My email looked like this:

Note to recipient GCW-Zero Standard Edition 1 Unit Per Unit cost: $60.00 Subtotal: $60.00 Shipping/handling: $10.00 Total Due: $80.00

I presume this $80 is a typo, since of course 60 + 10 = 70, and the payment requested is USD70.00, or is GCW requesting I pay another $10 to cover the warranty?
I play games on: Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, GBA SP, NDS Phat, NeoGeo Pocket Color, Panasonic 3DO, Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Nomad, Sega CDX w/Power Base Converter, PlayStation, Sega Saturn, PC, EGP1000, Dingoo A330, LetCool N350JP, and (soon) GCW-Zero SE.

I don't want to mess with this any longer. Someone here said that googlepay gave Pandora buyers problems.

GCW: please tell me if the PO box address in Missouri is yours and if I should make the check out to GCW/GCW Co./Game Consoles Worldwide. I'll send a check, it'll get there in a couple days. No intermediaries, no prepaid credit card surcharges, no more hassle. I sure as hell don't want my shipment delayed because some company that doesn't know or care about what's going on here decides it's in my best interest to stop my payment.

I still like my idea. Ship them as the payments come in. If we're going to start experimenting with payment methods then there's no sense in holding up everyone if a few payments get held up.
Nothing in my email from either gcw or paypal other than a couple of games that I bought from gog the other day and paid via paypal... I'm still only about halfway through yesterday's post in this thread and have yet to login into my paypal acct through paypal and see if there were any transactions since Fri...

[EDIT]
Initially from the original wording I was kind of expecting the bill for the balance to come via mail and was just planning on writing out a check for it...

@propsero
IIRC MIPS has an SIMD instruction set similar to NEON/MMX/etc. and I think that this chip supports, as I think that was one of the 4750 "extras" over the '40 but it's been a while since I looked at the datasheets, and MIPS in general(pretty much fell over my radar for over half a decade...)

Amazon payment: non-US users I think will have a problem, but I know that people paying for KS "worked around" that by providing a fake address or something... a google will turn up info, doesn't apply to me so I didn't pay much attention...

OK I am going to ask you guys for some help.

Here are a few emulators that are ported. Please list some games from this list of emulators that you would like to see demoed. I will do a video for SOME of the games. If things don't sound right graphics are missing or whatever let me know. I will pass it on but don't use this as a chance to troll, bag, or criticize the devs, the system, or ANY other system.

SNES - Pocketsnes, snes9x4gcw
Genesis/Sega CD - Picodrive
SMS/GG - sms_sdl, usms
GB/GBC - gambette, gnuboy
NES - FCEU320
Lynx - HandyA320
Atari 7800 - prosystem, dingux-7800

I will list the rest of the emulators in another feedback post provided this one goes ok.

Nope, no refund request yet via checking direct with paypal either... I'd really prefer just to leave mine as is anyways... as I might not have time(and/or forget) to check again over the next few days...

@qbert

IF you dont get a PayPal refund within 48 hours your paypal-order will run through paypal and you have to do nothing - as i understood it.

Like I said "I will list the rest of the emulators in another feedback post provided this one goes ok."  ;D
Besides dosbox is not ported it does not have sound yet.

Compared to the PSP and wanting to see if they run well...

SNES:
- Final Fantasy III....slowdown during battle animations, even in the beginning (i.e. Fire/Ice/Bolt Beam, Bio Blast)
- Chrono Trigger...magic animations Lightning 2, Dark Matter, Dreamless, etc.
- Seiken Densetsu 3...again, slowdown during magic animations and weapon techs
- Super Mario RPG...slow in battle, esp. magic attacks
- Kirby's Dreamland 3...so slow as to be mostly unplayable throughout
- Yoshi's Island...same as above.
- Megaman X3...slowdown with a lot of on-screen action (Hopefully this will run the MMX3 Zero Project since it crashes on PSP)
- DKCs...DKC2 runs fine mostly but DKC1 needs to have layers removed, even on stage 1-1 & 1-2 to run smoothly.

Typically anything that can run these games that came near the end of the SNES era can run most others.

Sega:

- Sonic 2, S3&K.  Sonic 2 runs fine except for Metropolis zone.  S3&K is pretty good throughout on PSP.

I don't have a refund email, so I guess I'm okay.

As for testing I have only one request for SNES: Kirby 3


@Prospero: are those games that the A320 has trouble playing or just your favorites? I'm not trying to flame but I think his time would be better spent on showing games that were known to have issues on previous hardware. I know he already did Secret of Mana in a video he posted just two days ago and I can remember him already testing Donkey Kong Country, Mario World, Mario RPG, Mario Kart and Yoshi's Island.
