After seeing the design construction of this, I was sold :D

But after seeing the $40 shipping price to Canada I was made anxious...I guess that's accurate isn't it? Is the product not box-friendly to ship that the extra cost is necessary?

after seeing it was arcadeworks/quan involved i was sold... but $40 shipping to Aus hurts...

I'm fixing that soon...I hope. I'll make first class the default shipping for international and let people upgrade if they choose to.

I totally want this! I however also want a RGB-able NES that I don't have to desolder the PPU of myself...

Could you make a all-in-one must have feature solution inside a custom shell/case (similar to the work you've done with the amazing VMC version of the Omega)?

*Edit* Hot damn I just noticed the 400$ donation mark that includes the RGB install! Hope I can get the money together before that limited backing has reached capacity (4 out of 5 remaining).

I do have the premodded system with RGB as one of the pledge tiers. As for a custom case, I believe my competition has something to offer. I came up with this product so it didn't have to come down to that and those systems wouldn't have to suffer a horrible fate.

Hopefully your supplier can get a perfect 2.5mm pitch. I know on my NES Playchoice adapter it's 2.54mm. Took me a few tries to get it positioned just right, and then to make sure it didn't easily shake when playing in the cab. I don't actually need one of these, but I'll chip in a few bucks anyhow.

The connectors are being custom fabricated just for this project and will have the correct pitch so alignment issues won't be a problem.

Backed.

I also spread the word on the Facebook and Twitter feeds to my podcast, for what it's worth.
This is definitely something I can get behind.

Posted a thread on AtariAge about this. I'm sure some of the guys there will be interested.

Outstanding. HnR is never in short supply in my area. I have at least 6 locations to choose from.

We'll find a way. How about Super Bit-Con in OKC or Midwest Gaming Classic in Milwaukee next year?
