DeterioratingBrains

See attachment. I find it amusing how arcade collectors have basically understood the importance of dumping due to the sheer number of ICs in the units and the low number of remaining working cabinets. I see that Nintendo collecting is still plagued by this subset of unsustainable weirdos.

I just registered to reply to some of the posts here. Star Keeper can't be dumped by normal means because the program is stored on a microcontroller which outputs the instructions and graphics when it feels like it. That is why it was never dumped, simple as that. There are a lot of despicable and heinous takes on dumping and preservation, you all need to chill. Dumping games has never devalued the original product. In fact, it has generally lead to the opposite due to the sheer popularity generated by media (blogs, youtube, streamers) coverage. But I guess some NA members still care about the e-dingy meme.
