It has now been 3 years since the DU formed, though most members were dumping in groups for years prior. Since forming, the DU has received over 500 donations totalling almost $29,000 and has helped add countless games to MAME.
The 2 games purchased in the last fundraiser were Fun Cube 5 by Namco and Gachaga Champ by Konami. Fun Cube 5 is the final Fun Cube game in the series (2-4 are in MAME) and Gachaga Champ is sort of like a Bishi Bashi game but the cabinet used dual joysticks per player.
BrianT picked up the missing I/O controller board from Rail Chase 2 which contained a rom that was still needed. Any has been dumping through his collection recently, you probably noticed a bunch of new clones he has helped add recently in whatsnews including a previously undumped version of Rastan.
We got a rare bowling game called Bowling Try. It isn't Jamma and I don't know anything about it or what the controls were like yet. We'll see.
Last but certainly not least, gamerfan got us a boardset of Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom. The hardware is an alteration of the Wii. It's a shame they didn't release more games to this hardware for arcades such as Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. All the hard work was done already and it was just abandoned. The game appears to be stored in a single flash rom on the back of the motherboard and there is a chip on the front side that contains fonts and other things according to a quick Google search. It will be a while before it's running in MAME but you can find copies for consoles pretty easily. It's a fun game if you're into fighters. The gameplay is similar to Marvel Vs. Capcom 2.
