The Mikado Method, eh?
(All together)
Three junior devs at work are we,
Busy and harried as devs can be,
Compiler warnings flowing freely,
Three junior devs at work!
(Alice) Everything is a source of bugs! (Laughter)
(Bob) When they wrote this, were they on drugs? (Laughter)
(Carlos) Don’t touch our “World’s Best Coder” mugs! (Laughter)

My apologies; I misunderstood your concept. I thought that you were talking about setting up some kind of central clearing house for funds, but now I see that you’re suggesting more of an automated report which is compiled for each user, locally, for them to act on manually at periodic intervals. That does seem to sidestep most of the legal issues.
Sorry, I don’t have any experience with that. I only played Wii and GCN games on my Wii. I switched to a Wii-U for the convenience of direct HDMI output.
I would also go with a Wii. Just know that you will probably need a Y-cable to use an external drive (even an SSD), since the Wii’s USB ports max out at a pretty low current.
I think that only a small number of Wiis were produced that don’t support GCN games. It should be easy to tell by looking for the 4 GCN controller ports under a side flap.
SATA modded Sony network adapter (it must be an original Sony unit) with a 1TB or less SSD (for compatibility reasons)
Is that 1TB compatibility issue with SSDs or with PSBBN? I’m using FHDB (basically FMCB on internal storage) and OPL with a 2TB SATA HDD without any issues. My understanding is that 2TB is the limit with this setup.
PS2 can only run PS1 games (close to) natively from optical discs. The system that switches the PS2 over to PS1 mode can only be triggered physically by the drive, and once in PS1 mode the console can no longer access most of the PS2 hardware, including any storage attached to the network adapter.
There is a way to “convert” PS1 games to run from internal storage (POPStation), but it actually just wraps the PS1 image in a software emulator for PS2.
Is the main issue really tracking and consolidating microdonations, or is it transferring credit between these donation systems and traditional finance entities like banks and credit card networks?
From what I’ve seen, efforts to develop microtransaction/microdonation systems generally seem to have trouble with regulatory compliance, either through legitimate legal requirements that force them to do things that seem nonsensical to their users (My guess is that the registered servers issue OP mentioned with Flattr came down to this), or due to greedy intermediaries stalling and witholding under false pretences while they hold out for a bigger share of the money, without appreciating the already extremely thin margins involved.
I appreciate the touch of making this with generative AI. Unless someone went to the effort of deliberately writing “VIbc coam” on the spine.
Frieren (Sousou no Furiren, "Frieren and the Funeral). It’s about what happens after the quest is finished. The elven mage Frieren was part of a band of adventurers that defeated the big bad many years ago. Before the party splits up and she goes off to travel the world studying magic, the group all agree to meet again in the future, after many years.
This is where the main story starts. Due to her elven heritage, Frieren has hardly aged at all. When she comes back, she’s just in time to see the human leader of the old party one last time before he dies, and she attends his funeral. She goes searching for the other old party members, and along the way she accidentally picks up some new friends and becomes the leader of a new party, having various adventures and run-ins with new bad guys.
