If you want to help MAME, you can donate a little money to this fundraiser to get two rare games released.
Shoutime is an arcade enthusiast in Japan who has bought MANY PCBs and provided dumps to MAME. He's easily spent several dozens of thousands of dollars on boards and just given away the dumps.
He recently acquired two incredibly rare unreleased games and spent $13,000 out of his own pocket for them. He's looking to get only around half that back in donations to release these games for the whole planet to enjoy. One of the games is a 2 player simultaneous Data East beat 'em up that looks very intriguing.
If you can even donate a couple of bucks, every little helps. Without people like Shoutime, EVERY single one of these games would be sucked up by hoarding assholes in Japan and would never see the light of day.
