Nintendo NES Everdrive - taking pre-orders

[Duo_R]

I did the group buy for PCE, but I think it was the 2nd one. What happened that was a headache? Might be good to learn from it. :-)

I was referring to this one.

I shouldn't say that the group buy itself was a hassle, but the "hidden" charge that I wasn't made aware of until after the checkout was finished that was upsetting. A lot of trips to the post office, keeping track of who paid what and how much, etc. There is a lot that goes into it, but it's the gratification you get from making a member's day that makes it worth it in the end.

Ah that was you! Thats right I did do that one. Overall went smooth. You understand what i am going through now then. ;-)

I wanted to give that flash cart to my bro-in-law but of course it doesnt work on my bro-in-laws system.... :-(

I am going to try maybe replacing the 7805 and see if that helps.

The neo works on every system I own(ed). Guess I got lucky.

Well, if you do one later for the systems I'm interested in, you can definitely count me in if financially able.

Check out the poll I posted for the next one

Yeah it worked great on all my systems just not my bro-in-laws TG16 that I modded for him. It just had a regular 8PDT in it.

The NES / fami units arrived today

[Duo_R]

hey guys - a small bit of bummer news - I didn't have enough time to post but the package arrived pretty beat up, all the boards looked fine inside with the exception of one - it was kinda bent. Clearly a large box hit this one pretty hard. I assumed that unit off the bat - I am dealing with Krikzz so I can wait for a replacement.

I tested all the units, and I assigned them to members as I pulled them out. Unfortunately one member's unit wasn't working even thought it looked fine. That member has already been contacted and aware (and thankfully very patient)!

So I am waiting on Krikzz for replacements on those. If anyone has a Gyromite converter I can take my extra fami board and make another NES N8 for this member - if you got one please hook it up!

But besides that all other boards tested and working fine. The SD slots were made today, turned out really nice. I going to do a batch paint of the units that requested custom coloring tonight. This one should move pretty quick.

Again thanks again to the member who was impacted (like my unit) and being so cool about it. Krikzz is a cool guy and should take care of this no problem. I am also going to do a small guide on how to use this, there are things like using the Game Genie codes that won't work unless you know how to follow a specific sequence.

Thanks everyone!

Batch painting is almost done.

Also email coming soon to everyone on final payment + shipping. For simplicity and mail safety sending via priority mail.

Looking awesome!  I hope you have another group buy in the future when my finances are a little more stable.

[Jibbajaba]

Hey man, let me know when we can meet up.  I can just pay you in person.

[Duo_R]

Hey Jibba since yours didn't have paint pretty much good to go.  I can do it this week, shoot me a PM.
