TED Group Buy Round 2! ORDERED!

[elmer]

Looks like almost everything else is going smoothly now (thank god). Thanks again for being patient everyone. I still wouldn't mind doing more in the future. I was thinking maybe a "whatever everdrive you want" group buy since the discount is for money amounts now.

But that's for a later date.

Thanks again!

My 3 arrived just fine ... but I've been too busy to actually try them out, yet.

[Renmauzo]

Just got mine in today, and it works perfectly. Thanks to all the guys that posted up tutorial steps and tech help, ended up making the setup really easy.

...and of course, thank you so much jtucci for setting this up and taking care of everything; it's been a pleasure to be included in the buy!

Just wondering if that system happened to be a US Turbo Grafx 16...

I'm using it on a Turbo Express. First thing I did was change the region toggle switch from PCE to TG-16.

Thanks.  If you have a US Turbo console, be sure to test it as it seems that several of us are having issues with the TEDv2 on it.

I test drove mine over the weekend and found it works, but I have to fiddle around with the RX's power switch to keep it from hitting the sd card.  Such poor design means I'll probably be using the ol' neo flash cart more often, or maybe I can shave down the sd card a bit.

Yes I have the same issue, I have to hold the SD card completely inserted for the power switch to slide across the card properly. It hitches on the SD card otherwsie, and I wondered if I just had a slightly off centered board or something, but the design does seem prone to this hiccup.

[NightWolve]

Oh, so he didn't quite get good universal placement for the microSD slot for all the many iterations of NEC hardware...

I almost thought it's not just for the RX - looking at my TurboExpress just now and the green mold of the power switch to hold the card in, it's like RIGHT THERE, it almost could touch the microSD card, I thought it was! Barely avoided putting pressure on it. Yeah, he needed to have moved that IC behind it more to the center, then he could've done the same for it... Or, he could've moved it and the reset button a little closer to the USB front center and that would've been good enough...

Sigh, so a minor slot placement issue there, major no-compatibility issue with US TG-16s, he screws up $1,XXX+ orders if more than one shipping address is added with special instructions, etc... And he didn't pull the lever on going for Arcade Card support though he considered it... All in all, a little disappointing... :/ It's fine for me given my Express and Duo (the TG-16 I won in a contest broke on me in the 90's), and the bizarre order mix-up is forgivable since it worked out, but I'm sure there are others expressing far worse buyer's remorse right now.

Yup.. mine is pretty much useless to me...

As someone who does not have a large library of games, has never owned a flash card, and is interested in starting to develop for the system, I am the opposite of remorseful. I am so excited to get some more free time and really dive into some games I thought I would never play on actual hardware

For the record, my console is a Duo-R. I have not unpacked my TG-16 to test it on, once I got a Duo I packed away my TG as a backup.

That poor TG-16

You have to pull it out and play a few times a year, at least.

Thank you.

I had a US Duo - but I like the aesthetic of the TGCD combo better so I sold my Duo... now I have to go back to RF if I want to use the TEDV2...

I have been thinking about getting a JP Duo or Duo-R though...

Oh it will see the light of day again. It's my backup right now, I try to have a daily driver and a backup, incase I flub up my daily driver I can keep playing if needed. I grew up with that turbo, so it's cozy getting a rest with the new Duo-R does the heavy lifting

Gotta love people taking advantage of tucci's group buy generosity to flip this stuff on ebay. Truly sad...

shitty shitty thing to do.  and the listing makes no mention of the thing being built like crap and buggy.  tuc...this is why you should only deal with respected members.  too many scammers take advantage of somebody trying to do something nice.

[Duo_R]

That price is crazy

[SmokeMonster]

That's my auction and it isn't from the group buy. I got two grou- buy TED's and one is permanently connected to my Duo and the other is in my PCE. I use them for testing the Everdrive packs that I maintain. Below is my big order of TED's direct from Krikzz.

Also, I listed the auction $79, the exact price of a TED from retrogate.
