The problem is that many guys stay on emulators and don't mind
having a real machine. Emulators doesn't help system survive. They only
help the user to play his 'loved' ROMs.
Just a few emulator users buy original (and new) software.
By the way, emulators are definitively not so good as the real
machine.

There are hundreds of ROM's websites in the Net. You site is just
another one...

TONS of stupid ROM MSX sites. That's the problem. Again: they
don't help system survive, just help the emul-users having 'nice hours'
(badly) playing those 'loved' old games.
