Totally agree. All they really need to do is just give everyone permission to have .zip as bonus item. SOLVED.

Part of the reason they don't, i'm betting, is so that people don't just use it as a file sharing/hosting site rather than just for music

Unsubscribe
That seems like a really convoluted way to share warez/0days. With DMCA, all they need is a easy take down system, problem solved.

well not even like pirated files, just, they want people to use it for music, not just distributing files, so they make sure people actually have music before they give them said "power up"

the email they sent me was awesome
Most esteemed Saskrotch, I hope you won't mind, but I took advantage of your ROM when you weren't looking, modified some low level configuration details with a bit of assembly language fu, blew on the slot, and slapped the cartridge back in. The result? Your account can now feature bonus download items of any format. This includes, but is not limited to, .lsdng, .sav, and .vgm.
Cheers!

I requested that power up and never got it
Did you say something like "can i get that any type of file power-up?" I acted like I didn't know it was a thing, and asked them if they had any plans to expand the file formats.

They sound like the raddest bunch ever.
I might make use of this for my next release!

Haha, sweet. It looks like "Ryan" is our guy. I checked my emails on the subject and turns out he's the guy that hooked me up as well.

Ryan also hooked us up this morning!
I pilfered your cartridge, reverse engineered your ROM, injected some helpful assembly language, blew on the slot, and snuck the thing back with the hecka awesome ability to upload any file format as a bonus download item.
Cheers!

I specifically asked for the powerup, however... I said, "honestly, we've heard from our peers that there's an ability to upload any file format... do you think we could have that? Please?"
What a swell guy!

Hey Bryan,
I've just hit your account with a chiptune-happy bonus upload file type power-up. You can upload any sort of file as bonus material now.
Enjoy!

I was a little worried because it took a little longer than a day. But now Ryan has some competition.
