Team Europe are going to set themselves up to dump e-kara carts (Sean dumped 3, so we have cart pinout etc. established already)

They've picked up some batches of US and European carts but could help with covering the funds (about $50 worth)

*edit* done

There are also probably 100 Japanese carts for it that will need dumping at some point, so it's worthwhile them getting this setup, so if anybody wants to donate those for dumping in the future they can. (although not the priority right now)

On a related note, I've been working improving some XaviX stuff myself

The current state of e-kara is

obviously will be more interesting once inputs and sound work properly, but it's still promising.

Also XaviX, I started adding controls to Monster Truck

and got Fooball + Madden Football to get a bit further

Also got Lord of the Rings booting to a title screen

(and of course there's the Taito / Namco nostalgia stuff I've covered in recent blog updates)

Not Xavix, but I made this Kyle Hodgetts junk playable

Peter and Shoutime are working together to pick up a few Japanese XaviX titles, but Peter is funding that out of his own pocket. (although again, help might come in handy at some point, because it's a lot of work and money getting some of these out of Japan, but if that's the case I'll mention it another time)

Everything we can get (that we don't already have) helps with figuring out the details of this thing, because while it's a lot of individual games, the architecture of very much like one of a console, so all sorts of ways to do things.

but yeah, if people could donate a it to Team Europe for picking up these e-kara carts and stuff to build a dumping rig, that would help at this stage :-)
