Imagine, the nerve of someone asking for money before they will give you the product of their hard work.

Post by: ChadTower on June 10, 2005, 04:36:19 pm: No, and he's not giving you any of the games.

Post by: jcrouse on June 10, 2005, 05:05:35 pm: NoBonus....I am little curious of two things. First what you do for a living and how much you make per hour (don't actually answer). Now how many hundreds of hours do you think he has in the emulator? You get the idea. Second, what have you contributed to the community for free?

I always think it's so amusing that we're willing to spend one or two thousand on our cabinets, spend money to get overlays professionally printed, drop a bundle on custom spinners, and then balk at paying for any of the software that's at the heart of the cabinet... "Whaddaya mean StarROMs wants $3.00 for a lousy 25-year old game?"

This is NOT a dig at you, NoBonus... the only think in my cabinet that's paid for is Windows XP, HOTD2 and Crazy Taxi, plust some Capcom ROMs I won on a HanaHo CD. I just think it's amusing.
