edited the price. I forgot to add the shell price. So its would be $121 per person if we got 10 or more. Ill keep this up for a lil bit, but if it sees no interest, im just going to buy one. Don't want to have to wait very long

I'm in, shell or no shell.

I'd suggest to get just the board. You can get the shell from any cheapie.

Post by: xelement5x on February 28, 2014, 08:17:03 AM
I might be interested, but put me down as a maybe.  I'd also prefer without a shell since I have plenty of old ea or menacer 6-in-1 carts.
Title: Re: IC: Flash cart group buy(Mega EverDrive)
Post by: wallzter on February 28, 2014, 11:45:29 AM
Im also interested.  Count me in.

Hey, i have a question.... whats the difference between this mega everdrive and the mega everdrive v3 that's much cheaper selling for $78?
Title: Re: IC: Flash cart group buy(Mega EverDrive)
Post by: esadajr on March 02, 2014, 03:34:01 AM
The more expensive one has faster loading times, supports bigger roms, has an in game menu (special for couch potatoes) and may be used as a Sega CD ram cart.
Title: Re: IC: Flash cart group buy(Mega EverDrive)
Post by: TheClash603 on March 02, 2014, 06:34:35 AM
If you get the shell, will they be arriving complete?

The only way I am  interested is if I do not have to do anything and it is fully built.  I am a moron and couldn't figure it out otherwise.

Title: Re: IC: Flash cart group buy(Mega EverDrive)
Post by: munchiaz on March 02, 2014, 07:26:51 AM
do you guys know if i can order some with the shell, and some without? I'll try to get an answer for this as well

My guess is probably not.

Edit: I was wrong :)

Title: Re: IC: Flash cart group buy(Mega EverDrive)
Post by: xelement5x on March 04, 2014, 08:31:56 AM
So after some reevaluating I am probably down with this, shell or no shell.  This is the one with the FPGA right, that could technically also offer FM for SMS games down the line?
Title: Re: IC: Flash cart group buy(Mega EverDrive)
Post by: Mathius on March 04, 2014, 02:41:17 PM
I'm in. I definitely want the shell.
Title: Re: IC: Flash cart group buy(Mega EverDrive)
Post by: jeffhlewis on March 05, 2014, 02:26:45 AM
I could go either way on the shell - easy enough to cannibalize a cart if need be.
Title: Re: IC: Flash cart group buy(Mega EverDrive)
Post by: munchiaz on March 07, 2014, 04:10:30 AM
ok, so i emailed the support team, and i can make an order consisting of units with shells, and units without shells. Please let me know what you guys want, and we ca go from there
Title: Re: IC: Flash cart group buy(Mega EverDrive)
Post by: esadajr on March 07, 2014, 04:50:48 AM
Just the board for me. I'll begin making a rare shell and box.

Toss my name in the hat if it's not too late. Been meaning to get one at some point anyway. Will the shell have a snazzy little everdrive label affixed to it? If so, I'll do the shell.
Title: Re: IC: Flash cart group buy(Mega EverDrive)
Post by: jeffhlewis on March 11, 2014, 03:11:42 AM

Finally got a chance to play with mine over the weekend.  I was a bit concerned at first because I couldn't get the OS to load, but I discovered that an older or knock off SD card may have issues with the device. 

I was using a 16MB (yes MB, that's not a misspelling) SD card and it wouldn't pick that up.  I switched to a newer 8GB microSD and everything worked great.  The bios switching for SegaCDs is the main reason I picked this up, and it performed pretty well for most games that I played with.
