Update: Fundraiser Completed! The game was released by Borman / Superior Version in January 2010, thanks to everyone!
Evilhamwizard has started a new Fundraising project for an interesting proto: Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories. As he wrote in the U64 Forum:
[...] a Kingdom Hearts Re:CoM (Chain of Memories) translation prototype for the PS2, dating 10/01/08 (and for the record, the final US release was compiled on 10/21/08). The actual DVD calls this a “Preview” build of the game, which was given to gaming companies to endure. You may be saying to yourself, “why would this be good?”. Well, actually, it’s a very cool prototype. And is definitely what I want my KH2 prototype to be like once I get a chance to check it out.
This prototype basically has the following:
- DEBUG MENUS GALOR (tons of them, covering every aspect of the game)
- Minor mistranslations and spelling mistakes
- Some videos and cutscenes lack English dialog
To obtain this prototype, a donation fundraiser is required to cover the costs of paying for the game. And fortunetly, isn’t too steep. The release comes to about $225. And the great part is that as soon as the goal has been met, the game will be released immediately via MegaUpload.
Here’s the current status of the fund raiser:
Completed! The game was released by Borman / Superior Version in January 2010, thanks to everyone!
If you still have doubts about the prototype itself, you can view all the video footage available at www.justin.tv/borman18 (4 hours of footage)
Special thanks to Borman from SuperiorVersion.com for purchasing the prototype and allowing the opportunity for a public release! And thanks to DreamTR for allowing us to buy prototypes at nice prices as well. :)

i dont know, when people start a new fundrising campaign for their favourite proto, why not try to help them with some promotion on the main U64 site?
