I used to have a retro shop that did indeed sell x-arcade and t-shirts etc. It was hard to manage returns etc plus it did not make a lot of money. It also took up a lot of my time which is better spent developing the site and its material.
I do however totally agree that I could use more money. At present this site and its server costs me money every month to run. Donations are not yet enough to pay for everything.
I do it because I love it, some people buy an old car, some collect watches or antiques. Some spend it on holidays. Me, I rent the biggest ass server I can afford every month then stuff it full of retro roms, emulators and material and make it all available on as big a pipe as I can afford. Thats why currently some users are able to download at a whopping 1000 KB/s.
Its my vice
Interestingly, the auto install NES you made yesterday is worth more to me
. As you may have noticed I uploaded it and made it Unlimited member only access. This is a reward for those that donate $10 or more and hopefully will entice more people to donate. So in actual fact, what you did will make me more money that t-shirts.
Question is, can you make more of these Mega Rom Packs for me to use?
