It would probably be more consistent with clamz having been accepted into main, to not require that emulators have a free rom in order to be in main. As it is, the line between clamz and a romless emulator is quite narrow and not well-defined. Emulators have entered main on the back of free roms that are barely usable and were probably slapped together in a day or so[1], and it's to some extent duplicitous to say "this emulator is free because it lets you play this not very good game, which is also free" -- when everyone using the "free" emulator will really be playing Sonic The Hedgehog. -- see shy jo [1] Meaning no disrespect to their authors; I couldn't do it!
