I think it's safe to say yes



JoyMonkey:

Has anyone been in touch with StarRoms?

You know, if StarRoms had some support they could probably acquire more licenses and make iRoms obsolete even before it's launched. If the community is going to donate anything financially, I think we should see if StarRoms could do with anything.

iRoms isn't getting EXCLUSIVE rights to sell roms is it?

daywane:

?????
I do not under stand what you are saying.
OK , I can go and download some Roms from them and pay them for it.
But pledge $$$ to them ? I don't get it.
I must be missunderstanding your post

JoyMonkey:

My understanding of it is;
Ultracade is trying to monopolize legal rom distribution with iRoms.
Helping a community-friendly competitor, such as StarRoms can only hurt iRoms.

People have talked about donating money to help 'the cause', but it's unclear how money would be helpful in this situation.
The only way I can see is to help StarRoms, financially or otherwise, to acquire licensing from more game companies. So they'll have a service offering the same product as iRoms (maybe even more) that is backed by the emulation community.

Supporting iRoms sole competitor can only be good.

It sounds like DF is looking to put StarRoms out of business. I wonder what their take is on all this. Do they have an exclusive licencing agreement with Atari?
