need some clarification, or I can put by mistake some posts against forum rules whoutout knowing it. If there's some rules, we all have to know exactly to respect them. Some members have already had discuss about legitimity, but I don't need detailed explainations or justifications, I just need the list what is allowed or not, it's easier and totally clear.
So, for Darksoft, please tell me :
For Taito ? We know the limit is Nesica : TTX2 is OK, but not TTX2 Nesica and later like TTX3.
For Sega ? Lindbergh is OK or not ? Naomi/Chihiro/Triforce/Hikaru/Atomiswave are OK, but RingEdge/Wide and later RingEdge2, Nu are not.
For IGS ?
For Namco ? All OK ?
For SNK ? All but recent games ?
For Cave ?
And other systems as Neo System ?
