Gentlemens agreement.
1. Guru sold his own boards after smitdogg requested it. Funds went to DU. 2. Guru lent own money to the DU money to buy Wyvern F0 with promise that he would get money back. 3. Personal money was lent to DU by Guru for PCB. 4. PCB is to be sold when dumped, protection emulated? 5. DU pays balance when PCB is sold in Japan.
We are currently stuck at number 3, and fuck are we stuck.
I bought Taito Rainbow Islands Extra for de-capping last month and sent it to Guru for de-capping last week. There is a queue of protection chips that need to be decapped. Since Dr Decapitator packed up and left the scene I have bought the Japanese prototype Taito/Taoplan Slapfight A76, and a rarish Taito Return of the Invaders. It was the DU that stymied Dr Decapitators request for donations, and since then no protection chips have been de-capped.
The DU did offer support for one of my purchases only, the Donkey King I submitted before Christmas.
So far I have paid for everything that I bought.
Mameworld is full of smart arse leeches.
Hi Bizimonki et.al
How about you gormless chumps on the forum chipping in to buy some wanted games occasionally, and have them dumped, decapped and emulated.
To the DU - Good luck organising a rotating roster of people to buy PCB's.
I'm out,
Sayonara.
