(CLOSED) Turbo Everdrive Group Buy ORDERED!

[jtucci31]

On their way to you! I'll get tracking numbers to people tonight or tomorrow. One more tedious task and then I'm done

Hats off to ya, JT! This "plan" had me a little nervous, but looks like it's working out, one broken button notwithstanding! We have Hall of Shame threads but it's too bad we don't have ones that do the opposite, to celebrate model PCEFX citizens somehow! I think your actions here qualify for some sort of appreciation this way.

There were actually 2 reset button mishaps that i later discovered. (well 1 in addition to the one i noticed right away) But BlueBMW had me covered, so hats off to him.

My nervousness will end completely once i know everyone got their everdrives, no reset buttons were broken or any other parts for that matter, and you all play for days on end

[KingDrool]

Got mine. Thanks!

Just finished beating Street Fighter II CE with Ryu on my Turbo Express! Sucked without six buttons, but it's playable.

It's a very impressive piece of hardware, I must say... I've not seen a PCB quite like it, the thickness to match that of a HuCard and what not.

Anyway, while waiting for Bernie to see my PM, I slapped together a quick ROM collection by alphabetized folders to get around the 256 file limit per folder. Look forward to loading up Megaman 1 and 2 on this some time as well! Definitely would love to get the 3.5" LCD mod done as the native LCD panel does show its 25 years of age unfortunately; it's ugly, too small, certain fonts upon various background choices are unreadable, etc. Exceptions are like white text over black background which reads well.

Well, once again, great looking out JT, danke my good man! A regular PCEFX hero and we don't get very many of those!

[DragonmasterDan]

I got mine today as well.
JTucci,
Thanks for all the hard work in organizing, mailing and everything else involved in this!

Mine arrived yesterday. packaged well, box survived just fine.

I only had time to quickly test it out.

I used a 4gb microSD I had laying around, from something I ordered 2-3 years ago. I think Newegg had some promo where I bought something, and fro whatever reason there was a freebie 4gb MicroSD + Adapter. It took a few years, but it finally got put to use.

I tested a US game, and a Japanese game. played each for about 5 minutes each. my roms are a mess though, may need to see what other people are using here, as I read someplace here someone put together a nice set.


The slim Everdrive cover I bought from Shapeways works great. it's very snug fitting, no need to glue it down. Also, I like being able to remove it as that way I can get to certain switches easier, it's also easier to insert the MicroSD that way.


So, I am happy with everything:

-  JTucci handled this very well, it was very conscientious of him to offer this, and for 20 people!
-  The Shapeways 3D printed slim cover fits fine, it's snug enough I don't need to actually dab glue at the edges.
-  The everdrive itself works fine, though I've only put about 10minutes on it.

Just received my EverDrive at work (making  for an excruciatingly long rest of the day).

Thanks again for all your effort jtucci31!

[BlueBMW]

Mine arrived yesterday.  I wont have time to fool with it until tomorrow though

[Rosser]

Thanks jtucci31 you went above and beyond for the community. I received mine yesterday, no time to mess with it yet. I did play the rom that was already loaded the card with my GT. was the rom loaded on there by you or kriz? I'm not sure where it came form or what its for but I believe there is anime girl with boobies showing (i think small screen) if you click the right buttons    

[jtucci31]

Lol I didn't play all the everdrives so that had to be kriz. That's really weird, but free boobs!

But I'm really glad everyone is getting theirs. Hope you've all been obeying plenty. Thanks for being patient with me

[munchiaz]

got mine yesterday. Had to run out today and get a micro SD, lost the old one i had. So far its working well. Thanks again

[spenoza]

Arrived and tested. Awesome. Thanks! This was quite a bit of work on your part! I hope you feel our gratitude is at least some sliver of recompense.

Also, I suck at organizing files.

[Medic_wheat]

Will post when mine comes in 


Out of town with my wife.  In the new town. So I wont be able to check until Monday.  Lol which I will then have to wait until that following weekend to test in the new apartment.


I know 1st world problems am I right?

[KingDrool]

Alright, guys, I need some technical help.

I'm using a Mac and formatted my 32GB MicroSD card as FAT (MS-DOS). Then, I put together some alphabetized folders and put all my ROMs in there. However, when I turn on my Everdrive, I get an "Error: 62" message. Any ideas?

EDIT: I used Bernie's setup and still get the "Error: 62". Doesn't work on TurboExpress or my US Duo.  Anything special I need to be doing?

[BlueBMW]

From what I can tell  error 62 is a problem with the SD card.  Do you have another you can try?

[KingDrool]

Yep. That's what it was. For whatever reason, the Everdrive didn't like my PNY 32GB Micro SDHC. So I returned it to the store for a SanDisk 8GB Micro SDHC. Works great now.
