It is stated a few times in this thread that "SNKP has no organization, their a mess, have no structure or power and cannot do anything anymore" well, not that I disagree, but obviously someone there still has some power or control because in another thread here wasn't it stated that they managed to get police to raid the offices of Square / Enix for alleged copyright violations?
Obviously they can't be completely insignificant and powerless if they were able to throw their weight around like that?
Also, regardless of the above, who really knows how much of the Warlocks game is owned by SNK & how much is owned by Astec21 or (as was mentioned before) if either one even has an actual copy of the game. So we could just end up running in circles with no idea of where to go and who to propose to. It's too complicated, I think. It's easier to just go another route.
The copy of the game that is actually sitting in the store display case is more tangible. The kickstarter should be to raise whatever the funds are that the owner of the cartridge wants for the item and just buy it from them. Then at that point, the community either makes a production run whereas to help return the funds to the donors, or if "the heat would be too risky because SNK might sue, etc." then just dump the roms as shareware and everyone builds their own carts (if they want or can) or they contact those of us in the community that do that kind of work.
