Hello,
I would like to join the community to assist in providing materials for archival and preservation. I already help other communities such as Archive.org and MobyGames.com.

I've got a pretty constant flow of video games that come across my desk and I aim to legally preserve what I can for the various communities out there. I only recently was asked to help preserve some rather scarce materials in the form of a dump and had to come here to find out more. After reading more, I believe this is an area I can either help provide new dumps but also verification dumps. Plus, I always enjoy a passionate and enthusiastic community.
I've already purchased a LG WH16NS40 as recommended in the redump guide and have installed it and demoed it. Here are those results:
