$299 is fine because you can't copy protect an eprom.

Unless you have access to the original development environment I don't see how this could be possible. People are able to make changes to code (WPC competition roms for example) by viewing what is changing in realtime on an emulator, and modifying it. I make it sound easy but that's very time consuming and not an easy task, and it's usually limited to scoring changes and balances. Adding entirely new modes would be extremely difficult and I am not aware of it being done on DMD games.

Quoted from rotordave:

The problem would be, no doubt someone would rip the Roms and burn copies. I have no idea how to stop that happening.

It's impossible to prevent that with a simple rom swap. Now someone could get creative and create a daughterboard that installs in the CPU socket that adds some decryption circuitry to decrypt the modified rom but then that means designing and selling additional hardware to make it work. Doubt that anybody would do that.
