If a group of people wants to join up and seriously try to tackle this I am all for it. I've already been doing this on my own along with brolly for the past couple years. We once had a shot at a huge Bandai RX-78 collection to get dumped but it ended up going for $1400+. We just can't do that between 3 people, we need more help.
If you've seen my other posts I've already dumped and scanned a lot of PC98 games, and I spent thousands doing that as well as Famicom Disk System games. You can see my stuff at
http://www.gamingalexandria.com. I'm not saying this to brag I'm saying this to show how serious I am, but I need others that are serious too. I'd love to form a dedicated group! Like brolly said, I don't know if we can count on other groups having done this previously ever releasing their stuff. Hopefully they will eventually but to be sure I'd rather just do it myself and actually release it for all to use. Like brolly said though time is of the essence as these disks will die sooner rather than later. Heck a fair chunk of the PC98 games I received weren't dumpable.
I would avoid buying from Ebay unless it's a good deal, Yahoo Japan is much more reasonably priced. It would be ideal if we had someone in Japan we could get most of this stuff mailed to, scanned and dumped but that's a lot for one person to take on. I don't mind doing it but shipping to the US is pricey.
Anyway, let me know your thoughts if you're interested.
