Thread: Any other good flash drive?

  1. #1

    Any other good flash drive?

    I have the everdrive for the mega drive (which is amazing btw) and im going to buy a nintendo 64 one when the guy has some in stock. Im going to ebay all of my old retro games because they take up so much room.

    Any other flash drives that will work on UK consoles? I would like an NES everdrive ...

    The PowerPak is great, and with Loopy's MMC5 mapper it supports near enough every game.

    Does the power pak work on a UK NES, i cant seem to find anyone in the UK who sells it.

    UK NES hasn't been completely tested. Most things should work but they'll remain limited to 50hz speed...

    The PowerPak is only sold at retrousb.com which is based in the USA. They(he?) make them and are the only seller.

    It should, the PowerPak has a special CIC that will work with any region NES.

    How much do you think the taxes would cost to import it to the UK? How would i even pay those taxes?

    I imported one to Canada. I had to pay 8$ of handling + my local sale taxes.

    Royal Mail will give you a card through the door with the amount you need to pay. You'll then have to head to your sorting office with the card to pay before they give you the goods.

    The amount will be 20%VAT on the value, and then another fee on top for RM themselves. So budget for £30 total fees.

    Or find someone in the US selling theirs who will not mark the package as full value.

    I'm looking for Everdrive alternatives too since they're all perpetually out of stock at Stoneage gamer.

    We have had a lot of stock the last few weeks. We sell a lot of EverDrives. Not sure which EverDrive you are looking for.

    We have begun to contract out a lot of our Deluxe production which should help with stock. However in the end its still up to KRIKzz to get us the boards.

    You have to be more clear. Were you looking for board or Deluxe?

    We just had some boards on the site that lasted a few weeks (they are sold out now). Deluxe should be back in stock probably in the next week.

    This isn't walmart, the demand fully outstrips the supply. The only reason why they don't charge crazy prices for these thing is that they:
    1.) not insane, 2.) Know that 90% of all forum goers are cheap.
    So please sit back and check the sites often, and keep communication with the sellers.
    I have almost every ED, by just packing a couple hundred away in the bank till it pops up on the site.(beer fund suffers though)
