MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - Re: HELP WANTED: MAME Preservationists

Thank you for your reply Stiletto,

The purpose of this post was to invite other preservationists to a chat for the purposes of making preserving arcade systems easier for newer users or preservationists from one project to interface with other projects.

Many of us have been dumpers on redump.org and no-intro for years and years. Needless to say, we're not looking to start a competing group, but more to keep lines of communication open between pre-existing projects.

For example, one of our VGPC users / redumper has several undumped Sega Mega-Tech System games. Ideally one or two MAME / arcade preservation enthusiasts might be around in the chat to guide him on how to submit to MAME or even dump the carts. I have found these kinds of channels of communication are essential for guiding new contributors into projects.

I understand the difficulty for helping MAME vs most other preservation projects has a much higher bar set, but coordination between preservationists has proved useful already for other projects, and we would love to extend an invitation to any MAME preservationists that would like to join our chat.

Thanks for your time, keep up the great work.
