Update 4/21:

ok I had so many options available I wanted to streamline it into 3 main options that everyone can choose from:


Core Package $80+shipping
just the Everdrive PCB. Your a modder, you got the time, no problem! You will need to get a game with the proper CIC chip, for US you will want CIC-6102. I got mine from NFL Quarterback 98 & 99. There are lists on the internet or send me an email (I have an excel spreadsheet with CIC list for every region.  

Note - we are getting V2 boards, this photo is just so you know this is just the bare PCB, that's it







Basic Package - $92 + shipping (note this is with a printed label, without it's 89 as I previously quoted)
Your not comfortable desoldering chips and resoldering, or your dremel work will be sketchy...no problem, this one is for you (or your just cramped for time). Includes:

* Required CIC chip installed (note I only have access to NTSC US games, so if you need elsewhere shoot me a PM)
* Dremel work for SD slot (I can show you later an Everdrive MD I did, very clean)
* Label - again this is optional for this package, remove $3 if you don't want a label
* Gray cart used - from the donor CIC game





Deluxe Package - $101 +  shipping

You eye-balled the deluxe packages elsewhere but never liked that over the top deluxe price....this option is for you. You get all the work done, a label, a case with insert, and a simple instruction card.

You get:

* Everything from the basic package
* Universal Game Case
* Glossy insert for the game case
* Simple instruction card for your Everdrive
* Label for the cart




Pick your package - send over 50% deposit of the selected package to my paypal (send me a PM). I will notify when the Everdrive arrive and work is finished. 2nd payment is due before they ship out to you.

Please send payment as a gift or add a few bucks to cover fees. I am not doing this to make $$$ more of a service for those that need help installing or want to get a deal on the PCB. And like you want to get a discount on an Everdrive. If this works out well you can expect me to possibly organize more of these.

Also - Everdrives require SD cards - these are easily available so not going to setup options to buy. Just an idea I just bought an 8GB on ebay for $6, just make sure the seller is selling you a genuine card since those work better than the fakes / copies

I could be interested

[BlueBMW]

I may be interested also.  Ive used one briefly and I have to say its pretty sweet!

[bartre]

f*ck.
yeah, i'd be in, the price was the only thing keeping me away.
why does the internet want to break my bank account...

[Duo_R]

Bump could be false hope but I bought 6 cartridges that can be donors for chip / casing for an Everdrive. Sign up if interested I am going to ping the other forums, once we get to 10 gonna place the order. Cant wait to get this for my RGB modded N64 (and with my component converter).

[Deletion]

I'd be interested.

[Dalder]

I would be interested !

what about SD 2 SNES, Everdrive for Master System. TurboEverdrive, Famicom everdrive and Game Gear everdrive ? I would be interested in these as well thanks !
I already have the Sega Genesis Mega Everdrive.

[SMF]

I may be interested in this. Let me know when and how much.

[Duo_R]

Ok i will put up some cost analysis so you guys can see the savings.

Also unfortunately we can't mix and match for a discount but worry not i plan to do a few more group buy for many of the other systems you mentioned.

Single Everdrive Cost      
   CIC Chip   $15
   Shell   $15
   Everdrive   $99.99
      $129.99
                  + shipping from overseas (for 1 unit shipping was $5 on my test order)
             $135 approx with the CIC / Shell, about $105 + without      
      
Groupbuy Cost:      
   Everdrive    $80
   Ship cost / delivery $4 (estimate, you pay exact USPS shipping fees)
   Estimate:   $84

OPTIONAL: CIC / Shell / Install - $7

   Approx $91 with the CIC installed and shell

This cart requires a CIC chip for your region, Retrogate charges $15 for the chip and another $15 for the shell (pretty pricey). I have some NTSC CIC chips and shells that I got from games that came with the needed CIC chip. I have included install cost above but that is totally optional, if you have your own game (make sure it has the right chip) then you can take off $7 from the cost. I am just passing on the couple bucks that I bought them for and doing $5 for the install (I desolder and resolder for you).

Also - the delivery cost is just an estimate, you pay actual shipping to your house + the shared group ship cost. I need to get an estimate so this may go up or down slightly. Overall you can see you get a pretty good deal on the Everdrive.

UPDATE: The group ship cost is only $5 according to my test order



This is just an estimate to give everyone an idea, don't forget the CIC chip and a shell is required.

[Duo_R]

also if you PM me your address I can get you estimate of the shipping cost to your house, then we can assume a few extra bucks for the overseas shared cost.

[Duo_R]

UPDATE: Just did a test order, the delivery overseas is only $5 for the entire order, if that is the case the actual shipping costs will drop, again PM me for estimate to your door.

[Duo_R]

Ok got an email from the retrogate people. $805 is the quote for 10 units shipped to my house. Then just USPS shiooing to your house if you dont need CIC and case.  I got 1 PM requesting actual shipping charges I wont be back home until late tomorrow so I can send estimates on Thur. You guys in?

[BlueBMW]

Im in!

[roflmao]

If this for pretty much any other retro console, I'd be in, but alas my N64 was stolen (out of my car no less!).  Good luck on the group buy, though.  I bet you'll have no trouble filling orders.
