I would be more than comfortable paypaling the money and being put on a spreadsheet that Kevin would maintain. I have neevr had any worries with any of the projects he has created, I look forward to it!!
Mine are a little spread out. I have a couple aimtrak guns and an Xarcade setup which I eventually want to build into an arcade gun mame cabinet but havn’t had the time yet.
I believe asking to provide a working prototype prior to funding is missing the entire point of the funding. The ask is to provide funding to allow the developer the time to properly put forth to create the product without having to make too much of a financial sacrifice to their own livelihood. I would be very skeptical myself except for the vast amount of work and releases that M.K. has already produced without any funding and has provided to the community out of free will.
Or acknowledged that M.K. decoded Mario’s Tennis to allow multiplayer and provided the patch to the community for all to enjoy? These are only examples from the past couple months. I am relatively new to this community but can see the hard work and time that was put in.
This is awesome. The majority of my extended family lives in Rochester and I try to take my kids to the Strong Museum once a year. I knew they had a collection of vintage games (and arcade) but I was not aware they had the VB!
Teleroboxer was always my ultime favorite, then Wario World, Jack Bros and Insmouse are now up there but I didn’t get to enjoy them until the Flashboy most recently because I can’t afford the cartridges.
