GameEx is completely free for personal use, and will likely stay that way.
GameEx has taken at least 6,000 hours to develop and support, is in active development, and is actively supported.
The time spent is mostly my own and I expect no additional reward as I've enjoyed it immensely and am still on a buzz! It does however cost me money to host this site, the downloads, and forums. I've also spent several thousand dollars on paying others to implement things in gameex that either I did not have time to do or found a little tricky. In addition development tools cost money, and so does modern and legacy hardware to test and fix compatibility.
To support continued development and availability of all the GameEx sites and future enhancements, you can make a most welcome donation by clicking below.

Donations are entirely optional, and nearly all the functionality is available for free. However, a registered version of GameEx is none the less an improved version. I wanted to assure you because of this you are buying a product, and although GameEx is hugely under priced compared to some other products you are gaining anything applicable and relational to the cost and value of your purchase.
Have fun, and thank you for your support.
