First of all, let me state many games have been added to arcade emulators or improved because of the efforts of people who have donated towards 'archiving' arcade PCBs. I'm 100% dedicated to this task.

If you would like to donate towards another PCB Shop Raid, you can donate either by .....
  • I can now directly accept donations via Paypal.
    The easiest way is to go to the main page and click the PAYPAL Button in the right column.

    If you're still not sure, contact me directly via the link below.
    WARNING: DO NOT SEND REGULAR EMAILS TO THIS ACCOUNT. IT IS FOR PAYPAL DONATIONS ONLY.
    EMAILS TO THIS ACCOUNT WILL NOT BE RECEIVED AND WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DELETED.
     
  • Emailing me (inquiries plus cash & money order donations)

  • Buying one of the PCB's HERE, or one of the PCB's listed on my site.

  • Sending me PCB's to sell

    If you donate money, please remember you agree to the following....

    ITEM 1. The donation can have no strings attached to it and we must be allowed to
    use the money to purchase and ship any arcade-game PCB we want to, regardless of what
    type of game it is, who made it, how old it is, how easy or hard it is to emulate, etc., etc.
        Please remember, many PCBs are not common, we can't conjure them up from thin air.
    That is, if you send us insufficient funds and request a game board that is not available
    for purchase somewhere, your request will be impossible to fulfill. In such case, your
    money can be kept until such time that your requested PCB is available somewhere, or
    we will pool it with the rest of our funds and use that for general purchases of undumped PCBs.

    There are 2 exceptions to this rule....

       
    We will allow you to select which game you desire under 2 conditions....
             A.
    We must have the full amount of money to buy that item, either wholly from you
                 or from multiple donations that you send us (from a collection of people or sources).
             B. The item you request us to buy MUST actually be available for purchase somewhere.
         
    ITEM 2. We can make no guarantees that any PCBs we buy will be in working order, that they won't
    get lost or damaged in transit, that they will be dumpable, that they will be emulatable, or that
    they will be emulatable soon.

    ITEM 3. There can be no time limits on how long we can hold the money before it is spent.

    ITEM 4. We can't be held responsible if anything goes wrong, if the board is damaged during the dumping process, or dies for some unknown reason afterwards, or even if funds or boards are irretrievably lost. This also applies to loaned PCBs.

    ITEM 5. All donations once received are non-refundable. If you are unsure about making a donation, then just don't do it. Please don't come crying to us afterwards if you accidentally send us a donation that was not meant to reach us.

I can't do it alone, but together we can ensure that undumped PCB's get dumped and the games are then available to everyone.

All PCB's will eventually be re-sold and the funds from that will go towards purchasing more undumped PCB's. Any PCB on loan will be returned to the owner as soon as possible.

You can also donate to the project by buying one of these PCB's which will *eventually* be available (once we have finished with it) via Filtek Australia at this page

Please don't ask for me to send you (the donator) ROM's that are dumped from these PCB's. If I have to do that with every PCB I dump, I would have no time to dump them, and also, I'm only on a lowly 56k modem which is slow, as you know.

Thanks !
