From another thread:

But such accurate emulator is simply amazing. So 8$ for this is completely normal... Hard word is normally well received ;) and a good compensation for it is completely normal.

You could always donate to the "help jay haru fix his laptop" cause. :D
My lappy is dead and either I import an almost phased out videocard or go to the nearest reballing station. :(

Look, this is not really that complicated an issue. Dev makes a worthwile product and he wants to earn from it. Whether what you or I or anybody else want is not important. It does not matter if it is expensive or affordable for anyone. The devs placed an amount to a product that they thinks is of the right exchange of value. Either you cough up of pass down. Welcome to the real world.

So is my country. What I did was purchase a 10usd google gift card (for 12 usd), created a temporary us gmail account, placed my overpriced giftcard, bought DraStic. Its not the most honest but that's the way I can pay. As I always say, if you wanted, there's always a way, if not, there's always excuses.

I found a way to pay, actually over my buddy, I use his gmail for purchases...

Respecting the developers decision, still I have not seen emulator as expensive as this one, also it's more expensive than lot of great RPG games from KEMCO and other sources :P
