If i hadnt alredy hit my buying cap for this month i wold try to help on MMnes spanish. If its stiil available next month, maybe, but 20 EUR is like 48 CAN .
We (well, at least me) need Apple ][ versions of the games, also TurboGrafx/PCE (I believe there are 2 versions, English and Japanese). Also Mac and PC Floppy versions of Goblins2 (2 copies each for me and DrMcCoy). LordHoto wouldn't mind more localized versions of all Kyrandias.

Heh, my problem is I hit my buying cap for at least April
Those games Eugene mentioned would certainly help, but are among the rarer games.
If anyone could at least help to track them down, eg. tell the devs where to buy it, it would already help a bit.
Beware not to post auctions in here you consider for donating, because that could skyrocket the price. So post those links only if you already bought it for donation.
Maybe, when the nintendo Revolution is released and the download service is started, they might use this version of MMNes as the old censorship policys are pretty tame to todays standards. Im not sure how the service will work (nobody is, nintendo is tight-lipped as usual) but it has been suggested that you will either pay for the games individually, or pay a monthly rate. I assume that this service would use roms for the games, probably/possibly in some other format then *.nes, *.snes, etc. for protective reasons. It is really too early to speculate, but, i have to say that im stoked about this service, it seems to be a potential resource for legally obaining alternate versions/languages of the game.
I neglected to think that there is only one copy of this in existance
so support for this would be a completely unfair thing to ask the team,
the cartridge has been tracked but support is out of the question because it would require people to play an illegal dump of the cartridge,
something that the SCUMMVM team wish to avoid.
Its actually the best option as well because it could potentially damage the legality of the SCUMMVM project and nobody wants that
this rarity is best left as a rarity

I bought Loom PCE in the past, but didn't know it used custom file system at the time. eriktorbjorn bought the US version of Loom PCE too. I don't think anyone on team owns the Japanese version of Loom PCE.
An extraction utility was created (Thanks to Quietust) for code track of the CD, but the format of several resource types is unknown and there has been no further progress.

I happen to own three copies of the Japanese version of Loom PCE. I'm willing to donate one to a ScummVM developer if someone whats to work on that topic.
*BUMP*
Just had a thought, is anyone interested in creating a donation to possibly buy the MM NES prototype for donation to the ScummVM team? it wouldnt be for support(most likely due to the fact there is only one known copy in existance)
but more so as a thank you for all the hard work they have and continue to do.
I still have a contact for the owner of the cartridge
and if there is any interest I can attempt to fire up a conversation about purchasing it.
