Move to Japan and the future of this project

Hi all, long time no update, sorry ^^;

Recently, I added a few new USA revisions to the database, courtesy of Talarubi. FitzRoy also purchased many USA missing revisions that I'll be adding soon.

The big news is that I recently moved long-term to Japan. I could not unfortunately bring my full Japanese set along with me, due to its size and weight. So what this means is that we only have the most expensive 100 Japanese games in the database for now.

I did bring along Smarthuman's 50 German games, and Kester's 50 Australian games, along with my 21fx dumping hardware (courtesy of defparam.)

Once I've found a long-term apartment and furnish the place, I'll try to begin dumping and scanning again.

Basically, my plan is to continue trying to complete the PAL set first, while I am here. And when I return to the US, I can resume the Japanese set. If I run out of PAL games while I am here, then I will start buying up very inexpensive loose carts from Japan to dump. I can then just scan the boxes alone when I get back. And hey, maybe I'll find extra revisions this way!

I will use the Patreon funding to pay for buying a new scanner (it was also too bulky to bring with ... CCD scanners are seriously large!), to cover paying for FitzRoy's USA purchases, to cover shipping back and forth between people from Japan, and perhaps to buy up Japanese loose cartridges.

There's actually quite a lot of inexpensive Japanese carts I'd really like to dump sooner, so it's pretty likely I'll start amassing a miniature collection here of all the desirable games ^-^;

I'll update again once I'm more settled in here and have more concrete plans.

As before, the funding is sufficient, so if anyone needs the money, please don't feel obligated to continue funding ^^;;  But if you do, then please accept my sincerest gratitude :D
