This site starts in geocities providing a few roms, i made the first version without any knowledge of HTML or Web Design, i tried to use some design software very popular but was very difficult to me, so i decided to use Yahoo Site Builider, this program is very easy to use but the code is very dense and confused to robots and the browsers, anyway the reason was share the games files, so i started a few years ago, maybe 6 years, the first version of the site were lost because i tried to do some money to get a domain, but Geocities erase all site.
Then i started again the design and get better but with some limitations, then i move the site to a friend's hosting that lend to me, in that time the site increase the visitors to 800, i was happy, unfortunetaly ROMSCentral didn't have roms in hosting i used a p2p program to send the files via Shareaza from my pc,to the pc of visitors, Someday one company of advertising email me to buy space ads, first i was exceptically about that if they gonna be paid me. With my first check upgrade my speed connection to upload faster the files to the visitors, with the next checks i decided to get domain name and paid hosting, this happen 8 months ago, i was modifying the layer of the site time by time with the knowledge acquired by myself, then i use Dreamweaver and the site is nice right now, i think, lol, then i had problems with hosting beacuse the overuse of bandwidth, i think was the end of RomsCentral, but the visitors increase and RomsCentral get more money to pay its own vps server, with limitations, but the site is rarely offline, with +5000 games to download of many consoles, Please support us!!! voting or visiting the advertismentes, is the only way to growth and expand to other big consoles like ps2 or gamecube. This is a resume, 6 years can't write in 30 lines, but is the most important1!! that occured with my dream (that all plays the games that one time i played in my super nintendo or nintendo 64 console). Also spread the word about this site with your friends.
I won't be rich with this site, in fact is my hobby, I'm a full time student, i think that is not enough reach the goal, so when RomsCentral.com obtain cash to operate and have some extra cash, it will be for donations and contests with good prizes for you.
