MAMEWorld is an institution.
It hosts the main English-speaking forum for MAME users, and many of the devs come here, too.
It hosts the sites for MAME Artwork and MAME Samples.
It hosts the sites for at least nine MAMEDevs.
It hosts the sites for many great frontends (EmuLoader, MAMEWah, MAMEClassic, etc.)
It hosted MAWS, which is sadly on hiatus at the moment.
Roc's hosted me for free for years now, and I've probably sucked up a good amount of his bandwidth, so I put in a bigger chunk.
Some of you long-time regulars that are here, try and send $5 or more. It's the least we can do to keep this place online. NOTE: Send as a gift, to save Roc the fees.
Payday for most people is in two days. If you can afford to pay your ISP bill each month, then you can afford to help out here.
(Sorry, Roc, for getting preachy, but I would be a sad little boy if I woke up tomorrow and MW was gone, just remember to renew ontime each year, mmkay  )

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
