    any game over like 60MB or some random number like that. the point system is there to keep people who contribute nothing from downloading GB's upon GB's of files. most ds gba and like every retro game dont require points but when you get up to the psx isos and other isos they are big files and the point is that hosting lots of big files costs $$$$.

    roms/ISOs over 50MB cost points.

    Oh, THAT explains it. Every now and then I go on sprees for DS games and get 40+ to try out at a time and only spend maybe 100 points. (I feel like a jerk for doing it, but then I figure posting on the forums is contributing, too :D)

    i was wondering why it says i have not spent any yet, i thought i was luckily exempt from the system some how :D

    i suppose the system has a valid purpose.
