One person could compile a complete set of ROMs and send it on CD-R to the "branches"...that person would burn CD's of the complete sets for all the "leaves" ( the leaves would send blank CD-R's and SASE's to the "branch".

: : This is a rather sorry mail that goes to our best partners in the retrogaming community. The MAME resources at www.mame.dk is most likely to disappear from the net today, so we suggest that you already now remove links to mame.dk (roms, emulator mirrors, link collections etc.) to avoid broken links on your sites. We have been running www.mame.dk for 1.5 years now, financing the server and bandwidth through banners. But currently we are facing huge bills for bandwidth, and our banner company has not been paying us for several months now, so our ISP (who has been most understanding, but of cause only to a certain extent) has given us final warning. The project is threatening our personal economy, and despite our love for the MAME project, we cannot go on like this. We will mail you again when (if) they pull the plug.
