Very nice vid.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it!

Yeah, very nicely made video! What video editing/making software did you use to create it ?? That's what I need, I still don't know what to use to make a decent video like that with some basic effects as you did.

I started using Final Cut Pro with, I believe episode 7 which was the golf roundup.  Prior to that I was using iMovie.  If you're using PC instead of Mac, then I hear that Sony Vegas is very good.

Just saw it Jibba nice video! And I just saw the N8 review!

You're using Final Cut Pro X, I recognize the transitions (I think they're also in iMovie). Sucks that FCPX can't capture video game footage. You have to use Quicktime, Final Cut Pro 7 or something else.

Not sure how I would capture video game footage with FCP, anyway.  I run my consoles though a Micomsoft  RGB -> s-video converter, which passes the s-video on to a DVD recorder which I have set on the highest quality (1 hour) setting.  I rip the DVD with MPEG Stream Clip on my computer, and import the DV into FCP. It's nice because then I can hang on to the DVDs for possible future use.  Because of the amount of space that DV takes up, I only save the exported masters of my videos on my computer.  The raw footage and FCP projects all go to the trash.

For those in the US looking for a Turbo Everdrive, they seem to be in stock again at Stone Age Gamer. My brother and I each ordered one last night.

As a side note I had ordered a MD Everdrive from Retrogate in Europe and the same brother ordered a Turbo Everdrive from them.
My multicart showed up in the mail three weeks later but his never arrived. It seems to have died in customs. It has been 5 weeks now, I think. When he contacted Retrogate the seller did not seem too concerned about it. That really sucks and is frustrating. Who knows though it may eventually show up. I once ordered a cable for the Apple 2 computer from eastern Europe and after two month it didn't show up. Seller refunded me and made a claim with the post office. A month later it was on my porch....

Anyway, I have some questions about how the Turbo Everdrive works. The roms on the SD card do they need to be patched for region or does it not matter. Just like loading roms in MagicEngine?

Also my PCE-Duo-r has a region switch installed. Will this have any effect on using the Turbo Everdrive?

The Krikzz site is back up. It was down last night when I went looking for answers to my questions above.

The site has a link to this review that explains its all.

Retrogate is solid, the shipping may take a while but he stands by his product and if there are issues my experience is he will take care of it.

And no a region switch won't affect the functionality of the everdrive. There is a region switch built into the device as well.

Krikzz put out a warning on the Everdrive forums about using it on a system with a chip-based region mod though:

Mods with IC buffer may work only in read mode and obstruct all outputs from data bus. Also, region modded systems sometimes may hangs randomly. I would not use turbo-ed with region modded system, unstable bus be an cause of some random operations, it may destroy everdrive bios

Mine works perfectly fine on both my region modded Duo-R and TG-16 though, both of which use the Obey chip.

thanks for the info. I look forward to getting the everdrive. My current multicart is an older 32mb printer port version. Works good but doesn't fit too much.

about retrogate, we didn't get the impression he was too concerned  but IMO its still too early to worry. International packages sometimes get held up. Just so happens that my order placed the same night has been delivered for a week already.

Got my Turbo Everdrive from Stone Age Gamer. Love it. It is really tight in the slot of my Duo-r and Turbo Express. Is that normal? Any worry of it damaging the slot?

[ApolloBoy]

It's normal, the Turbo Everdrive is a little thicker than most HuCards so that's to be expected.

I got my TE last week and love it.

I don't have any type of case for it. I plan to use it solely in my PCE Duo , which has that folding flap that covers hucards. Is there any reason to get a case if I use it in this way? It should be protected sufficiently right?
