I'm going to go with the pre-made carts, lord knows I've got some games I'd destroy to make into a flash cart. If I add the DSP-1 to the order will that support games with the Super FX chip? I didn't see much as far as videos with the Super Everdrive V2, just the first run cart. Even if it doesn't the only game with a special chip I want to play is Star Fox 2. I've already got the real carts of Street Fighter Alpha 2, Star Fox and Stunt Race FX.

Yeah you really only need a few carts the everdrive doesn't support. Star Fox, Yoshi's Island, and Mario Rpg. Everything else I want works.

Welp, looks like I'm finally gonna get myself a flash cart hopefully. I've always felt like Stone Age Gamer really price-gouged some of their stuff. I'd rather have my stuff with no frills, so I've been looking at Retrogate more for a while now.

Shit son, that's a game changer right there. I'd buy one in a heartbeat once that comes along!

Sag is a good seller, I've done business with them on a few occasions, they just charge waaaay to much for their deluxe editions.
They have started selling pcb only carts for just about the same price as retrogate, so I'm cool with them. When I ordered the loose pcbs of the Master System and GG Everdrives they included free labels, which was cool since I had worthless sports games to steal shells from.

I bought one Everdrive from SAG. The deluxe model Super Everdrive. I paid quite a bit more for it that I would have from Krikzz (I think this was before he had his retrogate storefront.) it came with an SD card, a labeled cart shell, and a universal game case with insert. It also came with 2 coupons for free firmware upgrades, but both had expiration dates.
In short, fuck that guy. Retrogate or GTFO.

Super Everdrive will only do DSP-1 games (Mario Kart, Pilotwings, etc.) along with other non special chip games. If you got the scratch, then get the SD2SNES; you won't need to sac a cart to do DSP-1 games, it'll play MMX2 and on, with more special chip games being worked on still.
I sent my Everdrive MD and my Super ED (or was it the ED64) to get firmware updates to SAG. I couldn't justify getting a JTAG progammer just to do the upgrade, but in retrospect, it would've been cheaper just to flash it myself or even ask KRIKzz to upgrade it for me.

Good looking out! Just picked up the Everdrive 64. Now I finally have all the everdrives except the game gear one, which I don't want anyway.

Everdrive64, Super Everdrive, and a Mega Everdrive (to replace my Everdrive MD - I want the extra sega cd functionality)
I've been waiting for this sale for about 5 months
Is this confirmed for the cart? I was on the fence about buying one because I don't want an upgraded version to come out that supports ODE 2 months from now.

Goddamn it, I forgot about that tease. No, I was just referring to the CD saving functionality.
Oh well. I guess I'll be upgrading again next black friday then

I ended up missing out, and the SD2SNES was sold out at Retrogate, so I ended up buying a board-only one from SAG. Not so bad I guess, since I earned triple the tickets and some other things due to it being Cyber Monday. Don't they also send you a gift card with your flash cart and then the 5% off your next purchase?

the 5% off (or whatever it is) doesn't apply to other flashcarts. just an FYI.

How long does it usually take to get a shipment from Krizz? I'm trying to enter in the tracking number off USPS and it doesn't come up. Maybe that means the label was printed and he didn't send it out yet. I'm holding off on using both of them till after Christmas since I just got the collectors edition of Kingdom Hearts and I plan on going through the whole sha-bang.

I just got a tracking# from him the other day, looks like it's registered airmail. Which is around 1-2 weeks in my experience and usually doesn't update until it hits the US or sometimes even after the item has already been delivered.

Woop! Woop! Got em' in the mail today! I'm not bothering with the NES one since my replacement 72-pin connector's been giving me the death grip and I don't want to fuck up a 100 dollar cart. So I'll just wait for the BLW to come in and then I'll go down that route. It does suck that I can't play Mega Man X2 and 3 and Star Fox 2 but come on, the SNES has one of the greatest libraries of games period.
