For we can now use pinbox while you grind your wheels on court.
First the release of pinbox didn't "ruin it for everyone". In the meantime please respect our IP and be patient: NUCORE WILL RETURN." We cannot discuss the details of the case but will provide periodic updates here on our site.
#Pinbox nucore roms software#
This person stole our copyrighted software and the copyrighted ROMs. We paid Wayne, Gene and Rick a licensing fee for the right to do this. We have hundreds of paying customers who paid their hard earned money. We spent thousands of hours on this product. Federal lawsuits take time and we need to clean up the mess before doing anything else. It is our intention to bring this person to justice and to release a future version of Nucore with new features. Two weeks later, the person in the lawsuit (master geek) released Pinbox and ruined it for everyone. In July of 2013, legal documents were drawn up to allow us to continue to produce Nucore. We’ve been busy servicing all of our paying Nucore clients. And, if your logic that the product was pulled because sales weren't what were expected, then it this isn't the scenario that improves that equation. Guess what? The Nucore guys just devalued their product because there are fewer machines, thus fewer sales, available.
Individuals will part them out for what value they can get and dump the rest. You know what will happen? Ops will trash them. If there are pin2000 machines that are broken and there is no viable fix available, no one is going to keep these bricks around. It also shows the underlying arrogance of those involved (be it Nucore, PPS, or whomever). No to be a dick, but your whole premise is ridiculous. If the machine is broken, and that is the fix, you would have paid for it.
This does not suddenly entitle you to decide their work isn't moving fast enough so you should just take it.įinally, you saying that it doesn't equate to a sale is just silly. I think I'd feel different if Williams developed the solution to fix their own machines with and then pulled it as a solution, but seriously - you're talking about a couple of guys that spent a ton of time and effort developing a solution that worked, the sales of it weren't what they had hoped so they stopped producing it for a time. Your logic shouldn't be that since a solution exists, even if it blatantly rips off people who had developed it, you should be open to using it because you want to fix your machine isn't really fair. Rob seems to be able to fix almost anything.If Pinbox did not exist, please explain how you could fix your machine in a couple weeks. If anyone ever has a dead pin2k, then send it off to Rob Anthiny at lockwhenlit. Nucore returning is an after thought and too little too late. Once Nucore evaporated people went to good techs or pinbox and all was good. Second, many people quickly realized that there are plenty of good techs capable of taking care of a dead Pin2K. It is relatively easy to do, costs a reasonable amount, and is futureproof. I dont think it is a big deal that they have returned for 2 reasons.įirst, Pinbox is out there in the public domain. They obviously made some changes to the software since they "borrowed" (is that the right word for it) from the public domain previously. Guessing they wasted a bunch of money and time and Nucore coming back is part of the requirement of whatever agreement they came up with? Since it all went quite, all we can do is guess unless they want to come explain the situation. JMHO, but it was a BSD contest if you will. To me the entire thing from Nucore appeared to be more about the attempts at getting money for a product they were no longer producing. I am not sure what all transpired, but I assume it all got resolved between nucore and pinbox. Just for reference I thought this was a big deal because there were going to be unplayable pin2ks because of this. i mean, why does no one seem to care? I thought this was gonna be abig deal once it was resolved, why am I wrong? is it because of the third party solution? Ok but hilton do you know what happened here? i saw your question about QEMU which was last where I left off.
