What Your Support Funds​

  • Development time: new features, bug fixes, and expanding platform support
  • Server infrastructure: hosting for the website, Zaparoo Online, and community resources
  • Hardware for testing: new readers, platforms, and NFC toys to verify compatibility
  • Community support: maintaining the Discord, documentation, and helping users

Why Support Matters​

Zaparoo supports an unusually wide range of hardware and platforms (MiSTer, Windows, SteamOS, Batocera, RePlayOS, LibreELEC, and more) and keeping all of that working takes real, ongoing effort. Every purchase, sponsorship, or subscription means more time can go into making it better.

For Businesses​

If your business or venue uses Zaparoo commercially, please consider sponsoring the project. Sponsoring the project helps keep the software maintained and signals your support for open-source development.
