    Question Is this an legal version of Mamba??

    I had a look at this:
    http://www.chinesedepartmentstore.co...oducts_id=2814

    They state that Mamba Black is delivered with the DAC. Can anyone tell me if this is a legal copy???

    Thanks!

    Hi Paul

    at first impression it would seem that it is the hacked version

    the fact that the disc shown is not the official Medialas disc and also Mamba black requires a official Mamba Dongle .... which it seems is not included

    it may be worth contacting madialas to see if they are aware of this version or PM old grumpy ( the Mamba programer ) who is on this forum

    all the best ... Karl

    There is a comment at the bottom of the page and I quote
    "
    This interface will allow you to connect your laser projector to your PC to create amazing animations using the Bundled FREE COPY of the software called "MAMBA BLACK" to assist you to learn about this this integrated interface.
    The interface is very easy to install, please look at the pictures.
    The software copy is bundled by our supplier. We advise yuou not to continue using this software and purchase your own original version from the originators of the abovementioned software.
    "

    So you can be assured it's a hacked version of the software, I am also assuming that the interface is a rip-off as well even though you can buy the interface as a board and mount in your own box etc.

    That is interesting to read. That comment was not there yesterday when I checked it!
    There was no mentioning of "free copy" etc...
    So basically for that money you buy a DAC... I am wondering if it is worth the money...

    and this is from Dirk

    More and more illegal copies of Mamba Black software are sold on Ebay and other market platforms. The illegal software version is very old version of Mamba Black, and is mostly sold by chinese stores and suppliers.

    The software is easily identificable. It is renamed from "Mamba Black"
    to "Laser Controller", furthermore the original MediaLas logo has been removed. Also, the help folder in the menu is no more available.

    ************************************************** *
    We strongly recommend NOT to use this software, no matter how cheap it is. IT CONTAINS A MALIFICIOUS TROJAN, which cannot be removed from the software, since it is wrapped in an envelope! Do not use this contaminated software!
    ************************************************** *

    Besides this Trojan, it is highly illegal to use this software, since all copyrights are held at MediaLas.

    Everybody, that purchased one of this illegal, virus contaminated cracks, can send it in to MediaLas in original condition, along with the interface box. In return, we will offer a special discount for the original Mamba Black software in its latest version 1.96. Additionally, the latest version contains 23 free laser shows.

    with kind regards,

    So does that mean Medialas have left a surprise Easter egg in case pirating happens?

    This software is a copy to prove that it can work with the mamba software and it is free bundled with the interface. You wish to purchase a full version, you may contact Medialas.
