Have You Donated? Let's Support RetroPie

BuZz

It's been mentioned by others but I've not decided if I want to do it like that yet and I haven't had time to look into it. I have a patreon account, but that's as far as I have got.

I'm very new here, but already enjoyed both the RetroPie package and a lot of help here on the forum, so of course i donated today, to show my appreciation :)

f it ever comes to a patreon with monthly payments, i would not hestitate to chip in.

Thanks for lovely sw + loads of fun, and a great way to re-play some of my childhood favorite titles!

@Xyb0t Thanks! :-)

Done. I hope that counter is inaccurate, I was Donation ID "2765", which seems astoundingly low given the popularity of this software.

I'd support a patreon too - I'm building a bar top and these forums and the community here (and on Reddit, etc) have been very helpful as I slowly get things configured in a way that suits me. If I can pay a monthly Internet and cell bill, I can chip in for a coffee each month to something bringing me as much enjoyment.

Kudos to the team, keep up the good work.

Patreon would be a good alternative to have. Heck Retroarch is already on patreon so why not RetroPie.

@Devster thanks for the support! :)

That counter isn't wrong. If we had a dollar for every download... We could easily retire.

Never been about the money though- we just love retrogaming :)

Xyb0t

Haha, yes.. i was nr 2760, it seems.

Anyways, thx again, you guys!

I would be onboard for a monthly donation as well. it is amazing how easily it is to give Google $2.99 a month without thinking about it, but the idea of spending $10 is harsh.

you guys do a great job, and I love everything about RetroPie

I just registered an account to post here about this topic. I've known about raspberry pi when I was studying using the first gen pi during school courses. I only recently looked back into the raspberry pi when I discovered that there was a great community behind retro gaming and getting games to run on the pi (all thanks to not being able to purchase a NES classic).

I was pleasantly surprised to see how far emulation has come on the pi! Great stuff guys, and thank you! Just donating now, and I also would be in for monthly donation. You guys deserve it.

@Jahnadrian this great community was here long before the nes classic. And hopefully will be here long after

Jahnadrian

@edmaul69 Yes I'm sure it will, I'm just glad I came across this community and just wanted to show my support.

@Rion Fully Agree. Retropie should be on Patreon.

Does anyone else have problems when trying to donate? There is a constant message saying "Please log in in order to complete your donation."

BuZz

@Capt_MorganCreek I updated the wordpress plugin - perhaps something broke. Will look into it

BuZz

@Capt_MorganCreek I had missed an upgrade step - does it work ok now ?

Capt_MorganCreek

@BuZz Yep, it's working again!

Thanks :)
