well, when i found out about GameEx, i was considering buying Maximus Arcade for $20, but once i tried GameEx and seen how much more advanced it was, more features, AND it was free... i just couldnt resist. i had planned on, at some point, donating the $20 i WOULD have spend on getting maximus arcade to GameEx. so i would be willing to pay $20 to maybe $25 for GameEx. i would be willing to pay more, but sinking so much money already into new parts for the machine GameEx will be running on, so not left with much change in my pockets the reasoning for why i would pay for this software... 1) i like the "media center" features, more what i want. 2) i dont really use MAME(let the flames start ) and like that it supports just about any other emulator 3) it seems that GameEX is VERY activly update and upgraded which is a definate plus in my book would i like to see things done to GameEX like everyone else is mentioning.... sure theres lots of things i would like to see happend in GameEX, but it is still a very good app at this point in time, and even with what it does lack, is still worth my money. do i WANT to pay for GameEx?? no... heh im cheap.. will i pay for GameEx is some or part go pay?? sure.. im cheap but not that cheap
