Ultra Loader started as a solo passion project built on the belief that arcade games belong to everyone. Every hour spent on it is an hour spent writing cores, reverse engineering hardware protocols, debugging USB enumeration, and making sure the games that shaped an era do not disappear. There is no company behind this. No investor. No team. Just by someone who loves arcade games and wants to see them preserved and playable forever, for free. Your support goes directly toward keeping that work going.
A note on monetary contributions: Support, donations and contributions go towards funding development, hardware for testing, and server and site costs. Nothing goes to locking features or content behind a tier. Ever. Every person who downloads Ultra Loader gets the same software and the same capabilities...and it will always be free, regardless of the community's financial support. Give only if your heart tells you to!
Patreon
Donate just one time, or become a monthly supporter. This is solely to support us and help us cover ongoing costs with site maintenance and other recurring expenses. There is no exclusive benefits, or early access features. We will never repeat the mistakes of the past, and the mission is and remains noble and pure. Everyone gets the same software, and the same access to all games once working. No gatekeeping or paywalls. Your support is deeply appreciated and welcome.
Support on PatreonBuy Me a Coffee
No commitment, no account required. This is for those people who just wanna drop a quick "thank you" in support and keep it moving. If your favorite game works and you agree with what we do, then this is the button to press. Any donation or financial support is welcome. No amount is too low, and every dollar that comes in will be used for transparent and relevant purposes, not to live it up on the backs of the community, vacationing on a yacht in Europe, and getting drunk with your buddies...
Buy a CoffeeIf you cannot contribute financially, that is completely fine! Just spread the word! Share the project with someone who would appreciate it or who might be able to help with coding and development. Report bugs. Post about it on social media. That matters just as much, if not even more!
Thank you for being here. Arcade games deserve better. We are trying to give them that.
