Re: [my fault] ads... lots and lots of ads (5 replies, posted in Bugs and Requests)
Chipmusic.org doesn't have ads, and I can't find any misplaced code in the page either. Most, most likely you have malware which hijacks pages and inserts ads to them.

Re: Chipmusic Donations. (22 replies, posted in Bugs and Requests)
The first and foremost reason that we currently do not accept donations is because it isn't really needed. There is no urgent lack of money to pay the bills for the site. So, we decided to not accept donations, as a general policy. One problem with accepting donations is that may, even if just implicitly, put an obligation on the site staff to put a certain amount of effort into the site, such as developing the code base of the site further. At this point, I think most of staff are full-time working adults, sometimes with children, who don't really have a lot of time to spare on the site. Accepting donations may then give the wrong impression and in the future raise questions of what the money is actually used for. We are indeed extra cautious about this aspect because of what happened to 8bc back in the day.
But even if there was an urgent need for funding, donations are still problematic. It's easy to make a donation drive and make people donate. It's not so easy to get a consistent flow of money. The best solution for all parties would be to somehow encourage people to make small, but regular donations (or possibly payments). Having a system in place that would make it easy for people to make small, reoccuring donations might would be preferred if we accepted donations. The service Patreon has done this for content creators, (such as YouTube vloggers etc) where they deposit money into their account, and then donate a certain amount for every video uploaded by a certain user.
With all this said, if you're actually intent on giving a donation, you may contact trash80 in private and I'm sure he'll accept it, but nevertheless, at the time being it's not really necessary.

Right and it's a bit unfair that you're treating some copyright infringement as more OK than other copyright infringement just because it's widely used without attribution of any kind.
I was answering a completely different question: why people think it's ok. I haven't even tried to answer whether people are justified in thinking one thing is ok, and the other not. I was just telling you why. Selective outrage exists everywhere. Just look at politics, where one injustice may get all the spotlight, whereas another injustice is conveniently ignored.

What people usually react negatively to in this scene, is when a douchebag artist takes some lesser known chipmusic song and samples it without attribution and hopes that no one will notice it. Apples and oranges.Most people aren't trying to make money off of this and there have been lawsuits for use of nyancat. Copyright infringement is copyright infringement regardless of "cultural canon."
Anyway this guy is trying to make money off of a copyrighted character and hoping nobody notices. How is this apples and oranges?

So everyone here is cool with copyright infringement as long as it doesn't happen to one of their beloved chip music artists?
The difference is that the Nyancat song is so widely used it can be considered a part of the Internet's "cultural canon". It has gone so far that no one could police the use of the song, even if they wanted to.

At least have someone program a bit of animation into the ROM (unless you can do it yourself.) I want to see a rainbow and the cat moving up down, as well as stars animating. I mean, a nyancat without a rainbow?? You could always ask here. I'm sure someone there would be willing to help you.

You might consider using YMDJ (possibly in an emulator initially) and then recording whatever you make in that program when you're satisfied.
