I never posted any links to ROMs, as I already understood the rules regarding that. --Dan 08:30, 3 November 2005 (EST)

Hi, I'm Gilgamesh, emulation researcher, former emulation programmer, and active editor on the main Wikipedia. I've started a new category, Category:Registered users, so that the editors can be listed similarly to Wikipedia's Category:Wikipedians. If you want to be listed in this category, you can add [[Category:Registered users]] to your user page and appear on the category page.
