Turbo Everdrive PC Engine / Turbografx 16 Flash Card Nearing Release

[gameofyou]

will there be a case for it? what would be the best way to store it? total noob on this end btw.

Mine will come in a small re-sealable antistatic bag.  You can just keep it in the bag when not in use.

Too bad the everdrive won't have the plastic coating to make it look all pretty like the neoflash, or will it?

It wont. Too costly to produce.

If it's like the other Everdrives, stores will sell versions with cases and other bundled items. Of course, it'll be more expensive. I bought a Everdrive MD for 80$ or whatever it was, but there were versions available with a case and other things for 120$ or 140$.

If you just want a storage case, it should fit in an old laptop PCMCIA card case. It should be thin enough..

I PM'ed the creator and asked him about how much is it gonna cost WITH shipping to the USA and he said $85 bucks!!!!! Done deal, I'm buying it!! If it works as expected, that's a very respectable pricepoint! Just hope there are no bugs/issues in the first batch. I'll probably wait though until feedback starts coming in after he starts making a first couple of sales to people, see what they say.

I'll also wait for the first batches to ship, just in case there are any issues. But I'm very happy with my Everdrive MD so I'm pretty confident he'll do a good job of it.

[NightWolve]

Ah OK, so you can vouch for his other flash carts. I was gonna ask you how the MD version works.

[SamIAm]

Is there any word on whether this fits in a Supergrafx yet?

[NightWolve]

I asked him about price from his youtube account, he responded, so doesn't hurt to ask, but can you take a screenshot of what would be the problem? I read something earlier from ccovell about switches on both sides and what not. Take a clear picture of a HuCard with the power switch turned on and I'll be happy to PM it to him and ask if it was brought to his attention, etc. It might already be too late with him only having addressed the SD card placement issue on the left side.

[SamIAm]

These two images sum up the situation well. The first photo is a SGX compared to a DUO-RX. In addition, notice how the green bit goes over the card in the 2nd photo.





If you could let him know about this, that would be great.

EVERYDRIVE.

[Duo_R]

is he taking pre-orders on this?

[NightWolve]

Ah, I got it, switches can be on the left and the right. OK, I'll PM him right now, otherwise I'll forget later.

Just fyi, the lowcost flash HuCard will definately fit, if there are issues with Everdrive.  I have made it so that there is only a small connector in the center.

You guys know you can post in the forum Krikkzz manages about the Everdrives, right?  Here's the PCE Everdrive thread (now 17 pages long)  I imagine he's there far more often than Youtube and he does respond to posts.  You'll also get very up to date information by checking here.
